Stitcher Geralf

$0.31

For {2}{U} and a tap, Stitcher Geralf makes each player mill three cards. You exile up to two creature cards milled this way and create a blue Zombie token whose power and toughness equal their total power. With four libraries feeding it, a single activation can turn two fatties into a 10/10 or bigger. The deck runs large creatures to hit itself, untap effects to activate more than once and spells that use the full graveyard.

In the recorded games, Geralf usually built a board of big Zombies that forced opponents to find a sweeper. Illusionist's Bracers copies activated abilities, so each activation made two tokens. Some lists added Dreamscape Artist and Artisan of Kozilek for ramp and recursion. Rapid Hybridization handled the biggest opposing threat. Only nine games were recorded, so take these as early patterns. Grafdigger's Cage hurt the graveyard side of the deck, and board wipes erased the token army in one shot. Geralf himself is fragile, so removal on him stopped the engine.
