In not really a fan of black decks (too much removal of me), but looks like a fun build... Whens the C14 supposed to come out?

I'm pretty sure it comes out in November

If you add Phyrexian Altar , you go infinite with Gisa and Thornbite Staff.

The above only applies if there's a zombie buff on the battlefield. Just realized. One to sac for mana, one to sac to Gisa, and one to net you Zombies.

With Gisa, two things are going to benefit incredibly:

Zombie token tribal (obviously)

Cheap huge creatures (wait, what?)

So cards like Phyrexian Dreadnought and Hunted Horror are going to be all stars! (With a lot of them, you may have to activate Gisa's ability right when they enter, sometimes in response to their ETB, in order to alleviate their downsides: Phyrexian Soulgorger , Nyxathid , Drinker of Sorrow , Master of the Feast , Phylactery Lich , Phyrexian Negator , Desecration Elemental , Waning Wurm , Abyssal Persecutor , Desecration Demon , Grinning Demon , Stenchskipper , and Crumbling Colossus )

Happy deck tweaking!

Champion of Stray Souls has been a favorite of mine since it launched. Make tokens with Gisa, sacrifice them to reanimiate things to feed to Gisa again.

I would think about putting Nim Deathmantle in here if you are going more of a zombie theme. must have. Also another great one is Lim-Dul the Necromancer ill be back with more

Thornbite Staff and Puffer Extract are a must for Gisa

@YouGotFranked I have Thornbite Staff is the maybeboard. I need to pick one up yet. I might include Puffer Extract it's so high cost to play and then I have to had mana to make it good...

Check my list, it seems we came up with similar ideas. Gisa, Prom Queen

Phyrexian Dreadnought gives you 12 zombies for 1B.

I'm trying to come up with my own Gisa EDH. It's a rough first draft, but here it is in case you can get any ideas:

Also, I was considering Dark Prophecy for my deck as well, but if you have a lot of zombies and someone plays a creature board wipe, you will be in some serious pain (my group is heavy on board wipes). Just something to keep in mind; it's still a great card for this deck.

@ProgenitorX I am well aware of Dark Prophecy 's drawback. I was hesitant to add it (because my neighbor has a dickish Sharuum deck that's pretty much just boardwipes and counter spells,) but it has paid off for me. I was also considering adding Blood Artist Keep me alive.

I know Phyrexian Dreadnought is great but it's a bit pricey for me. (Just added Phyrexian Obliterator a couple hours ago. So i'm broke. It also can ruin my day if they kill Gisa in response to the Dreadnought being cast, especially early game.

I'll give your deck a look. I love giving advice, especially on Gisa (who already I've played enough to know what's good and what could be better) I'll look after work and Offer suggestions.Thanks.

ProgenitorX says... #18

Thanks! I've already gotten a few great additions from your deck (Thornbite Staff ). That's a good point on the Dreadnought. Maybe I'll reconsider him, especially since he costs quite a bit to buy.

@ProgenitorX Like Dreadnought is amazing in theory, but if it back fires it'll wreck everything. I'm playing a more control-y build, trying to not let my opponents have any creatures but I still have yet to go up a competitive deck or the Sharuum deck. It's dominated so far though.

Hey there! I really like the use of Lashwrithe with Gisa, so I added it and similar cards to my Gisa deck. Would you care to check it out? You may find awesome cards for your deck as well! MagicalHacker - Ghoulcaller Gisa
