So I've always used Geth, Lord of the Vault in various zombie tribal builds but it's rare I get to cast him and seems he's just so awesome, why not build around him instead...

Basic idea:
- Make mana
- Mill
- Steal
- Evil laugh

Tried to avoid too much discard and infinite loops, because no one wants to be that guy...

Any suggestions on cuts / additions most welcome.

I also run {Geth, lord of the vault}. I love killing opponents with their own bombs.  I would add a few cards, {necropotence}, {venser's journal}, {damnation}, {demonic tutor}. I've also like {petrified field} since coffers normally gets blown up. I run {torpor orb} and since you don't run {gray merchant of asphodel} that could be a good fit. {shred memory} seems like a nonbo for your deck and if just for transmute I would say run tutors over it. {vampiric tutor} also very good. Think you don't have enough creatures for {gate to phyrexia} to be effective. For catch all removal id suggest {karn liberated} and {steel hellkite}. I can't bear to run {mesmeric orb} in Geth, it's just too powerful. Looks fun though! Best of luck.

Liking the Vensers journal necropotence combo there that's going in! Karn and damnation are out of price range unfortunately. Yeah shred memory is in there due to lack of other tutors in my stash. Maybe I'll just fork out for the demonic tutor and be done with it. Why do you include Torpor Orb? Kind of hoping to take advantage of opponents ETB creatures

Because things like {acidic slime} are really good against you. Plus it just shuts down lots of strategies like {craterhoof behemoth} and {avenger of zendikar}. And things like {Farhaven elf} early game so decks can't get ahead. I also run {ivory tower} since it's just a worse {venser's journal} when you have {reliquary tower}. I also forgot {bubbling muck}, that card is just silly.
