How to keep Glissa, the Traitor *oversized* alive.
Deck Help forum

I love Glissa, the Traitor as my commander and I love what she can do, manipulating artifact sacrifice and such, but I can't manage to keep her around for very long. Recently it was Balefire Dragon and getting her stolen from me. Maybe I need more hexproof stuff or maybe something else. Here's my deck, I need your help!

Depends on the approach you want... you can try more hexproof/shroud, like Asceticism , Mask of Avacyn , Lightning Greaves - those protect against many common tricks but not so much against the likes of Balefire Dragon .
For the dragon, your best option would probably be to have removal you can use on him. Spine of Ish Sah , Duplicant are some artifact-based removal that would go well with some sacrifice outlets. Considering Glissa's ability, you might want to try a lot of repeatable removal out, like Attrition .
Another way to protect her against board wipes and that dragon is make her indestructible. You could do this with Darksteel Plate or Shield of Kaldra .
Sacrifice outlets for your creatures can keep them from being turned against you. Ashnod's Altar , Attrition again, High Market , Carnage Altar , Carrion are ideas.
Sacrifice outlets for your artifacts, such as Phyrexia's Core , Soldevi Adnate , Krark-Clan Ironworks , Priest of Yawgmoth might help.

Hey thanks a ton! Darksteel Plate and Shield of Kaldra will probably both find places as well as a few more things that make her hexproof or shrouded! I have Executioner's Capsule for removing lots of enemies pretty cheaply already but more is rarely a bad thing.

Try out Darksteel Plate and see if you like it.
