I'm working on a Glissa the Traitor decklist that is built around doing two things:
1. Getting a big advantage out of my general choice
2. Not actually needing my general to power out a win, which in G/B isn't hard.
Glissa seemed like an interesting choice because G/B is heavily synergistic, but for actual glissa based combos my brain is sort of farting out right now and I need to get the deck at least to rough draft form for tonight, so any advice on what combos I can run would help. So far all I have is:
Isn't "Unknown graveyard to hand creature recursion" just Glissa herself? "Sac to Kill Effect" can be Attrition. Your infinite turn combo is going to have to wait until no one wants to pay life, because you can't use Boseiju to cast a spell that costs BBBB.
Obvious synergies with Glissa (that you likely already have) are Thornbite Staff and Viridian Longbow. Other than that, I'd run Nihil Spellbomb for sure. I realize these aren't combos so much as synergies, but they're pretty powerful synergies. You might also check out Savra (who might be a good inclusion, depending on your creature base) lists for non-general specific GB combos.

Some newer cards that work decent if you include the sac altars/etc are Marionette Master to start the drain game and Underhanded Designs as early drain and/or a doom blade on a stick.
With Glissa I have an idea I want to eventually try that is storm based. Basically I'd fill my yard with artifacts that cycle/cantrip then drop a board wipe (get maybe like 8-10 artifacts to hand from grave). Cast them the same turn then win with something like aetherflux reservoir.
If storm is not an option I'd have other ways to win as well such as mindslaver lock, etc.

Eternal Witness + Phyrexian Tower + Genesis + Temporal Extortion + Boseijuu, Who Shelters All = Infinite Turns (I think)
Glissa + Unspecified Grave Pact/Sac to Kill Effect + Memnite + Unknown graveyard to hand creature recursion = repeatable creature kill... maybe?
Glissa + Vedalken Orerry + Executioner's Capsule = instant speed terrors
EDIT: just found Glissa/Orchard/Slaver and Witness/Clamp/Unearth
... and that's about it. I'll be going through the glissa lists in the database for ideas, but any inspiration or advice would be great, thanks

You're going to have a pretty rough time casting Temporal Extortion off of Boseiju, who Shelters All. Try Wound Reflection instead.
switch with Necropede to just nuke the board.

Can't use the mana from boseijuu.. still a good way to knock people's life in half. I prefer just recurring Exsanguinate over and over
Glissa, the Traitor + Grave Pact + Memnite + Spawning Pit / Ashnod's Altar / Phyrexian Altar / Carrion Feeder = wipe the board + side effects of your outlet.
Those work too.
