The goal here is to dredge yourself silly until turn 4, where you should easily be able to cast Unburial Rites to get back The Gitrog Monster. If you have a fetch in hand, you can mill yourself out on the spot. Otherwise, you can wait until your next upkeep. Everytime a land is put into your graveyard, you draw. If you draw, you can dredge instead. So basically each dredge triggers another draw, which allows you to dredge some more, until your deck is completely empty.

The hardest part here is figuring out a good win condition. Right now I'm between Laboratory Maniac and Seismic Assault. Lab Man requires a fourth color, while Seismic Assault requires some mana base tweaking to hit triple red on turn 3. Additionally, neither of these pieces are as easy to find as Gitrog + Rites, since we can very easily dredge our way to both pieces (seriously, playtest it. You can cast rites to recur Gitrog on turn four very frequently). If you guys can think of another wincon that would work better, please let me know!
