...aaand here goes the "character from a short story" hype.
She was indeed introduced in s short story, and she got a card in Commander, and later a card in Eldritch Moon, but with her brother Geralf, not individual.
Gisa, Glorious Resurrector
2BB
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead.
At the beginning of your upkeep, put all creature cards exiled with Gisa, Glorious Resurrector onto the battlefield under your control. They gain decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at the end of combat.)
4/4

This Gisa card reminds me of Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet, except no Lifelink but you get to steal their creatures (for a short time) instead of making 2/2 Zombies. The gravy train is stealing Wurmcoil Engine or maybe a fellow resurrector you don't need to swing with like Lurrus of the Dream-Den.
Geralf fans, don't worry: his new card is in Crimson Vow.
That would be cool!

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
This is great! Wonderful flavor, potentially very powerful, and both those arts really capture her joy in doing what she does. My one misgiving is that I wish she also made the resurrected creatures zombies.
I do think it's weird that they make these powerful effects and staple them to a huge body, people would still play this if it was a 2/3
Its WotC logic ... you have to make good cards appeal to all players, and a 4 mana 4/4 is what people expect to get. 3 Thoughness just means it dies to all red removal in relevant formats, so it has to have 4.
And a 3/4 for 4 , well thats just unpleasing for the eye.
Powercreep in the latest two sets goes down tremendously, as just 4 sets ago, this would have deathtouch, lifelink and give all zombies +1/+1 ... now we get this (and its still a pretty bad card for competitive formats, as all it does is turn a casual jimmies deck against themselves, if your opponent does not play creatures, well, it does nothing, while obvisiously in any format where the opponent is playing creatures out of necessity, this can just dominate a game very quickly and produces insanely stupid games in limited if you dont have removal, you can really attack or block anymore).
Absolutely love this one for a commander and just in general. The only arguments I have against it is that they have the keyword "decayed" but not the creature type "zombie."
Interesting. So when you sac, it still goes back to their grave
I'm surprised the resurrected don't gain the zombie creature type
Feel like a flavor fail when there was an easy opportunity to add that

Anyway easy as pie combo
selfless spirit (or other effects similar) + damnation = 6 mana rise of the dark realms (after gisa played on another turn ofcoarse)
And to go more diabolic if this works if the decayed sac goes on the stack homeward path in response to all them you do rise and repeat.
With her brother.

both arts are really solid and depict that joyous macabre insanity she's known for
she's going to be best friends with savra, queen of the golgari not to mention the huge array of golgari commanders that are basically removal.dec
the only real complaint i have is that she's way way way stronger in the 99 of any edh build than at the helm, but that's a minor thing.
That would be cool!
Oh wow, that is a great idea. Makes me want to make an EDH deck around her and the path.

Do the creatures you stole regain Decayed after Dress Down leaves the battlefield?
I'm surprised the resurrected don't gain the zombie creature type

The handbag in the art is very clever

a little late but I talked with other user they agree with me that the eldritch moon gisa with geralf does not make her eligible for that teaser
This could be a motivational poster: Find something you love and you won't work a day in your life.
Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
