I'd shorten the lands quite a bit. Also, Being an EDH player myself, think hard about which cards help your theme. Keep in mind that even if a card is good in every format, it may not be the same for EDH. I understand budgeting may be a problem, but think about cards that function together and see if you can get some criticism from you local game store and play group.

Yeah, I was looking at the deck last night and I realized that half the deck really sucks. I'm building out of what cards I have, so I can't guarantee it'll improve too much. Thanks for the input, though.

You need Malignus and Heartless Hidetsugu , both have great synergy with Gisela, and all of the other double-damage or double-strike boosters you have in.

You have five creatures that could possibly trigger Seraph Sanctuary . I know you only have 4 colorless-producing lands, but I don't think that tiny bit of life gain is worth the small chance of color screwing yourself early in the game.

Wouldn't Heartless Hidetsugu and gisela create and instant draw?

Wouldn't Heartless Hidetsugu and gisela create and instant draw?

Nooooo, read both of the cards very carefully. Heartless Hidetsugu would make everyone lose half their life, but with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight out as well, as the card says, all of your opponents would get dealt double damage, equalling a one-shot game winner. As for your own life loss, you would only take one half of the damage by Heartless, the other half being prevented by Gisela.

if you put Serra Avatar + Swift Justice + card:Executioner's Hood + Gisela, Blade of Goldnight thats essentially gg

I'd take out Kruin Outlaw  ^Flip for sure. In a multipalyer game it won't stay flipped for very long (if it ever flips at all) and with it being your only werewolf it's flipped ability isn't worth having anways.

I prefer to have a little more removal in my decks Duergar Hedge-Mage & Archon of Justice are good choices.

Other great creatures for your deck to help focus it a little and exploit the artifact strategy include: Etched Champion (virtually unblockable), Hellkite Igniter (big damage), Hoard-Smelter Dragon (Artifact destruction & big damage), Hoarding Dragon (tutor), Indomitable Archangel (Shroud), Kuldotha Phoenix (Never goes away), Leonin Abunas (Hexproof), Mycosynth Golem (cost control, especially for the Blightsteel), Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer (indestructable), Bosh, Iron Golem (deals damage), & Megatog (HUGE damage). Megatog can be especially nice with Gisella because you can just sacrifice your entire artifact arsenal to make him huge and trample over for the win.

and of course if you can afford it Darksteel Forge . I don't know what your budget is or what you really want to spend on this deck or really how expensive any of these cards but those are my suggestions :)

Wow, thanks for the help! I'll keep all of this in mind.

I've got a Gisela deck myself, so I like to browse others and compare. I like the subtheme that you have in here for artifacts, especially combinations like Mycosynth Lattice and Vandalblast . I'd suggest switching out your smaller guys with larger, more impactful cards. Think things that play well with Gisela, like Hammerfist Giant . +1.

Btw, if you're curious about mine, the strategy is to pillow fort til late game and come out blasting.

Looking at this list, you might want to replace Windbrisk Raptor with Victory's Herald. One mana cheaper and grants flying as well as lifelink.

My concern is that Victory's Herald has to attack for the trigger to go off, but I'll test it.

Also, I am considering shortening the lands just a bit. I could add some 4-costs instead, the curve drops out at 4.

Dictate of the Twin Gods for the extra surprise doubling

Gratuitous Violence is usually better, honestly. I'd like to keep enchantments to a minimum to keep the artifact theme strong.

Nice deck +1. Could you review and upvote my Aurelia Boros Voltron?
