Deck overview

This deck is a competitive Commander (cEDH) Gitrog Dredge combo build designed to race the table with hyper-efficient mana acceleration, universal low-cost tutoring, and a deterministic Turn 3 win. Led by The Gitrog Monster, the strategy resolves the commander alongside a free discard outlet such as Putrid Imp or Wild Mongrel and Dakmor Salvage. By replacing Gitrog's land-to-graveyard draw trigger with Dakmor's Dredge 2, the deck mills its library while Eldrazi titans Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre loop graveyard cards into the library to generate infinite draw triggers. Once the entire deck is in hand, looping Lotus Petal and rituals produces infinite mana to fuel a lethal Finale of Devastation that grants haste and closes the game in a single turn. Proactive pieces like Collector Ouphe and Opposition Agent slow opponents while Veil of Summer and Sylvan Safekeeper defend the combo.
