This is my tournament winning Gitrog monster deck. I'm interested in feedback to give it more edge, unless that feedback involves removing pack rat. I love pack rat. He's a precious good boy.

The primary plan is to assemble my commander and Noose Constrictor, then discard lands to noose constrictor until I hit Dakmor Salvage. This allows me to put any number of cards in my hand, deck, or library. With the help of Lotus Petal I can make infinite mana as well, and this lets me recur my deck and cast infinite Torments until they die, or cast Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and throw a Noose Constrictor at everyone's head. Plan B is recurring Depths-stage for a lot of 20/20s, plan C is Pack Rat, Titania, etc. There's also an Ob Nixilis and Splendid Reclamation in the case that my commander is removed from the plan. Underrealm Lich is bonkers.

My maybe is Vedalken Orrery, which would let me go off at instant speed during my own discard step, which would be neat. Let me know what may come out.
