Whenever I play a TCG, I always make one deck built around frogs. I know The Gitrog Monster has been the most popular Golgari Commander for some time and have had problems understanding what made him so effective, this video has opened my eyes to the insanity that this Commander can bring, thank you so much, Mitch. Dark Heart of the Woods (a cheaper but slower Zuran Orb) is a card that I think should really be considered for a budget Gitrog pilot. It helps survival and helps you draw when you need to.

@nolife874 4 жыл бұрын

I had a omnath deck that I changed to a value frog deck because I wanted to see how well it would do that slowly turned into a cedh deck after I saw how he worked with dakmor. Also little tip if you end your turn with gitrog in play and 8 cards in hand you can discard a land and it make you draw a card putting you back at 8 cards making you have to discard again if the land you discard is dakmor you can dredge it back and if you mill a land you get a extra card. Doing this you can build a perfect hand if you want too and win off of crown being flashed in.

@DarkJusticeMetal 4 жыл бұрын

One of the big turn offs for new players wanting to play the Gitrog Monster is the non deterministic loops the deck does. However, your choice to have Dread and Vigor be the reshufflers is an interesting way around this. Hopefully this will get new and budget players interested in the deck and taking it to the next level. Thank you very much!

@Remdog44 4 жыл бұрын

There is an alternate form of the Gitrog that has been catching my interest for some time. It revolves around sylvan reclamation and a few giant value engines with it. Essentially mill your entire deck and slam roughly 30 or so lands onto the battlefield with one of the following: Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, Alter of the Brood, Rampaging Baloths, the latter of which would need to be helped by Emergence Zone. I especially like Alter of the Brood because you can work it with other cards like Worm Harvest as well. I enjoy working the Gitrog in this way because it is just so explosive.

There's another infinite combo this deck is capable of with just Gitrog and Dakmor Salvage. If you move to cleanup step with Dakmor in hand and Gitrog out, you can discard Dakmor and Dredge it back. Then, the game moves to cleanup again because it won't let you end the turn without discarding down to max hand size. You continuously Dredge until your deck is in the bin!

I think replacing Wayfarers Bauble or something with a Lotus Petal should be a mandatory upgrade. From having piloted the deck a few times, one of the “shortcomings” is that the Skirge Familiar is you’re only source of the infinite mana, and even then it’s only black mana, which doesn’t bode well IMHO when you’re only mass kill in all black mana is Syphon Life. If you’re in a situation in which the discard outlet is out but it’s not skirge familiar, and you’re either tapped out or already played all the lands for the turn, the lotus petal can be cast, cracked, and returned repeatedly to get a source of green mana which can in turn be used to cast Jarad and blow up a wild mongrel, noose constrictor, or oblivion crowned creature and kill everyone.

I made my Gitrog deck also about going infinite, generate a ton of mana and then exanguinate my opponentes. It became boring for me winning in such a narrow and predictable way and made me a target of everybody. Another issue was that it took a lot of game time to execute the combo and it was boring also for the rest of the players. Now my Gitrog is more voltrony centered on Gitrog's Deathtouch (and other deathtouchers in the deck) with cards like Chariot of Victory and Roar of Challenge while at the same time capitalizing on Gitrog's card engine. It isn't competitive, but it's way more enjoyable to play.
