Play a lot of lands with a lot of utility. Draw a lot of cards. Win.

COMMANDER

The Gitrog Monster: Key concepts in order: Sacrifice lands. Draw a card when lands are put in the grave yard. Play an extra land each turn. The point is to play as many lands that have ways to get to and from the yard and do things when they come into play or get sacrificed. Utility, utility, utility.

LANDS

Cycling, Panorama and Fetch lands allow us to throw a land in the yard and draw a card. That's basically what they're there for. If you want to throw the untapped fetch lands in, go ahead. I didn't put them in here because they're too expensive.

Archaeological Dig, Bog Wreckage, Crystal Vein, Ebon Stronghold, Havenwood Battleground, Timberland Ruins don't replace themselves, but you end up getting a card and some mana for the sacrifice.

Scorched Ruins, Lotus Vale, Glacial Chasm, and Heart of Yavimaya, Lake of the Dead let you pitch other lands to the graveyard for a land with upsides, letting you draw more cards.

Various other lands with various other upsides to sacrificing them.

6 Basics to give you something to fetch.

Land Recursion

Tilling Treefolk, Titania, Protector of Argoth, Creeping Renaissance, Life from the Loam, Splendid Reclamation, and Verdant Confluence all bring lands from your graveyard to your hand or play. Ramunap Excavator is Crucible of Worlds on a stick and a fraction of the cost.
