Gisela, Blade of Goldnight in 4 color Re-Animator?
Deck Help forum
Posted on June 13, 2013, 3:42 p.m. by Mythimine
Hello everyone. I am working on making a pretty cookie cutter type 4 c re-animator deck with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight in it (along with Dreadbore ) so I can justify running red and not just Junk Rites, However there are no decklists that I've looked at that run her. Why is this? Is she not viable or is it just something that shouldn't be run?
She doesn't win on the spot like Angel of Serenity does. She's still really good, but you still have to get damage in.

Reanimator decks prefer creatures that have an immediate effect on the game when they come out, either through ETB abilities or by affecting your opponent's board state. Cards like Obzedat, Ghost Council , Angel of Serenity and Thragtusk make things happen before your opponent has a chance to remove them. Gisela gives your opponent plenty of time to deal with her before she affects anything. If she had haste or could protect herself, it might be a different story.

Thank you for the input. I can see why it is not the best creature to put in this deck. I'll throw Obzedat, Ghost Council in her one of space

Another annoying thing is coming across an opponent using red and has Zealous Conscripts or Mark of Mutiny in their sideboard that they bring out.
Nothing is worse than getting it stolen and hit for game
