Gisa, the Hellraiser
Ward—{2}, Pay 2 life. Skeletons and Zombies you control get +1/+1 and have menace. Whenever you commit a crime, create two tapped 2/2 blue and black Zombie Rogue creature tokens. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Targeting opponents, anything they control, and/or cards in their graveyards is a crime.)
How Gisa decks play in EDH
Gisa, the Hellraiser is a mono-black commander costing 3BB, and its legendary creature - human warlock line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Built-in evasion means damage gets through reliably, so effects that scale that damage are worth more than extra bodies. The cards below are the ones Gisa, the Hellraiser decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
