Commander: The Gitrog Monster

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Gitrog Monster is the engine, not a support piece: it turns every fetchland, Strip Mine, and Zuran Orb sacrifice into a card, plus an extra land drop each turn. The list is a Dakmor Salvage dredge deck built around that engine. There is no hidden commander; Skirge Familiar, Six, and recursion pieces are supports, while Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre is the reset button and heavy payoff rather than a separate plan. The goal is a quick Gitrog cast, followed by churning the library and graveyard through cheap discard outlets until the deck can produce a massive mana/card loop and close with a hasty Ulamog or a game-winning attack line.
