I currently need to cut cards so if you see any sub-optimal picks, please point them out.

Also if you have any cards that would work well in the deck feel free to suggest them.

Gitrog Primer

Gitrog's first three abilities are self explanatory

• Deathtouch: Shit won't want to block this 6/6
• He lets you drop an extra land per turn
• Then proceeds to take it away

Gitrog's last ability is the consolation prize for losing a land, a consolation prize we're gonna abuse the shit out of. You draw a card.

A few things to keep in mind about the last ability:

• It draws a single card for one land vs ten land therefore any sacrifice X lands are less appealing
• You draw a card no matter who owns the land or where it comes from all that matters is that any land hits the graveyard.

Combo

Who Needs Blue: Dakmor Salvage + The Gitrog Monster + Discard Outlet = Draw as much as you want

(note: you lose 2 cards to dredge every draw)

Who Needs Blue Step-by-Step

Step 1 - get Dakmor Salvage in your grave... somehow

Step 2 - since a land hit the grave you would draw, instead dredge

Step 3 - if dredge hit one or more land draw

Step 4 - You should have Dakmor Salvage back in your hand now discard it

Step 5 - Refer to Step 2

Relentless Ravens: Raven's Crime + The Gitrog Monster = : Target player discards a card you draw a card

Relentless Ravens Step-by-Step

Step 1 - Get Raven's Crime in your grave, how?... Cast it...

Step 2 - Cast Raven's Crime from your grave with Retrace for & discarding a land

Step 3 - Since a land hit a grave draw a card, hopefully a land

Step 4 - Repeat this procces for as long as you have/draw lands
