Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black attrition and control strategy led by Gisa, Glorious Resurrector. The primary plan revolves around deploying Gisa, removing opposing creatures using sacrifice edicts or mass sweepers, and stealing those creatures on the following upkeep with decayed. Once stolen, these creatures attack for substantial chunk damage before sacrificing themselves at end of combat. The deck leverages these death triggers through aristocrat payoffs like Syr Konrad, the Grim and Vindictive Vampire to drain opponents simultaneously. Backup plans include reanimation spells such as Ghouls' Night Out, token generation to awaken Westvale Abbey into Ormendahl, Profane Prince, and closing late games with a large Exsanguinate. While the deck boasts immense resilience against creature-heavy boards and passively shuts down opposing graveyard recursion, its reliance on Gisa surviving a full rotation and its inability to remove artifacts or enchantments define its primary limitations.
