What Stitcher Geralf actually does
Read off the card by the same engine the Forge and Analyzer use — this is the mechanical classification, not a summary.

What a Stitcher Geralf deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 12× Exiles from your own library and lets you play it — the card flow of an exile-matters commander
- 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
