The Gitrog Monster is my favorite card in magic and I have decided to post my deck for it. It is kind of a complicated combo but it's a really fun deck.

Drawing your library- You need to have The Gitrog Monster on the battlefield and any discard outlet like Noose Constrictor. Then, discard Dakmor Salvage and instead of the draw trigger, dredge 2 and return it to your hand. If any of the cards that you dredge away are lands, do not let the draw triggers from The Gitrog Monster resolve. In response to the draw triggers, keep dredging away your library until you hit an effect similar to that of Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, shuffle your graveyard into your library, then resolve the draw triggers. Do this until you have your entire library in your hand.

Winning the game- After you have your library in your hand, discard a land to get a draw trigger. In response to this trigger, discard one of your Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre effects and shuffle the land and Ulamog into your library, still do not let the draw trigger resolve and discard Dakmor Salvage and resolve one draw trigger to dredge, then shuffle your land and Ulamog into your library, cast an effect like Dark Ritual,Lotus Petal, or Cabal Ritual and get the mana off of it. Let it shuffle into your library and resolve the triggers to draw it. Repeat. You now have infinite mana! Use this to cast Death Cultist and sacrifice it to ping someone for 1, let it shuffle and just continue the infinite combo from before.
