My take on The Gitrog Monster. Thalia and Gitrog are probably stronger these days since you get to include white, but I've had the stuff to build this sitting around for a while, so there was no reason not to throw it together.

There are a lot of ways that this deck could go, and rather than focus on the mandatory sack of lands, I decided to lean into landfall instead and let the frog be the draw engine and constant threat so commander damage is an option. Mostly, the deck is going to end up going wide off of landfall triggers and killing people that way, although there are enough things that will hamstring people that it's likely that the frog will kill them before they can do much.
