Glissa, the Traitor anchors a Golgari artifact-aristocrats deck. It sacrifices artifacts and creatures over and over through altars and sac outlets, turning each death into mana, cards, drain and value. Glissa's deathtouch and first strike make opponents' creatures die in combat and to removal, and each of those deaths returns an artifact from the graveyard to hand, rebuilding the loop of self-recurring artifact creatures, cantrip artifacts and equipment. How it wins: It drains opponents through repeated death and artifact-to-graveyard triggers, and closes games with tutored compact combos such as Gravecrawler plus Pitiless Plunderer looping through Altar of Dementia or Blasting Station, or with Mikaeus-style undying and Walking Ballista loops. Key roles: - Sacrifice outlets and altars: These turn creatures and artifacts into mana, damage, mill or cards, giving every recursive piece something to feed on (Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician). - Artifact recursion engine: Self-returning artifact creatures, recursive artifacts and Glissa's death trigger keep artifacts cycling from graveyard to hand. Each artifact that leaves the graveyard can also spawn Necron tokens (Scrap Trawler, Junk Diver, Imotekh the Stormlord). - Drain payoffs: Every creature death or artifact hitting the graveyard pings opponents, so the churn itself becomes the clock (Blood Artist, Disciple of the Vault, Marionette Apprentice). - Infinite loops: Treasure from deaths fuels a zombie that recasts from the graveyard, and undying and counter-based creatures loop for unlimited damage, mill or drain (Gravecrawler, Pitiless Plunderer, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed). - Card flow from deaths: Sacrificed equipped creatures and cantrip artifacts refill the hand while feeding the engine (Skullclamp, Ichor Wellspring, Chromatic Star). - Tutors and reanimation: Tutors and graveyard setup find combo pieces or cheat big bodies back onto the battlefield (Wishclaw Talisman, Buried Alive, Living Death).
