Geralf's Drownyard

Commander / EDH

MrF1692


Geralf and Gisa are my favorite characters from my favorite plane, but I find their individual cards more fun to build around than them working together. This is built around a blue graveyard theme, so zombies that can come back from the yard, flash back/jump start, artifacts, and big creatures that care about the yard/get stitched together very well. Untapping also happens! Stitching is fun!

This is not a combo deck, but I like having emergency win buttons if the game goes on too long or if I am going to lose. One combo is a clone of Mirror-Mad Phantasm and Nexus of Fate . If you have enough mana and Geralf out you can mill the entire table, even if they are running troublesome eldrazi titans (you can stitch them before they shuffle) The untap creatures with Illusionist's Bracers can win as well if Geralf is out, but that is mainly there to just activate Geralf a bunch. (minion can do it alone, fatestitcher and vizier need each other)

Things I am considering: Nephalia Moondrakes a derpy version of Wonder that can also stitch in a pinch

Madness spells: with jump start and the graveyard skaabs it is pretty easy to activate (original build had Jace, Vryn's Prodigy   but he came out for another deck, replaced with the Scribe of the Mindful for that sweet counter spell value. He would probably come back if I added madness)

God-Pharaoh's Gift probably needs to be a bit more creature heavy first

More Sphinx? I have a bit of sphinx tribal going on because a few care about graveyards or fill them, and all are good stitch targets. Cycling creatures are also up for consideration due to similar reasons but sphinx are probably better. Curator of Mysteries is a very big consideration, Chancellor of the Spires is a close second.

Deserts just for Scavenging Grounds activations? Hinder and Memory Lapse are potential counters because they are wonderful when Geralf is out
