Deck Description

A EDH deck that uses poison counters. Seriously, if everyone starts with 40 life, just use the old rule saying they lose if they get 10 poison counters.

Deck discussion for Gilissa's Command

I love EDH and totally thought this deck would work. You've even included a few cards that make it look more reliable than mine. However, there's an innate problem with infect in EDH multiplayer I discovered, which lies in the multiplayer aspect. The moment you hit a player, likely that player will turn their sites on you since they're worried you're gonna stick them with more poison counters, since likely you're the only one using them.

Which is the other issue.

If you're going up against 3 opponents in a 4-way ffa and one opponent is down to 2HP from the other two, how do you intend to finish him off? It's difficult when all you're throwing is poison counters. In essence, you can't rely upon the other players for any help. By choosing infect/poisoncounters, you've immediately isolated yourself from the rest of the group, which is multiplayer is not where you want to be.

Good luck though, I really like the deck idea and you put it together well. Glissa is badass and loads of fun :) If you have a moment, care to comment on my own EDH decks? Any criticism is of course welcome.
