Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Gisa, the Hellraiser is a mono-black aristocrats deck that wins by grinding incremental life drain and wide Zombie attacks. Gisa gives your Skeletons and Zombies +1/+1 and menace and creates two tapped 2/2 Zombie Rogues once per turn whenever you commit a crime by targeting opponents or their graveyards. The primary plan builds a board of drainers like Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat, generates tokens through crimes, then sacrifices them for value and damage. Secondary paths use Gray Merchant of Asphodel for burst drain, Coat of Arms for lethal combat, and Bolas's Citadel for card advantage. Kaervek, the Punisher acts as a hidden engine that copies crimes from the graveyard.
