Commander: Gisa, the Hellraiser

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This mono-black deck uses Gisa, the Hellraiser as a force multiplier: every crime you commit converts into two Zombie Rogue tokens, feeding a go-wide menace strategy while drawing cards and removing threats. The primary plan is to land Gisa on turn four, protect her with cheap instants or boots, then profitably cast removal and discard spells that simultaneously answer opponents and generate an army. Secondary paths include reanimator recursion via Reanimate and Rise of the Dark Realms, a small Jecht saga combo that makes opponents sacrifice, and card-advantage beatdown from Blood Artist and Undead Augur. The deck is heavily interactive and durdly, often winning through attrition, combat damage, and draining triggers.
