This Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck is a burn-heavy, damage amplification strategy focused on maximizing both direct damage and creature-based control. Gisela's ability to double damage dealt to opponents while halving damage dealt to you or your creatures is the key synergy that powers the deck's main plan: dealing mass amounts of damage with board wipes like Blasphemous Act, Chandra's Ignition, and Chain Reaction, while simultaneously protecting yourself from the consequences.

The deck is filled with damage-multiplying enchantments such as Furnace of Rath, Dictate of the Twin Gods, and Repercussion, making it extremely deadly when combined with damage dealers like Balefire Dragon, Heartless Hidetsugu, or Stuffy Doll. In addition, Firesong and Sunspeaker and Radiant Scrollwielder provide lifegain and recursion, which help sustain your aggressive plays.

Control elements like Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, and Lightmine Field allow you to keep the battlefield manageable, while Pyrohemia and Embermaw Hellion provide consistent, repeatable damage output. The deck also includes protection and synergy-based cards such as Light of Sanction, Pariah, and Palisade Giant to shield your creatures from friendly fire and redirect damage in your favor.

With Sunforger and a suite of powerful instants like Swords to Plowshares and Reiterate, you can adapt to threats on the fly, while tutors like Idyllic Tutor and Plea for Guidance help ensure you find the key pieces of your game plan. Wheel of Fortune and Reforge the Soul provide much-needed card draw to keep the pressure on.
