My experiments with Glissa Rock were turning out well when my browsing of MTGtop8 showed me that Noriyuki Ayukawa also looked at Glissa, in a Jund shell. I like my creature base and artifact distribution better, since an equivalent worked very well in the Rock shell.

--taken from my Glissa Rock deck--

This deck takes the traditional BG Rock core of Scavenging Ooze, Tarmogoyf, Dark Confidant, and Liliana of the Veil and adds a complementary artifact based core using Glissa, the Traitor, Executioner's Capsule, and Wurmcoil Engine at the top end as a counterpart to Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet.

Glissa enables effective use of Liliana's +1 by pitching artifacts which can then be recovered using either Liliana's -2 the following turn, combat, or another removal spell.

The interaction between Glissa and Executioner's Capusle alone significantly increases the ability of this Rock shell to outlast other midrange and aggro decks. Pyrite Spellbomb is a flexibile win con/draw engine that can stabilize a board or pull you ahead. The higher artifact count works to support early Tarmogoyfs more reliably than the 2-3 copies of Courser of Kruphix typically played in Rock shells.

Glissa and Sword of Light and Shadow out of the board can recur one another independently; maindeck Kolaghan's Command for the added flexibility attached to the recursion effect.

Finally, the artifact based shell also allows for more effective sideboarding against control and combo decks given the high recursion potential of the selected artifact answers.
