Suggested order of combos:

  1. Draw your Library
  2. Generate infinite draw triggers
  3. Generate infinite Mana
  4. Strip opponent's hands
  5. Wipe their boards
  6. Deal deadly damage

Draw your Library:

  1. Discard Dakmor Salvage
  2. Resolve the draw trigger, choosing to dredge Dakmor Salvage
  3. If you now put 1 or 2 lands in the graveyard you can draw 1 or 2 cards.
  4. If you drawed both Eldrazi Titans, discard one, when your library is empty, to shuffle your graveyard back in
  5. Repeat this until you have drawed your whole Library
Note: You need to hold your whole Library in your hand to go over to the next steps. You should put Emergence Zone out now.

Generate infinite draw triggers:

  1. Discard a Land and an Eldrazi Titan, so both get shuffled in your Library
  2. Discard Dakmor Salvage
  3. Resolve the draw trigger, choosing to dredge Dakmor Salvage
  4. Now the Land and the Eldrazi Titan go into the graveyard, generating one draw trigger and get shuffled back into the Library.
  5. Repeat this process infinite times
Note: You need to generate infinite draw triggers to go on to the next steps.

Generate infinite Mana:

  1. Cast Dark Ritual or Lotus Petal
  2. Discard an Eldrazi Titan to shuffle both back into the Library
  3. Draw both back
  4. Repeat this infinite times
Note: You should crack deck:Emergence Zone after this step to gain instant speed on all your spells.

Recast and tap a Land infinite times:

  1. Discard a Land (not the one you want to loop) and an Eldrazi Titan to shuffle both into the Library
  2. Cast Crop Rotation and sacrifice a Land
  3. Discard the Land you want to loop
  4. Discard the other Eldrazi Titan to shuffle your graveyard into your Library
  5. You now got both Eldrazi Titans, 2 unirellevant Lands and the Land you want to loop in the Library.
  6. Resolve the Crop Rotation trigger to put the land, you want to loop, onto the battlefield
  7. Tap that Land
  8. Resolve 4 draw triggers to draw your Library back
  9. Discard an Eldrazi Titan to shuffle your graveyard into your Library
  10. Draw the Eldrazi Titan and Crop Rotation back
  11. Repeat this infinite times
Note: You can do this to generate infinite mana without using Dark Ritual or Lotus Petal. You can also cheat Emergence Zone into play with this combo.

Strip opponent's hands:

  1. Cast Bog Down (don't pay the kicker cost)
  2. Discard an Eldrazi Titan to shuffle both cards into the Library
  3. Draw both back
  4. Repeat this until your opponents discarded all their cards

Wipe opponent's boards:

  1. Cast Assassin's Trophy (or another Removal)
  2. Discard an Eldrazi Titan to shuffle both cards into your library
  3. Draw both back
  4. Repeat this until your opponents only got lands on their board

Deal deadly damage:

  1. Discard card:Deahtrite Shaman
  2. Cast Finale of Devastation for X=10, to reanimate Deathrite Shaman with Haste
  3. Discard an instant or sorcery
  4. Exile it with Deathrite Shaman to deal 2 damage to every opponent
  5. Remove Deathrite Shaman with one of your Removals
  6. Discard an Eldrazi Titan to shuffle Deathrite Shaman, the Removal, Finale of Devastation and the Eldrazi Titan back into your Library.
  7. Draw all cards back
  8. Repeat this until you win the game
    9. Note: In this Deck are enough Spells to deal 56 damage to every opponent. If one of them has more life wait until they all drop under 56 before you start your combo.
Wait until you have enough mana to cast the Gitrog Monster before you use your Tutors. Then you prioritise on Dakmor Salvage. Remember that you can tutor it in the graveyard, too. If you got Dakmor Salvage on your hand and The Gitrog Monster on the Battlefield, focus on a discard outlet, if you don't have one already. If you got Dakmor Salvage, a discard outlet and another Tutor you should go for Autumn's Veil or Veil of Summer (Veil of Summer is slightly better so it should be your first choice), however it isn't worth it to wait for one of the two before you go off. If you don't use one of them you should be careful that you don't run into a counterspell or that your The Gitrog Monster don't get destroyed before you go off. If you got most (or all) components of your combo on your hand and can already generate a lot of mana on demand you should wait with casting The Gitrog Monster and cast your discard outlet and The Gitrog Monster in the same turn in which you go off. (Only do this if there shouldn't be Counterspells in the hands of your opponents. If you are'nt sure it can be good to cast The Gitrog Monster one round before you start pulling your Combo off, to bait possible counterspells and removal.) Never put Dakmor Salvage into your graveyard or cast your discard outlet in any other turn then the one you want to go off in. If you do this you can become the archenemy pretty fast (if they know this archetype) and you don't want that your opponent's start to keep Removal and Counterspells for you. If you want to win with this deck you need to surprise them at the moment when they can't do anathing against you.

