Glissa Sunslayer

Gameplan

Suit up Glissa Sunslayer as a low-cost Voltron threat whose first strike + deathtouch makes her nearly impossible to block profitably, then connect each turn for card advantage and removal. You curve into protection and evasion early, grind value with her triggers, and close games with commander damage or a stacked attacker. Backup beaters and recursion keep pressure on through removal-heavy tables.

Key Cards

• Swiftfoot Boots — Hexproof and haste protect Glissa and let her attack immediately after recasting.
• Whispersilk Cloak — Unblockable guarantees her triggers connect while granting shroud protection.
• Rogue's Passage — Reliably pushes her through for commander damage and value triggers.
• Skullclamp — Turns her deathtouch chip kills and your tokens into a relentless card engine.
• Lightning Greaves — Cheap haste and shroud to keep her swinging through removal.
• Nighthawk Scavenger — Another evasive deathtouch threat that complements her aggressive plan.

Upgrade Path

Prioritize cheap evasion and protection (Whispersilk Cloak, Swiftfoot Boots, Rogue's Passage) plus efficient ramp like Sol Ring and signets to deploy and re-suit her fast. Add interaction-heavy staples (Assassin's Trophy, Toxic Deluge, Heroic Intervention) and recursion to outlast removal. For higher power, lean into commander-damage acceleration with Embercleave-style payoffs unavailable in BG by using doublers like Grafted Wargear and instant-speed protection to guarantee lethal hits.
