Some cantrip Artifacts to make the game faster (the absolute minimum is included). I wish I could play more (Mishra's Bauble i.e.), but there is simply no place.

One recurring Problem in 1 of 10 games is, that the second green mana for Glissa is missing in the early game. But the land and fetch mix is pretty good at all. So I don't want to change this at the moment.

Many Swamps working great with Lashwrithe.

You can control the game very good with Nevinyrral's Disk. When you activate it, there are 2 things to remember:

1. Glissa will see the creatues die
2. When Glissa's effects resolve, the disk is in the GY

You get the disk and many more artifacts back. If Glissa is on the board -> wrath effects are normally you friends.

Thornbite Staff + Avatar of Woe or Visara the Dreadful are working like a minigun. With enough mana, you can use Glissa, too. But there is an disadvantage: Your opponents won't cast creatures anymore. And you have "target" tattooed on the forehead.

Further killers are Executioner's Capsule and Triangle of War. You get them back immediatley. Be careful with the Triangle, because There is no "First Strike"-Phase in this type of combat. If you can bring out Salvaging Station, then these cards are working a little better.

Sideboard

What happens, if your opponent don't play any or very few creatures? Then it will be hard to play your game. Whatever, you can bring Hunted Troll from the sideboard, to make the game a little easier.

Jester's Cap can be used in a 2 or 3 player game. Otherwise this is nearly a dead card. You can't move so many cards from 3 or more libraries into exile, to make it relevant.
