Geralf makes a 2/2 Zombie Rogue for each spell you cast on your turn after the first. His second ability puts a +1/+1 counter on each Zombie that enters for every other Zombie that entered under your control that turn, so the third token of a turn arrives as a 4/4. The deck runs cheap and free spells, cantrips and artifacts to chain several casts in one turn.
In the recorded games, the deck chained cheap spells to put several growing Zombies down in a single turn. Coat of Arms turned a wide board into lethal attacks. Agatha's Soul Cauldron was a key piece, since every Zombie with a counter picks up the activated abilities of exiled creature cards, opening sacrifice and draw combos. Hidden Strings also appeared for untapping. Well-timed board wipes before the big turn were the clearest way opponents kept it in check.