This Deck is based on The Gitfrog by forgottenkane. I ripped away all cards that are'nt very usefull in normal EDH and cards that are simply too expensive for a non-competetive deck (e.g.Card:Bazaar of Baghdad). I exchanged them with cards that are better in a casual game (like Mass Removal). I also completely redid the manabase to be more Budget friendly. Click here to see a list of all the changes I made.

-$20 or more

Here is a List of all cards that cost more than 20$ and are'nt really necessary. (But they make thedeck a lot stronger and removing them will move the deck more in the casual direction.) They are ordered by importance. Number 1 would I remove 1st and number 9 last. So if you would like to pay only 500$ (Prices may vary in the future) just remove Verdant Catacombs and Damnation. For that you could add a cheaper land and a cheap mass removal.
  1. Verdant Catacombs
  2. Damnation
  3. Toxic Deluge
  4. Worldly Tutor
  5. Ad Nauseam
  6. Diabolic Intent
  7. Sylvan Library
  8. Demonic Tutor
  9. Vampiric Tutor

-$20 and less

This cards are between $5 and $20 and should be removed if you want to lower the Price by just a little bit (e.g. $525 to $500) or you already removed all the cards from the "big" list. As in the list above remove the lower numbers first and the higher numbers last. (Most of these cards are'nt extremely powerfull so you won't feel the loss that much.)
  1. Scorched Ruins
  2. Nurturing Peatland
  3. Twilight Mire
  4. Overgrown Tomb
  5. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
  6. Arcane Signet
  7. Burgeoning
  8. Force of Vigor
  9. Green Sun's Zenith
    10. Before you remove the cards from below remove the first 4 from the -$20 or more list!
  10. Birds of Paradise
  11. Life from the Loam
  12. Entomb
  13. Lotus Petal

    14. Result

    If you Exchange all the cards I mentioned you can lower the Price to under $200. But I can't guarantee that some other decks that are build with such a low budget in mind won't perform better. So if you want a budget deck consider to buy one of the decks you can find under "Links". I would only recommend to use this "Budget Options" if you want to play this deck but are only willing to pay something around $200 less the price of the full version.
This is'nt a competetive deck, neither a casual deck. It is a downgraded cEDH deck with some improvements for casual games but it has still the potential to go off in turn 2 (altough turn 5-7 is more likely). It can be frustrating for some playgroups to lose turn 5 every game to an infinite Combo and because of that avoid such a deck in groups where it is too strong. But this deck shouldn't be played in cEDH, too. For that it is downgraded too much and the more casual choices (like mass removal) Prevent it from being competetive. So you should play this deck only in an EDH Environment against other decks with higher powerlevels (and not against beginners). So if you i.e. Play against a Derevi Stax, an Atraxa superfriends and Narset big spells decks which are all at least 60% optimized, this might be the deck for you. But it isn't the right choice to play it against 2 upgraded precons and a $50 budget merfolk deck. Know the powerlevel of your opponents before you bring a downtuned cEDH deck!
