[V4] Thalia & the Gitrog Monster

Format: Commander

Commander: Thalia and The Gitrog Monster

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Thalia and The Gitrog Monster is a landfall-stax engine that taxes opponents' creatures and nonbasic lands, grants an extra land drop, and turns every attack into card advantage. The deck's primary win is an infinite drain loop: Samwise Gamgee creates Food as Cauldron Familiar repeatedly enters from the graveyard via a sacrifice outlet, pinging each opponent. Backup paths include Natural Order or Protean Hulk to shortcut the same loop, and landfall token swarms from Field of the Dead, Emeria Angel, and Felidar Retreat. The commander is not part of any combo but accelerates landfall and digs to the combo; there is no hidden commander, though Sephiroth can serve as a secondary drain payoff if transformed.
