Gisa, the Hellraiser Gisa, the Hellraiser reads like a commander for midrange graveyard lists. At {3}{B}{B} and a four four body she brings a static boost to Skeletons and Zombies you control, granting them both +1/+1 and menace and tightening your board presence. Her Ward ability demands a resource to remove her which buys a turn and forces tougher answers; play her into a board that already benefits from creature buffs and she starts turning trades in your favor.
Mechanically she leans into crime synergies from Outlaws of Thunder Junction. Each time you commit a crime she spits out two tapped 2/2 blue and black Zombie Rogue tokens, which is repeatable once each turn. That token generation alongside the passive anthem makes Gisa useful in attrition matchups and in decks that recur creatures from the graveyard. From a lore angle she fits the set as an instigator who loves chaos and leaves a trail of rogues in her wake.
