The Gitrog Chad by Colaw

Format: Commander

Commander: The Gitrog Monster

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This The Gitrog Monster deck is a land-sacrifice and recursion engine that turns every land entering the graveyard into card advantage. The core loop uses sacrifice outlets like Zuran Orb, Squandered Resources, and Scapeshift to dump lands into the graveyard, drawing cards off the commander, then recur them with Crucible of Worlds, Ramunap Excavator, or Splendid Reclamation to create explosive mana and landfall triggers. The deck wins through several independent lines: massive X-spells (Exsanguinate, Torment of Hailfire), a 20/20 indestructible Marit Lage token from Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage, or overwhelming combat creatures like Cultivator Colossus and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar. The Gitrog Monster provides the primary draw engine, while Demonic Tutor and Worldly Tutor ensure key pieces are found.
