I love this deck! Have you made any updates recently, or have any planned?

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I did make one small trial update recently - cutting Guardian of Tazeem for Vantress Gargoyle . It was more of a curve consideration than anything; Guardian competes with Geralf at the 5CC slot, and Gargoyle offers similar stats and a more synergistic ability.

Cool deck!! I love the theme.
Seems like if your deck works then you might end up with a bunch of large creatures without evasion or trample.
This makes me think of Akroma's Memorial , which i probably wouldnt run bc of the cmc. But Turnabout is another useful card to tap down your opponents blockers so you can swing in for the finish, or untap your lands for more mana.
Also i would consider Caged Sun , having a mana doubler can be massively impactful.
Finally Training Grounds would be great. This card used to be way cheaper, now its pretty pricy.
Anyway just some thoughts, cheers and have fun!!!

Appreciate you stopping by and leaving your thoughts!

While you make a fair point about being stuck pounding on the ground, I do have a few ways to clear the road in the deck. Several of the big fish carry strong ETB effects that can sweep away opposing creatures, and it's surprisingly easy to get Wonder into the bin. I've never felt like the deck was wanting for additional ways to punch through.

I can see mana doublers being powerful, but they tend to draw a lot of table hate. It's been my experience that things like Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun are just lategame rituals a lot of the time, and while that's not necessarily bad, I don't feel like this deck is well-tuned to make the most of that.

I would absolutely play a Training Grounds in this deck, but I have had a bear of a time tracking one down, and always seem to forget about it when I'm shopping for Commander upgrades online. If I got one, I would definitely revisit some of my small utility creatures, and try to work in a couple more with activated abilities.

This deck has fun flavor, been building decks around stories lately myself. That deck description made me lol but man some girls dig this aesthetic and probably find this creative and attractive.

Hey man, if this decklist gets you a date, I wanna hear about it! Haha

Spin a good enough story to tell as you show them it and it could work. Might dig the passion and creativity you put into the hobby. But I'll let you know if it works, thats if you dont mind me stealing the list and weaving my own tale to go with it lol. My recent story brew was a Garth token copy deck to get many black lotus and added golos to be the narrator/visitor to the vale but now hes banned and replaced with worldfire because im angry and own one lol

Also I think Bruvac might be a good add, trying to figure out flavor/story reasoning but helps catch more creatures with geralfs mill

Bruvac the Grandiloquent

Bruvac's okay, but Geralf can only grab two creatures max, regardless of how many cards are milled. Sure it lowers the chance of a miss, but there's enough library manipulation going on where it almost never happens anyway.

Fair, I noticed the deck manipulation when playtesting a couple hands against one of my decks.

May I suggest a Fishing Pole ?

Oh man, Fishing Pole is such a flavor home run. Card itself is pretty weak, though...
