Are you kidding me? These are AMAZING cards, and you are wasting them on a glissando commander deck.

JKRice I politely reject your premise. CEDH is awesome.

Its not the fact that its a commander deck, its that fact that Glissa is your commander. You could make an AMAZING deck with any other black green commander, but glissa is just bad. The rest of the deck is AMAZING

glissa is my baby fight me JKRice

A few suggestions you may find useful:

Stalling with Contagion + Bitterblossom or Awakening Zone usually ends games or at least plants you firmly in the lead. Skullclamp is then an auto-include with these additions.

I see you have Forbidden Orchard with no Mindslaver? These two combo with Glissa for an infinite turn lock.

Executioner's Capsule seems unassuming but I've had VERY good experiences with it in past games.

Trading Post does everything we want. Provides bodies, draws cards, recurs artifacts. Great for keeping the stax engine going.

Inventors' Fair is very easy to turn on for the lifegain since we play so many artifacts and can tutor any of our stax goodies.

Guardian Beast might be of interest to you to protect your important artifacts from pesky spells.

You're welcome to take a look at my list if you need more ideas. Mine is less creature focused than yours but we have pretty similar game plans. Only Perfection is Acceptable

Good to see another Glissa player!

I like it! You also might also want to consider Spine of Ish Sah. That and Sculpting Steel plus an artifact sac outlet are gross.

Thank You for all your comments, i was busy in Syracuse, and i might have played some edh. :)

Abysswalker Contamination, Bitterblossom, Awakening Zone, and Skullclamp is something i could do, i just never thought about it. This does make Glissa really hard to cast afterwards, which she isn't always needed, but the value from her in the long game is a real thing. Mindslaver was in a earlier version of this deck, but at that time mt pod was not cedh and only being able to lock one person out of the game made it a two vs two where they focus one person, and creatures beats is a real threat for a slow deck like this. Thankfully getting to lock someone out of the game at this level means i won't get stomped on. So i might try it again. Executioner's Capsule was in this deck, but nonblack is a serious drawback. While no one in my regular pod personally plays black, i still won't put it back in my deck. So in all I'm still happy I'm not playing it. I have played guardian beast before, many times its a 4 cost do nothing creature, and a one mana do nothing creatures isnt good enough, so its meh really, at least in my experience. if you have had better luck with it, thats's good for you, still can't Executioner's Capsule it (lol). Now for the last two cards, trading post seems good, but also seems way to slow to reliably do something including that my commander already gets artifacts from the grave. So will i try it? maybe. Do i think it will be slow? yes. Inventors' Fair will be in the deck now lol

KnightxFury Spine of Ish Sah was in this deck and seven mana destroy something is meh at best, even with sculpting steel and kci thats 1 mana destroy something, which is powerful, but three cards or more better win me the game, and this doesn't unless i have unlimited mana.

Hey there, i'm not really familiar with glissa but i think Executioner's Capsule is just bonkers with glissa, as you can always destroy creatures and take it back to your hand.

Executioner's Capsule is a card i purposefully left out. it is a destroy target nonblack creature, which still seems good, but is slow, mana intensive, and limited. This card is great in a casual pod, but I'm trying to focus on competitive pods, where most creatures i want to hit are x/1. So Darkblast is the card i choose to act as a sudo Capsule. kills creatures to trigger glissa, puts artifacts in my graveyard to fuel glissa, and lets me pick another artifact that may help with whats on board, and not be stuck to returning a removal spell.

i've played this deck, please no more trinisphere 0/10 -birb

Drakengard_Sol Confirmed mad that he lost. Lol

Nah dude i won that game, 3sphere is just annoying pls

Hey there. As a fellow stax player I want to congratulate you for this wonderful stax build. How about using Death Cloud and Nether Void?

If you want to look at mine: Marchesa Stax - bow before me

MartialArt
Nether Void is a good card for stax deck, if you can abuse it. I never thought about it as an option with glissa as she can't get around it. It's a mana leak for all spells including mine, and i can't stop that. Saying that, i feel it's obvious how i feel about that card in here.

Death Cloud is something i could see myself putting in here, but only after pox. So while this card won't make the cut anytime soon, pox might. Currently pox is a soft counter to Ad Nauseam, which i run. So it would take some time to see which has more benefits for me. Maybe i can jam them both in and not get punished, but it will take some testing.

Hi, I'm pretty new to the Commander format in terms of deck construction: could someone please tell me what "stax" means?

T1Glistener Stax seeks to slow down opposing decks through resource denial.

I've been playing Magic for 4 years and I still can't remember most of the deck names.

+1 from me, good list. Honestly surprised to not see Executioner's Capsule in here, since most to all Glissa decks I've seen include it.

MRDOOM3 I actually explained my reasoning for not including capsule. Its one of the comments, to save time I'll just copy paste it here.

Executioner's Capsule is a card i purposefully left out. it is a destroy target nonblack creature, which still seems good, but is slow, mana intensive, and limited.

Hope that helps explain why I choose to use what I do

I apologize if I missed an explanation for this or not, but have you considered running things that can make non-artifacts into artifacts to protect them? Things like Mycosynth Lattice, Liquimetal Coating, and Silverskin Armor can be used to save Glissa from The Abyss and effects like it...I don't know if they would hold their weight in this deck or not, but Liquimetal Coating has saved a few vital creatures for me at critical points in past matches.

I'd try that. Except, without the expensive stuff.

Paradox Engine could be really good here, especially with all your Mana rocks. I run it in my Anafenza, the Foremost stax deck. It almost always means a lot of stuff is about to hit the board. Upvote from me!
