Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Bide your time - Swing for the throat\n\nGisela is a tricky commander to play, her mana cost is high and becomes even more expensive if she's removed and the commander tax piles on. I tried to make a deck where she isn't necessary for the win, but she can come in strategically to swing at the right time. Enchant the field for double damage, goad enemies and let them attack each other while you build your board. Alternatively, bring in brash taunter and stuffy doll and burn your opponents to the ground.\n"}]}
