Gitrog Combo
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on March 24, 2016, 7:06 p.m. by Mahrtey
So i feel like Gitrog is really fast in cycling through your deck which naturally leads to combo what would you run as combo elements in b/g? I know a few, like Exquisite Blood+Sanguine Bond, Triskelion+Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Avenger of Zendikar+Craterhoof Behemoth, but which more are there, which are the best and which are the best budget options?thx for your help in advance :)

If you want some ideas. It's still heavily in the works, mind you.

Honestly, I've been looking at Life from the Loam + Skirge Familiar myself. Not too many people are looking at discard with the Gitgud Frog, but his 4th ability triggers from anywhere, including hand. Chunk a land, dredge back Life, return 3 lands, discard them and any lands you get, get back Life...then cast Exsanguinate or Morality Shift to do the time warp again.

Yeah i was planning to do it discard based aswell cycle lands are mustincludes i just couldnt find good discard aside from skirge familiar, sadly stuff where you discard more than one card cant be used well to cycle through the deck

There are some nice option for Gitrog -- I've found the Spellshapers work since they discard to activate their abilities; Greenseeker and Undertaker for example.
The best one though? Ridged Kusite -- Gives Gitrog first strike and, if you discard a land, draws you a card.
There's also the dreams -- Insidious Dreams and Nostalgic Dreams for tutor and recursion.
A Toad-Shaped Rock is my building draft, if anyone fancies a look or has any suggestions.

JA14732 use Dakmor Salvage with Skirge Familiar instead. Generates infinite black mana, which can then pumped into an Exsanguinate. I'd run Life from the Loam too, but it's not necessary with Dakmor Salvage. Use the Original eldrazi Titans (excluding Emrakul of course) to ensure you never run out of cards to dredge.

It does not produce infinite mana unless you have Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre or whole graveyard shuffle effects like that.
You cannot dredge an empty library, which is why Dakmor Salvage's dredge 2 ability says "put exactly two cards from the library into the graveyard."

Mindcrank + Bloodchief Ascension . Also using all the various cycling lands will help. Unfortunately, Crucible of Worlds is no longer budget but would be amazing. Titania, Protector of Argoth may also be good with Hypnotoad because of reasons. ALL HAIL HYPNOTOAD!
