Combat-Oriented Glissa

There are a staggering number of ways to build Glissa, the Traitor, from combo, to Deathtouch, to even Construct-tribal. I've noticed that the most popular strategies appear to center around sacrifice-oriented cards like Krark-Clan Ironworks and Plaguecrafter, in an attempt to clear your opponents' boards of creatures while simultaneously building artifact recursion loops between the battlefield, your hand, and your graveyard.

This build takes a different approach and attempts to use Glissa's recursion abilities to maintain a formidable, offensive board state. I haven't taken this version of the deck apart since Kaladesh released, and while I've made some major changes to it over the years, it still retains many of its core elements.

Buffbots

The main deckbuilding challenge of this build was to only use artifact creatures (other than the commander). Chief of the Foundry and Steel Overseer boost the army's power and toughness, as does Forsaken Monument for the colorless creatures. Shimmer Myr gives them all flash, and Scarecrone brings them back from the graveyard.
