Lifespark Spellbomb and Viridian Longbow. Paired together it's quite nasty but separetly one is a recursive problem land removal and the other, with your deathtouch general, kills most creatures.

Ive tried Lifespark Spellbomb but found it too slow. As for Viridian Longbow, its actually a card I keep going back and forth on when I compare it to Ulvenwald Tracker. On one hand its an artifact, doesnt put Glissa in danger, and is cheaper in the long haul. On the other, I can no longer attack with Glissa, I cant use it the turn Glissa comes down, and the upfront cost is a bit more expensive. I will most likely give it a shot and see how it performs.

Thanks for the recommendations, I appreciate it.

Have you considered running Executioner's Capsule? As long as you have the mana for it, with Glissa on the field, you can kill every non-black creature on their field. You sacrifice the capsule, putting the kill on the stack, capsule goes to graveyard, kill resolves, Glissa triggers, you get capsule back, rinse and repeat.

Hey lightsabermario, that card is good in more casual Glissa decks but for cEDH it's a 3 Mana sorcery removal spell that only hits no black creatures. Not only is it a bit slow for the format, it doesn't hit a lot of the commanders that are popular in my pod (tymna, yuriko, Oona, zur, meren).

So while the card is nice, it just doesn't make the cut.
