Gisa's Motley Crew by NerfedKid

Format: Commander

Commander: Gisa, the Hellraiser

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Gisa, the Hellraiser leads a mono-black attrition engine that turns crimes (targeted removal, discard, and direct targeting) into a stream of 2/2 Zombie Rogues, which she also buffs with menace. The deck grinds value through sacrifice outlets and death triggers-Blood Artist, Falkenrath Noble, Nadier's Nightblade-while drawing heavily. Its main win is a tutored infinite life-drain loop using Exquisite Blood plus Sanguine Bond/Enduring Tenacity/Marauding Blight-Priest, started by any drain source. Secondary lines include a Bloodletter of Aclazotz + Rush of Dread one-shot or overwhelming combat with a token army. Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal serves as a powerful utility engine in the 99, but there is no true hidden commander.
