Amonkhet —May 6, 2017

Since the release of Amonkhet i figured i would spice up the old deck with some of the new cards

Hi welcome to the format. As for suggestions generally speaking i'm not a fan of individual discard spells like Despise or Horrifying Revelation especially in a multiplayer environment. As for suggestions I'd consider Command Tower, Rooftop Storm, Entomb, Buried Alive andCemetery Reaper. It's a good start especially considering it's your first one. One site I live to use is EDHREC.com For any given legendary creature it gives you the most commonly used cards for that commander and is good for looking at what other people are doing.

whoops just realized you are gisa not gisa/geralf. Ignore the command tower and rooftop storm in my last comment.

I have an awesome gisa deck but i haven't managed to upload it yet. Couple of suggestions, Phyrexian Dreadnaught because its insane. Sac it to gisa in response to its trigger, 12 zombies for 1 mana. Also dawn of the dead is just great in this deck. I will get my list uploaded and link it to you.

You might want to add urborg, tomb of yawgmoth to help your cabal coffers.

Aside from the Phyrexian Dreadnought already mentioned, you wouldn't go wrong adding a number of the under-costed black creatures (demons mostly) that come with a significant downside to offset the difference.

For example, Abyssal Persecutor is a 6/6 flying trampler until you want to kill someone, then it becomes a horde of zombies with Gisa. Or, cast Demonlord of Ashmouth, immediately sac it to Gisa, then use one of the zonbies to pay its cost when it enters the battlefield again due to undying. See also: Desecration Demon, Grinning Demon, Master of the Feast, Shadowborn Demon.

I also suggest cards with beneficial x/x power toughness. Such as Sewer Nemesis, Nightmare, Korlash, Heir to Blackblade, Mortivore, Squelching Leeches.

Gisa is silly, so many potential shenanigans. For example; Bloodthrone Vampire, Nantuko Husk, Vampire Aristocrat and Phyrexian Ghoul aren't usually very good in edh, as big dumb beaters are usually inefficient use of your mana. (No upside when they die to Wrath of God etc) ...but, when you can sac a bunch of zombies to make them huge and then sac them to Gisa to get even more zombies? That's money.

I would definitely recommend Ghoulcaller's Chant instead of Disentomb.
