Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Zombie Elf
At the beginning of combat on your turn, choose one — • Incubate 2 twice. (To incubate 2, create an Incubator token with two +1/+1 counters on it and "{2}: Transform this token." It transforms into a 0/0 Phyrexian artifact creature.) • Transform all Incubator tokens you control. • Phyrexians you control gain first strike and deathtouch until end of turn.
“Phyrexian token swarm with incubate tutoring and aristocrat payoffs.”
Glissa, Herald of Predation is all about building an army of Phyrexian tokens while leveraging incubate mechanics and sacrifice synergies. Your gameplan revolves around tutoring for Incubator tokens at the start of combat, then transforming them into hasty Phyrexian creatures that attack immediately. Since you're generating tokens on every combat step, you'll naturally populate the board with disposable threats that pressure opponents while fueling aristocrat strategies like sacrifice outlets, death triggers, and persist creatures.
The beauty of Glissa is flexibility—you can either race with a growing swarm of Phyrexians, or pivot into a grindy sacrifice deck where each token death triggers cards like Viscera Seer, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Blood Artist. The deathtouch anthem mode lets you trade favorably in combat, while the first strike ensures your tokens connect before blocks resolve. You're essentially playing midrange tokens that rewards going wide and punishes blocking, making combat math heavily skewed in your favor.

Skip pricey incubate payoffs; lean on free sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Ashnod's Altar, and budget reanimation like Reassembling Skeleton instead of premium recursion.
