Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Gisa and Geralf are a sibling duo that turns your graveyard into a second hand. The plan is straightforward: mill cards to stock your graveyard with Zombie creatures, then cast them for free using your commanders' activated ability. You're essentially getting repeatable card advantage while filling your graveyard with threats. The deck wins by assembling a zombie army and beating down, often with evasion or lord effects to push through for commander damage.

You'll want plenty of mill effects to fill the graveyard early—both self-mill (like Glimpse the Unthinkable or Stitcher's Supplier) and mill that hits opponents. Load the deck with cheap Zombie creatures that have value when cast from the graveyard (like Diregraf Ghoul or Stitched Zombie). Since you're recurring threats every turn, you don't need as many creatures overall. Focus on lords and effects that pump your Zombies, and include some control elements to stabilize while your engine gets going.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive dual lands—basic Island and Swamp work fine early. Replace pricey mill spells like Glimpse the Unthinkable with cheaper options like Satyr Wayfinder and Stitcher's Supplier.
