My take on Frog Daddy. It's based on the goodies found in several other lists. Land base is still in progress. I plan on updating it as I acquire cards. Still a work in progress but I thought I'd share it to get feedback as I know there are plenty of other Gitrog players out there.

Goals:

Win the game with the Froggiest of Frogbois.

How it works:

The idea of the deck is to create an infinite loop with Gitrog's draw trigger for if a land enters the graveyard. Your biggest tool will be Dakmor Salvage. The idea is to use one of the discard outlets below to get Dakmor Salvage in to the graveyard and choosing to dredge 2 in order to return it to your hand as a replacement for the draw. At some point another land will enter the graveyard, causing you to draw a card. You continue doing this infinitely with shuffle triggers from the Eldrazi as well as the occasional trigger from Gaea's Blessing. This is the part where it gets tricky and it depends on the state of the game. If you haven't played your second land on your turn and lack black mana you will at some point play a swamp in order to obtain black. If you are out of land drops then ideal play is to cast Lotus Petal to generate the black mana you need for your ramp spells (e.g. Dark Ritual and Cabal Ritual). You will cast Dark Ritual to net 2 mana total, allowing you to recast it the next time you get it without worry. Using this loop you will eventually obtain infinite black mana allowing you to cast Praetor's Grasp infinitely to take your opponents' entire deck, Ebony Charm to drain them, or Torment of Hailfire to make them sacrifice their entire board and lose life.

You will have several tools at your disposal to help you achieve this goal. Sylvan Safekeeper will be your protector of the frog and best friend. Squandered Resources is one of your best value pieces in the list as it provides mana as well as card draw with Gitrog in play. Necropotence and Sylvan Library are ways to get you what you need quicker, with Plunge in to Darkness, Tainted Pact, and Ad Nauseum as an instant speed nuclear option if you need to win immediately. Peer Into the Abyss may seem like a mana sink but it is economically the best option that you have when it comes to getting answers.

Note: Ad Nauseum is safer as it allows you to keep all the cards that you reveal just in case you manage to run out of ways to shuffle your graveyard. While Plunge is nice when it comes to life economy, you only get to keep the 1 card so it should be used to win early.

Discard Outlets:

Putrid Imp - Nice little guy doesn't do much other than allow you to discard though.

Wild Mongrel - Works as an alternative win condition if you need to turn sideways.

Noose Constrictor - Has reach and can also go sideways if needed.

Oblivion Crown - Instant speed way to win as it has flash, feels good to win in response to someone trying to start their combo.

Skirge Familiar - My preferred method as it generates black mana as well as enables the combo, some will disagree as the mana cost is high. A lot of folks will play Chalice of the Void at 1 or 2 to prevent the other discard outlets if they know a frog player is at the table; this catches them off guard.

Win conditions are as follows if Gitrog is in play and Dakmor Salvage is in hand:

Mana ramp: Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Skirge Familiar

Sorcery speed: Torment of Hailfire, Praetor's Grasp, discard outlet (See list above)

Instant Speed: Oblivion Crown, Ebony Charm
