Balaam__ I just spent the last 2 hours play-testing casually to see how the life loss pans out, and most of the time? I'm fine. However, I am within what I like to refer to as my 'Red Panic' zone, where a RDW would knock me out.

• In short, once I've gotten into the 6 or less life range, and that's frequent enough, averaging 2.3 repeated out of 5 times. It's often enough for me to consider mainboarding Nourishing Shoal, and that's really the best I've got for such a problem.

• In matchups with burn the Shadowspear (or any of the other 1 drop artifacts, really) are ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS getting found turn 2. It's too easy with my Tutor line-up.

• In control heavy matchups, as expected, I kinda play bad. Something like Berserk really doesn't help me here and wouldn't for legality, but I digress- in those types of games I don't really have a great option.. only a good one. Apostle's Blessing.

• Stompy gets tanked because Green might be big but Golgari grows bigger. Surprisingly this is where the +1/+1 given from exile due to Plotting Aloe Alchemist is SO important. Because up against Boomer Tarmogoyf i edge out with the lead AND gain Trample for the turn on my turn {4}.

• Artifact heavy matchups get gutted by Force of Vigor, and only delays my game by a turn much like the description above. Monument to Endurance builds make me think about Delve cards, and Become Immense precisely.

• If there's wiggle, it might be Lost Jitte or maybe Lavaspur Boots, both? Potentially...but that's super secure and strong because of it's built in consistency from Urza's Saga.

I look forward to hearing from you further! And the deck description will obviously be updated at some point.. I've just gotten so lazy about that between moving and other things in life right now. Nonetheless, thought of you when I put the "final" draft together- Cheers!

I'm already -2 the recommended number of lands. I could probably cut Lavaspur Boots and maybe Keensight Mentor. Any other fat I can trim off?

I like it, I did the same paring for my own Karlach deck, though to make sure I had extra combats, I added in extra ramp and take extra turn spells, so she's always attacking.

She will get targeted a lot, so I'd consider some more protection such as Champion's Helm, Mask of Avacyn, Lavaspur Boots, etc

Hey, Gisa only having one haste source here makes her really slow to get going, if at all. Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Lavaspur Boots, consider maxing out on these haste sources? If you already control one then have more ways to discard away the others Collector's Vault, Putrid Imp?

There's some 2 drop mana rocks/cost reduction you could add to increase ramp Mind Stone/Jet Medallion, but I think you would be better off using these deck spots to improve potential early game reanimation. You have some reanimation, but what I don't see here are effects that can get Zombies into your graveyard to reanimate before you get Gisa as a sac outlet.

Collector's Vault, Diresight, Entomb, Unmarked Grave, Buried Alive, Lively Dirge, Putrid Imp these are spells you could potentially cast long before you control Gisa. Getting some cards into your graveyard a little faster helps Stitch Together's threshold. Can even play more potential early game draw Night's Whisper/Sign in Blood to get more than 7 cards in hand which then you can at your Cleanup step discard down to 7 cards as free discard to setup reanimation. If you're discarding creatures to reanimate then consider increasing lower mana cost reanimation Reanimate, Animate Dead, Persist, Necromancy?

Consider adding an earlier game reanimation plan to get Grave Titan onto the battlefield? Titan being a repeatable Zombie token source can hold down the fort until you get Gisa going. In the meantime, Titan could do damage to opponents. Archon of Cruelty also isn't a Zombie, but is an excellent reanimation target, who if you can control it in the earlier game can give you a huge advantage. When your Commander can create creature tokens and with Grave Titan, Altar of Bhaal is powerful repeatable reanimation when you have creature tokens to exile.

I hope this advice was helpful and if you're interested I offer more advice about what cards to consider cutting.
