3/3, First Strike, Deathtouch for 3??? 5/5
She's amazing even without her bonus ability; which is meaningless for me as I don't run many artifacts.
I think there are only two possible reasons she's not rated 5/5;
1)Specific mana cost; but at only 3cmc it's not a big deal (plus one is green!)
2)Legendary; Running 4 is possible but not necessary.

*Sigh* For the umpteenth time (or so I've seen today anyway), Rings only works on -activated- abilities, not -triggered- abilities.
Glissa's ability is an optional -triggered- ability that triggers whenever an opponent's creature hits the 'yard.

Hey for *** and giggles, throw
Phylactery Lich
Cemetery Reaper
Death Baron
Zombie Master
Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
Glissa the Traitor
Elvish Archdruid
and Elvish Champion
And see if something breaks from sheer Tribe-Hacking before you get to actually use any artifacts ^_^

Her bonus ability is kinda useless as artifact decks have access to better cards and elf decks don't make use of artifacts. Compare it to Loxodon Smiter - even though Smiter is an elephant that can't kill bigger folks as Glissa does, I prefer having that card in my elf deck because its anti-discard and anti-control abilities make it more significant.

A lot of people hating on the power creep. This card isn't that bad imo. It is strong for CMC, but THREE coloured mana symbols, as well as 2 colours in it, in a set that has NO ENEMY COLOUR DUAL LANDS hardly seems broken. There would be a lot of games where you miss it as a 3-drop unless your deck was heavily geared towards that colour combination (as in mostly green with a bit of black).
Her last ability is far from useless. It's both interesting, and strong. If you board wipe when she's in play, you get an artifact from your graveyard for each creature your opponent(s) had. Talk about double the card advantage.
This card is also a really cool general. There's a lot of things you can do with that ability.

Is it just me or does the top of her head look like Mindslaver

I have a single copy, hard to make use of it. I like the idea of retrieving changelings with this however.
