Smaller claims of God are often but not always easier to defend. (lemmy.ca)

We say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence but I am betting you could create ordinary claims about the supernatural that require extraordinary evidence.

Example: the deist god could make a four sided triangle.

I don't think the statement makes sense. I'm not sure I understand it. Your example makes a claim about a deist god, that would be supernatural.While the number of sides on a triangle is just a definition, its just a way for people to communicate. We could have named squares as three sided objects and triangles as four sided.
