This is a first look at The Gitrog Monster.Basically the idea is to mill your library down do just Blightsteel and Worldspine worm. When you do that you win the game.

You mill your library using one of the discarders (Putrid Imp, Wild Mongrel, Zombie infestation, or Skirge Familiar), the Toad, and a dredge card. If the dredge card puts a land in the graveyard, and the 5 and 6 ones almost always do, you can respond to the Toad's trigger and discard the dredger again. Dakmor Salvage ALWAYS triggers the Toad and as such is the best dredger.

As soon as you have no library you need to get out Skirge Familiar if you don't already have him. You can do this if you have 5 mana, with Worm Harvest, or if you have already have 3 nonToad creatures on the board by using Dread Return. Once you do that you generate infinite mana with the Familiar, Dakmor and the Toad, and win that turn off of Syphon Life.

I know a lot of the cards I am playing are non idea, especially the ramp and lands, but this deck as it is goldfishes a win consistently before turn 7 (the turn after the Toad comes out) which is more than fast enough for my play group.

But I believe I can get a turn or two faster if I run the fast mana artifacts, better tutors, and better ramp. I will do some testing with better cards soon.

I'm running some backup wincons like Titania and Mortal Combat to give myself some range as well as the Haakon Nameless Inversion combo but I am not too attached to those. I suspect many of my games will just be won with Wild Mongrol beats.
