Ingenuitive deck

Pioneer forum

I was at a pioneer fnm yesterday. There was a deck I played against that was really cool that I hadn’t seen before. It was a dimir control shell that splashed green for two cards: 4x Spelunking and 4x The Gitrog Monster. The one other thing with the deck was the manabase. It was 4 Evolving Wilds, 4x Terramorphic Expanse, 4x Escape Tunnel, 4x undercity sewers, and a bunch of basics. All of the fetch lands triggered the gitrog monster to get massive card advantage. Another cool interaction was all of the fetches triggering Fatal Push. I went 1-2 against it with Esper greasefang, and it went 3-0 for the tournament. I was wondering if any modern players knew if it would be better in modern, since the fetch lands there are way better.

I've seen people dabble with the Gitrog Monster with Heartless Summoning in modern. It's a lot of value for sure. With Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Tireless Tracker, Tireless Provisioner and Academy Manufactor you can basically play your entire deck if you can make the game last long enough.
