Hello this is my fully optimized Combo Gitrog Deck. This deck was inspired by the leptis and Razzliox.

The following primer is going to be broken up into two main categories, Beginners and Experts. The reason for this is because i have seen tons of Gitrog monster primers out there and all of them are fairly complicated for beginners while some are extremely dumb-ed down and offer nothing for the more experienced players. I want to offer up an alternative where I break down the complicated stuff for new players while creating a strategy guide for those competitive players looking for some higher level game play.

Why Play the Deck?

You Will Enjoy This Deck If: Show

- You enjoy a deck that rewards your piloting skill. This build of TGM is more difficult to play than any other deck Ive spent a significant amount of time with, and the deck is actually pretty bad until you have a decent amount of experience with it. Between complicated Doomsday lines, all-in risky plays where you might just draw the combo like Rain of Filth, and convoluted dredge chains, things get complicated quickly.- You enjoy wonky combos. Our actual kill-con is very silly, but in my opinion is still elegant and the most compact way to play the deck.- You think that your commander should be an integral part of the deck. Not only is The Gitrog Monster part of our only win-condition, it's also our most powerful engine for drawing cards and ramping. This deck leans hard on its commander.- Your meta is full of midrange decks that will try and out-value you. When not disrupted, this deck will be ending games on turns three to five.

You Might Not Enjoy This Deck if: Show

- You are new to the format, or you are unwilling to put in the time to learn to play a deck properly. Again, the deck takes practice.- You want a straight, stable line to victory. Many times, the best play is to risk it, when you have only a 70% chance of winning. If you're a conservative player, this deck will challenge your intuitions.- You often play against tax effects, gravehate, and hatebears. These effects will be the bane of your existence.- You don't enjoy explaining things to people who have never seen this combo. Our combo can get quite complicated when we are pushed for resources, and especially when Skirge Familiar has been exiled from the deck.- Your playgroup doesn't allow proxies and you don't want to spend a lot of cash. Unfortunately, there is a huge power level difference between this deck with vs without Bazaar of Baghdad. Maxing out on fetchlands is also important, and you will want access to all the fast mana like Mox Diamond, Grim Monolith, and Lion's Eye Diamond.
