If you're like me, you've spent hours staring at Glissa the traitor thinking, "I know you're a powerful card but what deck would actually win?". I present to you, an attempt to answer this query.

The idea is cheap artifacts that stack up quickly; Ornithopter + piston sledge/cranial plating happens often on turn 3 (with the help of mox opal) and that'll swing for 7. Someone kills your thopter? It's fine, glissa will return it from the grave when you use removal and at zero cost, it's back on the battlefield. Etched champion is so difficult to deal with, protection from all colors makes him essentially unblockable.

Not finding a thopter? Glissa herself is great with equipment, and if jarad hits the battlefield you can sac equipped creatures to have opponents lose heavy life.

Pernicious deed and Yahenni's expertise are mass removal and can help return artifacts from the grave, since glissa will "see" the wipe.

If the game goes into later rounds, spine of ish sash is a capable force of destruction, and piston sledge can help to sac it.
