Here's the plan: Mindslaver every turn.
To do that takes a lot of resources. 10 mana to cast and trigger the Mindslaver, and a creature needs to hit an opponent's graveyard each turn. Here's how to make that viable:
Cloud Key and Semblance Anvil reduce the mana needed to cast my artifacts. Mana rocks like Everflowing Chalice and Sol Ring help get to that 10 mana goal.
Once I have control of an opponent's turn, it should be as simple as having that player attack with a creature into my untapped Glissa. To make sure that they have a creature to attack with, Forbidden Orchard puts creatures into play in their control. Head Games is another option. Search their library for plays that benefit me. Very satisfying.
