Spitting Spider

Creature — Spider

Reach (This creature can block creatures with flying.)

Sacrifice a land: Spitting Spider deals 1 damage to each creature with flying.

I also only suggested Spitting Spider as a means to reset your lands whilst also removing flyers. Because you can sac them at instant speed you could board wipe at any point and still have creatures to block with for the next opponent. I guess it is conditional on the combo being out.

Thanks for the comment, SmirkyDog593. =)

For Mortarpod to work, it seems we'd need to also add haste. In order to equip it to a land, it would have to be a creature, in order to sacrifice it, it needs to be a creature, and in order for our commander to bring it back, the land has to be a creature. So, if we have a continuous effect that turns our lands into creatures to do all that, then come back into play with summoning sickness. Thus, we are unable to tap the new lands for mana to continue to equip Mortarpod and going near-infinite enough to kill everybody. Unless, of course, we initiate an infinite mana effect prior to do doing so, so there's a lot more moving pieces to get that concept working. Unless I'm wrong, lol.

Spitting Spider honestly doesn't excite me for the cost, and it absolutely requires our basic commander/enchantment combo in play in order for it to work. That's not necessarily bad, but if I were that concerned about flyers I'd rather the removal not be as conditional. I think I'd prefer a good old fashioned Hurricane or maybe Arashi, the Sky Asunder that's the same cost as the spider. Silklash Spider is pretty efficient, too.

I do like your suggestion of Perilous Forays, thank you!

I also like Nemata, Grove Guardian, but the cost is high. I know we can get a ton of mana, but it's at the expense of maybe not doing something else. I'll have to think on it, but I like it!

Evolutionary Leap is pretty great, yeah! Thanks!

Altar of Dementia was already in the Maybe pile, so I agree. ;)

I cannot express how much I LOVE this concept. As soon as I played the first test and got the infinite combo I was estatic about it. I do have some suggestions.

Mortarpod would be good if you had a way to sack one of the two lands tapped to equip it. Insta kill all players. Sustenance is another Insta kill method as well.

Spitting Spider is a good flying removal creature Perilous Forays will let you draw out every forest in your deck.

Nemata, Grove Guardian creates saporlings and works in conjunction with the treefolks and Life and Limb cards.

Evolutionary Leap lets you get all your creature cards out if you wanted.

I would also suggest you put in Altar of Dementia as another way to win.

If it were me, I would take out the Ulvenwald Hydra. If it had trample then it might’ve deserved a spot but all it takes is a chump blocker to stop him. If you’re wanting a way to take out flyers then check out this card: Spitting Spider. This will take out most flyers by sacking 5-6 lands, which you can get back from the yard anyways.

From Titania:

Havenwood Battleground/ Hickory Woodlot ...ramp/sac lands! There are more of these (I only had the mono green).

Crystal Vein/ Petrified Field/ Ghost Quarter/ Scorched Ruins ...must play?

Mirrorpool ...clone land?

Natural Order ...(green creature) tutor.

Zuran Orb/ Sustenance/ Spitting Spider ...sac outlets.

Constant Mists ...fog/sac?

Realms Uncharted ...tutor!

Honor_BasquiatWell you have a few options. More hate could always be used IE: Broken Bond Reclamation Sage or you could run some big beefy beaters like Rampaging Baloths Kamahl, Fist of Krosa or Thunderfoot Baloth or you could run more land recursion like say Tilling Treefolk or Cartographer or more land sack outlets like Spitting Spider or Squirrel Wrangler I hope this helps! Thank you for loving my primer! This deck is kind of my baby I've been working on it for 2 years now!

Hi, I have a Gitrog deck of my own. What I think would improve your deck:
Mesmeric Orb It's a bit pricey but amazing with gitrog as the milling is done one card at a time.
Gaea's Blessing If you happen to mill it you'll shuffle Graveyard with Library, this is a the third layer of protection to avoid milling myself to death which happened to me several times before with previous builds of this deck.
Key to the City Discard a card to smash your opponent with Gitrog or your biggest creature, was it a land? the draw a card, and another on your upkeep. This card has become a staple of many of my decks.
Roar of Challenge kill up to six creatures of an opponent thanks to Gitrog's Deathtouch.
Constant Mists I almos feel bad using this card with Gitrog... almost!
Spitting Spider and Grotesque Hybrid to have some dissuade flyers of coming my way and another land sac outlet and discard outlet.
Stinkweed Imp another great flyer dissuader with high Dredge, I don't run it anymore on this deck because discarding it over and over to Skirge Familiar and finishing the game with Exsanguinate wasn't my playstyle, so I took most of the dredge and discard outlets.
Herald of Leshrac Hi, can I borrow your land for a while... ups, it broke!

You can check the rest of my deck here Deadly Gitrog
