Strategy
Geth, Thane of Contracts is a graveyard-focused reanimator commander that turns your creatures into disposable fuel. The -1/-1 effect punishes your opponents' creatures while your own creatures either don't mind the debuff or actively want to die. Your game plan revolves around filling your graveyard with creatures, then using Geth's activated ability to reanimate them repeatedly—the exile clause means you can keep reusing the same creatures without worry.
You'll want creatures with strong death triggers (like Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat) and sacrifice outlets to turn your board into a grinding engine. Cards that mill you or discard creatures into the yard feed Geth's reanimation, while tokens and small disposable dudes let you generate value through repeated sacrifice loops. The win usually comes from aristocrats effects draining opponents, or simply grinding out value until you've built an unstoppable board.
