Geth, Lord of the Vault

Gameplan

Geth is a mono-black graveyard-control commander: fill opponents' yards (or wait for them to do it), then pay to reanimate their best artifacts and creatures under your control while milling them further. You grind out value every turn, hijacking removal-magnets and big threats, and eventually overwhelm the table with stolen bodies or close with a reanimated bomb.

Key Cards

• Cabal Coffers — Generates the massive black mana needed to repeatedly fuel large X activations.
• Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx — Another mana doubler that lets you reanimate multiple high-value targets in a turn.
• Bojuka Bog — Doubles as graveyard interaction, but note you want opponents' yards full—use selectively against combo decks.
• Liliana, Dreadhorde General — Provides card advantage and removal while you grind, plugging mono-black's draw gap.
• Crypt Incursion — Lifegain and grave control; illustrates the kind of mill/fill synergies black offers Geth.
• Bolas's Citadel — Lets you cast off the top to keep pace, fueling the mana-hungry engine.

Upgrade Path

Lean hard into mana acceleration—add Nirkana Revenant, Crypt Ghast, Magus of the Coffers, and Black Market Connections to enable huge X values. Include self-mill enablers and reanimation backups (Reanimate, Animate Dead, Victimize) so you're not solely dependent on opponents filling their yards, plus targeted grave fillers like Hymn-style discard. Finally, add protection and a faster clock—Sword of Feast and Famine, Whip of Erebos, or Liliana of the Dark Realms—so your stolen value actually converts to wins.
