Legendary Creature — Human Warlock
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.)
“Crime payoff token generator. Build interactive control, spawn undead army.”
Gisa, the Hellraiser is a token generator that rewards you for playing interactive Magic. Her core gameplan is simple: commit crimes (target opponents or their stuff) to spawn Zombie Rogues, then attack with a growing army of menacing undead. She slots perfectly into a Dimir shells with black's removal and blue's interaction, letting you sculpt the game while your creatures multiply. By turn 6–7 you'll have a lethal board of tokens with +1/+1 anthem effects.
The beauty of Gisa is that she incentivizes the kind of gameplay you're already doing—casting targeted discard, removal, and graveyard interaction—while turning it into a token engine. You're not sacrificing tempo to go wide; you're just getting free creatures from playing normally. Pair her with cheap blue cantrips that target, black removal spells, and ways to fill your graveyard (like self-mill or flashback creatures), and you'll generate value every single turn. The menace bonus makes your tokens genuinely threatening, so you're not just going for a twenty-token blowout—each Zombie Rogue is nasty in combat.

Skip expensive blue staples like Force of Will; use cheaper interaction like Counterspell, Archmage's Charm, or tempo cantrips. Reanimator slots are easily replaced with cards like Unearth and Dregscalp Amalgam.
