I've been searching for a graveyard deck that suits my playstyle, after being primarily an Arcum Dagsson artifact guy. Glissa, the Traitor is my third attempt at such a deck, the first being Ayli and the second being Meren.

I rather like how active Glissa is in her recursion, and how specific her trigger is. It makes an interesting problem to solve, and I'm enjoying goldfishing it on my own while I feel out the interactions.

The interaction of note is of course Glissa and the various spellbombs and wellsprings, paired off with Viridian Longbow and an enemy token generator, like Forbidden Orchard.Forbidden Orchard + Glissa, the Traitor + Viridian Longbow

The deck also has a Scapeshift victory plan, using Cabal Coffers + Deserted Temple + Rings of Brighthearth and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth with 6 lands to generate infinite land untaps and mana. Pair that engine with Grier Reach Sanitarium to draw through the deck, or Drownyard Temple + Dust Bowl to destroy all opposing lands.

The deck also sports a tokens, counters and energy subtheme, with such happy fun times as Krark-Clan Ironworks + Nim Deathmantle + Wurmcoil Engine and Marionette Master. Happily substitute Wurmcoil and KCI for other token generating non-artifact creatures and Ashnod's Altar. With all the mana you could want, and all the death triggers you could want, it is easy to burn the table away with a grey goo swarm of Wurmcoil Engines, Pentavites, Servos, and Marionette Master triggers.

All advice welcome! I haven't taken this to any official game yet, so I'm curious about others' opinions.
