Deck Description

Oh, Gisela. Y u so strong 4?

I am having a hell of a time getting this deck down to 99. As you can see, all of the cards I have been/am still considering are in my sideboard. I feel like I'm beginning to lock down where I want to go with this deck, but I am extremely conflicted.

I'm trying to go for a deck that can control/suppress the board and deter opponents from attacking me, ramping until I can get out Gisela. Preferably at this point I will wipe either all lands and count on Gisela to quickly kill opponents, or board wipe while protecting her from it and kill. There is a decent amount of stuff for haste and double strike/double damage to improve Gisela's odds and make Heartless Hidetsugu go off. I am lacking in card draw, but I don't know how to fit it in/which expensive CMC cards are even worth it. I also have 8 etb tapped lands, which I find will probably be bad.

Any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Deck discussion for Gisela EDH old

Some of the cards you are using to deter people will actually make you even more enemies. Stranglehold will get you instant-focused by most people and constant board wipes will leave a lot of people gunning for you early in any game afterwords. I also personally think you have way too many artifacts that will only slow you down once you hit mid to late game. I would toss out the Wayfarer's Bauble, Armilary Sphere, Staff of Nin, Skullclamp, and Crucible of Worlds. I know a lot of this sounds useful (especially Crucible due to one of your win cons) but they are only going to mess up your consistency. I would also cut out Master Warcraft, Debt of Loyalty, and Nevermore.

To speed up getting to Gisela, you may want to consider Urza's Incubator and Temple of the False God. As for keeping her alive, your options include Avacyn, Aegis Angel, Indestructibility, and Gift of Immortality. Sphere of Safety will help keep people away from you. You will also need quite a few more creatures to help deal with aggro, and there are few things as satisfying as blocking an entire goblin bum rush with a Guardian of the Gateless with a Darksteel Plate.
