Pyrohemia is amazing with Gisela. It shocks your opponents and each of their dudes for R and deals no damage to you or your dudes if you have Gisela out.
"Some of the other guys dared me to go out, but I knew it weren't no ordinary giant giga-blasting blaze of unending flames that would scorch the whole world."

For every one damage you would deal their creatures, they take four.
For every four damage they would deal your creatures, you take one - and anything less than four deals you nothing.
What do you guys think of the Sunforger suite? I'm not finding enough room for great suggestions like Scourge. I think I might cut Sunforger and some of the cards that I included due to its presence (Fight to the Death, etc)
I was hoping someone would post a list like this, thank you. I'll be testing a lot of these so I can get a better decklist up.
I've been running a Tariel deck with that theme for a few weeks now. Black for Pestilence effects and vault of the archangel, necropotence etc. Baisicly Gain lots of life -> Inferno everyone to ashes. it's quite fun, there are some creatures that really are broken with lifelink (thrashing rumpus ,bloodfier colossus.
I'm considring switching too gisela but I'd really hate to see black go because it let's you do something with large amounts of life...
Giving this general double strike is nice, so I second Avatar of Slaughter. Just really fits with the tactics of this deck. Just like a combo like Repercussion + Blasphemous Act (+Furnace of Rath). You could use the new Angel discount of Herald of War(AVR) to get your general out a bit faster.
I would recommend true conviction over avatar of slaughter - can be tutored for, costs 2 mana less, is an enchantment to fetch with academy rector, is much harder to remove, doesn't help your opponents, and grants lifelink.
Playing an 8 cmc with no ETB ability in colors with little card draw and ramp while your general already is 7 mana just doesn't seem worth it.
Manabarbs/pyrohemia, into the web of war and fervor are nice with gisela as well. Hero of oxid ridge / bladehold aren't too shabby either.
Only problem I have with Manabarbs is if Gisela is killed. Then you're in the same shape as everyone else, and then you have to pay 9 life to get her back.

Gisela getting killed makes a lot of cards less exciting. Avatar of Slaughter, Furnace of Rath, and Manabarbs all hurt you a lot without Gisela out.
I've already been building a Gisela deck since i saw the spoiler. I've got most of the deck built in a binder ready for sleeving. I can honestly say that as much i like Furnace of Rath, i will be excluding it for Rage Reflection instead (which i would like to suggest for the OP's list, btw).

In my soon to be Gisela deck I run Hellkite Charger/Aggravated Assault + Sword of Feast and Famine as a finisher.

I'd probably also consider running as many Earthquake effects as possible. Fault Line, Molten Disaster, Rolling Earthquake. Pyrohemia is insane.

I like the idea of dragon breath! Definitely an outlet to give haste to your general.
Your right but half rounded up is what she prevents
And dragon breath seems great here

Thanks for the clarification!
No problem, first time I read her I made the same mistake
Also Scourge of Kher Ridges is fat but seems pretty good for clearing the board of your opponents creatures

True Conviction > Rage Reflection.
Also, I would recommend Gratuitous Violence an another one-sided doubler instead of Furnace of Rath. (Even though it only works for creatures)
The OP already has Violence, Conviction and the Furnace in the list. I'm suggesting dropping the Furnace for Rage Reflection.

Miraculous Recoveryis arguable better than your other resurrection spells. It costs more. But it's an instant and gives the creature a boost.
The Red and White Akromas are arguably better than Razia.
I really like Orim's Thunder, and it has some synergy with your general.
This deck needs itself some Bonfire of the Damned and Slayer's Stronghold when those cards come out.
