My first Commander deck. Based on Glissa's artifact recurring ability, +1/+1 counters, some infect, proliferate and Glissa's deathtouch ability. Basic idea is to keep the gas flowing with Glissa triggers recurring artifacts like crazy.

The equipment in the deck work to either protect Glissa, force a block (creating a Glissa trigger, which infect is also great at doing) or push damage through.

To go nuts with the deck, use Mirrorworks and Sculpting Steel as a copy of Mirrorworks (make sure to copy it with the original Mirrorworks so you have three of them). It's quite funny when you start having 4 Doubling Cubes and 4 Memory Jars although, of course, if you can actually do this, you probably could've won a long time ago and are just playing for kicks.

As for mana to start Mirrorworks shenanigans or just to use in general, use Expedition Map and tutors to set up Urborg, Cabal Coffers, Deserted Temple and Vesuva copying Coffers which should be plenty.

There are two instant win combos in the deck, which I don't use often but are there for the sake of it: Infinite tokens/mana/damage and infinite Mindslaver

Infinite tokens/mana/damage: Combo of Krark-Clan Ironworks, Nim Deathmantle, an artifact creature that can produce 2 or more tokens (which would be Pentavus, Wurmcoil Engine or Myr Battlesphere in this case) and Goblin Cannon.

Basically, sacrifice one token and the creature itself to make 4 mana and bring the creature back with the deathmantle. For wurmcoil, triggers have to be stacked so that the deathmantle ability is underneath the wurmcoil's ability so that you can sacrifice another token for the 2 mana required. As for Pentavus, make 4 Pentavites, sacrifice one and the Pentavus to bring it back, then sacrifice two more Pentavites to make 4 more Pentavites. Make infinite tokens, sac them for infinite mana and activate Goblin Cannon infinite times to shoot for damage.

Infinite Mindslaver: Combo of Mindslaver, Forbidden Orchard, Glissa, the Traitor, a Mirrorworks or Rings of Brighthearth for each additional player and 10 mana + 6 (Mirrorworks) or 2 (Rings) for each additional player.

For this combo, give the opponent a token with the orchard on your turn and use Mindslaver on them. On their turn, attack the token into Glissa and return Mindslaver to hand, ready to go again for an infinite loop. For each additional player use Mirrorworks to get multiple copies of Mindslaver. Of course, the legendary rule prevents two Mindslavers being on the field at the same time so you have to sacrifice one in response to the Mirrorworks trigger, then pay for the Mirrorworks trigger to get another Mindslaver, sac that one in response to the next Mirrorworks trigger etc. Using the Rings instead of Mirrorworks is fairly self-explanatory. I have never actually pulled this combo off on the whole table but usually taking control of one player and ganging up on the other does the trick.
