Hi guys. I'm super new at making decks (and also playing) and I'm trying to put together a Glissa TL. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do yet because I'm still learning the game. I was thinking about going with a self mill type, deathtouch. Any input would be helpful. I don't have a lot of money for high priced cards and the cards that are semi high priced in the deck I already have. I'm not playing in tournaments, just fun, so if a card is illegal in a tournament, it's okay to still suggest it to me. And any input on better strategies, or just general knowledge is also welcome. I'm trying to learn what I can. My friends that play are way better than me and sometimes I get confused when we play because of abilities activating.
Artifact (14)
1x Bow of Nylea
1x Cranial Plating
1x Crawlspace
1x Expedition Map
1x Gorgon's Head
1x Grinding Station
1x Loxodon Warhammer
1x Nihil Spellbomb
1x Sculpting Steel
1x Swiftfoot Boots
1x Thornbite Staff
1x Tormod's Crypt
1x Viridian Longbow
1x Welding Jar
I've gone against my fair share of Geist of Saint Thraft decks with good results (noting that the Metagame here in the Philippines involves all swords, so we get to use reclamation sage more often.)
By the way, City of Solitude is just there so if you put this enchantment in during a tapped out moment from control (or tempo like GST decks of course), opponents can't play counters during your turn (where it matters most). this deck is completely mana saturated and all X cost cards are welcome. This is also, as you may see, a budget deck and it may fit your taste. not a self mill though

The Goal of the deck is to either go stompy with Ezuri, Renegade Leader, or if its just to hard to get through, whittle enough life make life loss feasible (you can do that with just a Priest of Titania and Wirewood Lodge for about 7-8 mana total at the minimum, with the left over carried by Ashnod's Altar. Life loss cards include Exsanguinate and Damnable Pact (Which you can also use to draw for yourself. The ramp and dorks also help in pulling off Ezuri, Renegade Leader's ability more than once. Theres also a Three-Card infinite Mana Combo between a leve 5 Joraga Treespeaker, Quillspike and Devoted Druid
