I highly recommend Invocation of Saint Traft. You can put that on Traft, himself, and double his ability. Combo with Strionic Resonator and you pump three 4/4 flyers. That's not bad, in my book.
I think this would be an awesome Voltron deck, really focusing around Traft, himself. Cool deck and I hope you like my suggestions.
If not, no biggie!

Hey there, I have been playing Geist duel EDH for a very, very long time by now (around 3 years) and led it to a great success at many tournaments. Below you can find the list I have been using lately, maybe it will provide you some inspiration. Wish you good luck!
This Geist is Definitely not Saint

Im not sure that Rhystic Study is good enough in duel commander. Ramp is also not nearly as good, For a while there people were running a lot of 2 drop rocks like signets but they have fallen out of most metas, so maybe replacing those with even more powerful draw would be better, Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time are must haves

QuietMyth, you make a good point about Rhystic Study and some of the higher CMC Ramp spells. I will be making some changes accordingly. Thanks for the suggestion!

Also I want to see Hot Soup in this deck, because it's hilarious.

Can't speak for the owner for this deck, but here in Europe it is something completely different from the classic commander supported by WotC. In duel commander, we follow the rules from the website duel commander, you can often find it under the name "French commander". The banlist is the biggest difference, apart from that, players only start with 30 life and previously some rules concerning the Commander itself were different (e.g. the rule that you can choose to put your commander into your command zone instead into you library was introduced there much earlier than it was in the commander supported by WotC).
It has it's own metagame, top tier decks and is becoming widely popular here in Europe as a few tournaments with amazing 200 attendants were held. To get and idea how that metagame looks, you might want to check out this site.

I think Maze of Ith would fit nicely. It's a land drop and can either protect St.T when he's attacking or keep a voltron at bay, since you're short on blockers. Gift of Immortality and Nim Deathmantle could help bring Traft back without recating him and Pemmin's Aura could work in here as well. There's always Moonsilver Spear that I love doubling up with Traft.
I was wondering how effective Tallowisp is. I can only find 3 triggers to make that pop off - one being Traft if you've the wisp out first. Is there something more consistent?

Distortion Strike, Slip Through Space, Stifle, Invisibility, and Invocation of Saint Traft (because why not put it on Geist) are some suggestions
