Deck Description

Synergistic, Glissa artifact EDH deck. Works well in casual multiplayer and with a few tweaks such as removing sol ring, can work in 1v1. The deck has a playable curve and answers to many threats while not appearing threatening to others. quick to start with land tutors, draw spells and mana rocks (all recurable artifacts) and a few game winning combos

How to Play

Combos include:
Mindslaver + forbidden orchard = infinite turn control on one player
myr battlesphere + nim deathmantle + ashnods altar/ironworks = infinite myrs and mana
myr turbine + dross scorpion + ashnods altar/ironworks = infinite mana
Glissa + thornbite staff + memnite/ornithopter + altar/ironworks = infinite pops

there are other combos that keep popping up as the deck has great synergy as you play it.

Deck discussion for Glissa EDH

You have two copies of Hero's Demise (which is probably two too many) given that you could run Go for the Throat there.

Vault of Whispers gives you a third artifact land. You're probably light on lands anyway. That and Inventors' Fair would give you 35, which is still lean but better than 33. Personally I'd add Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers to get to 37.

If you're running all three lands you could run Prototype Portal, because ramping a Darksteel Citadel token every turn for zero mana feels good.

Triangle of War winds up being another Executioner's Capsule w Glissa out.

Hi, thanks for all the advice.
the hero's demise was an error there was meant to be a tainted wood. also hero's demise always has a target with their commander whereas go for the throat might not always hit.
I am after a vault of whispers for the deck but it runs well on 34 land as much of the stuff is cheap and there is a lot of mana rocks as well as artefact land tutors that recur easily early game. Urborg and cabal coffers seem unnecessary cost wise as I manage to get out most of my lands in many games and have little trouble with fixing.
prototype portal is a good shout and I am unsure how triangle would interact with glisssa. wouldn't she die against a >3 power creature?

Two copies of Tainted Wood now.

Go for the Throat won't hit Bosh, Breya, Hope of Ghirapur, Karn, Memnarch, Reaper King, Sen Triplets, Sharuum and Silan Ren, so 8 commanders. Vs. probably 10,000 creatures that Hero's Demise won't hit. There's a reason Hero's Demise is in 302 decks on EDHREC and Go for the Throat is in 5316.

I still think 34 is super lean for lands. I'm at 37 in Glissa, and my avg CMC is lower than yours, and that's with Decree of Pain in my deck throwing the average out of whack. You're really not running many mana rocks, though, probably less than the average for a well-built deck. Plus mana rocks don't do much good if you have to mull three times to get enough land in your starting hand. Still, if it works for you so be it.

Glissa isn't the only deathtouch creature you have, and sometimes you just wind up using a 5/5 to kill a 4/4. But even if you lose Glissa to take out that combo piece it's often times worth it, or just to swap generals. Plus Glissa is so cheap it's often times worth trading. I'd totally trade my 3 drop Glissa for a 6 drop Niv Mizzet or something, particularly when I get the removal spell back.
