Ever since she was first revealed, I've been itching to build a commander deck around Glissa, the Traitor. I love to make really general-based decks, so for the first go-around I've decided to try to 'combo off' with baubles and use my removal as pure card advantage. The plan is to blow a lot of artifacts drawing cards, then cast wrath effects as 30 for 1s as well as gaining value from other people trading dudes. Without further ado, the list:
I don't think you need that many cheap artifact fodder. I'd cut some of the weaker ones like Astrolabe.
Also, I suggest Voyager Staff. Makes Glissa very difficult to kill.
After testing a little bit, I think you're right about cutting the the weaker cantrips. On the question of staff, I don't have much of a problem recasting Glissa because of the Coffers engine, but it might still be worthwhile to dodge tuck effects. I'll try it out when I find another free slot.

I'm not a huge fan of hard locks, but I'll definitely stick Forbidden Orchard in, thanks for bringing it up!
I have a new list in the first post. Thanks for the comments, I'd love to hear more suggestions!
