What it does

If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead.

At the beginning of your upkeep, put all creature cards exiled with Gisa onto the battlefield under your control. They gain decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)

Rulings

7 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. "Decayed" means "This creature can't block" and "When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat."

  • 2021-09-24

    Because creatures controlled by opponents aren't dying due to Gisa's replacement effect, any "when [this creature] dies" triggered abilities those creatures have won't trigger.

  • 2021-09-24

    Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.

  • 2021-09-24

    If a creature your opponent controls would die and more than one effect would cause it to be exiled, that opponent chooses which one to apply. If the creature is exiled due to some other replacement effect, it will not be returned to the battlefield with Gisa.

  • 2021-09-24

    Gisa does not grant haste to the creatures that are returned to the battlefield, so you normally won't be able to attack with them the turn they are returned.

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.

Every version of Gisa, Glorious Resurrector

6 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Gisa, Glorious Resurrector — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
