Deck Description

My first attempt at an EDH deck. I'm excited to buy the cards and actually start playing, but I want to make sure that it's as balanced as it can be. All feedback is welcome

How to Play

The idea is to use glissa for recurring power artifacts that will overwhelm the opponent. My friends have some pretty good EDH decks, so the more competitive this is the better, but I also really like using massive bombs, so I'm hesitant to cut too many of the power cards I've included, despite the fact that there may be far too many.

Deck discussion for Glissa EDH

Urza's Bauble gives you another absurd draw engine with Glissa in play.

Triangle of War functions similarly to Executioner's Capsule as recurrable removable, especially with that many deathtouch creatures.

Black Market is an absolute BOMB in Glissa. I had twelve counters on one in my Glissa deck just last night, and that was in a dual. I've had 20+ on it multiple times in four player games.

Ratchet Bomb is a must-have, IMO. A two-mana reusable token wipe is sick. If your meta doesn't have many token decks I guess it wouldn't do much, but I see so many that it winds up ruining someone's day every single game.

I personally would run Sever the Bloodline over Sudden Death and probably over Hero's Downfall. Yeah it's one more mana, but it will deal with indestructible Theros gods, it ends graveyard shenanigans, it has flashback, and you can sometimes hit multiple creatures with it if someone has tokens or is cloning, etc.

manabasecrafter.com is a great source for finding all available mana sources for your particular commander. There always winds up being one or two old ones I forgot about.

Thanks! I took some of your advice, including using the manabasefinder website. I'm not sure I need black market, as it kinda takes a while to get going, and I have so many other cards that accelerate faster and have similar potential for mana production. I'm having a hard time deciding what to take out though
