Said on The Gitrog gets …...

Funny you should ask! I playtested this deck a few times in matches online and concluded it was too explosive to build in paper. I planned the curve to consistently execute the line I described in the primer, and succeeded in that task. In doing so, I would be left with a tapped Gitrog on turn 4, a million cards in hand, and a million lands in play — quickly painting a massive target on my head. The deck could not convert the mana/card advantage into a win fast enough from that point, and would become the table’s pariah. Ultimately, I’ll probably never make this deck in paper as I don’t like playing the archenemy.

Hope your build works better! It seems like a really fun commander, especially if you go for a more incremental approach than mine.
