Experimental I wanted to make a deck around Glissa, the Traitor. Her stats alone make her a great card for the cost, but it's the utility ability that makes her into something to build a deck around. I figured I'd have to use quite a few artifacts, but I felt going all artifacts with a few Glissas was the wrong approach. Surely I had to take advantage of what her colors (green/black) had to offer. For black, what immediately stood out was Doom Blade and Go for the Throat. Killing creatures is what black does better than anyone plus it allows Glissa to bring an artifact back. Green was a bit tougher. I thought, what does green do best? Creatures. No color can compare to green when it comes to undercosted, wrecking ball type creatues. One creature I've felt was extremely undercosted that never found a home was Garruk's Companion. A 3/2 Trample for 2?? I thought the designers were insane when they printed that card, yet it's never made an impact. Immediately, I thought Piston Sledge just might be the card to change that. A 6/3 Trampler swinging on turn 3 seems better than a turn one Goblin Guide to me. So it seemed to me that if I was to play artifacts it would be in the way of equipment and leave the creatures to green. But what other green creatures would work well with equipment? Then I stumbled across Ezuri's Brigade. Bingo. That creature might be the heaviest hitter for the cheapest cost Magic has ever had; as long as you have Metal Craft. Well a Glissa Deck should certainly have that. So I had my basic win condition. Piston Sledge + Garruk's Companion allows me to swing for 6/3 Trample on turn 3, and Strider Harness + Ezuri's Brigade allows me to swing for 9/9 Trample as soon as turn 4! When it works, it's scary. When it doesn't, it's flat. I also felt that the deck wasn't really utilizing Glissa. Basically at this point she existed to return artifacts I sacrificed to reattach Piston Sledge. Pretty menial. Then I had an epiphany of sorts. Perilous Myr. That guy and Glissa are like soul mates. When he dies, he almost always kills something else which lets Glissa get him right back. So what you may think? My opponent will just avoid killing him. After all he only swings for 1 right? Let's see him ignore a Perilous Myr equipped with a Piston Sledge! I decided to play only 2 Glissa's because she's a legendary creature and having multiples in your hand equates to dead cards. Of course running 2 also means I won't draw her as easy. Thankfully Wizards solved this problem for my by giving us Green Sun Zenith. I run three along with one Disentomb so that I have five chances to draw her and three chances to make her stick. The editions of the Green Sun Zenith allowed me also to be a little techy and run one of's each of Thrun, the Last Troll and Ezuri, Renegade Leader. All in all, it's come to be a strong kitchen table deck that's also a lot of fun to play. It's still in the development stages so I'm not expecting to win any major tournaments, but it could be an FNM contender. BAD MATCHUP: Elves. I need to find an answer to mass aggro.
