The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride is not that commander.
But the Gitrog has a simple message: rideanddie.
So get the buffet ready, it’s time to ride!
Many of these drawbacks aren’t an issue if the creature is going to be sacrificed almost immediately.
Hopefully it likes salad!
Skullclamp is a staple for any deck that sacrifices lots of creatures.

Heroic Intervention is a green staple because itprotects all of your creatures from both targeted removal and mass destruction.
Instants shouldn’t be your main source of protection, though.
Silver Shroud Costume, from Fallout, is another excellent addition.
Both are good, but if you only have room for one, include Mithril Coat.
But big creatures are expensive!
Another great example is Phyrexian Soulgorger, an 8/8 Phyrexian Construct that only costs three generic mana.

For three mana, that’s a bargain!
Finally,don’t overlook big vanilla creatures, like the overwhelming Yargle and Multani.
With 18 power, it’s a wonder that it only costs six mana.
Better yet, once you control six lands,it replicates exponentially.
Before long, your opponents will be buried under a swarm of Scute Swarms.
Finally, don’t overlook Nissa of Shadowed Boughs.
Deck Tech
Blackblade Reforged is an incredible piece of equipment for The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride.
Sacrificing creatures each turn can become a boon with the right effects in play.
Rancor allows you to have an inexpensive, consistent power buff on one of your creatures.
Spelunking draws a card to replace itself, then keeps your lands coming into play untapped afterward.
Finally, don’t underestimate double strike.
There are only a few Equipments that provide double strike, butFireshrieker is the best by a significant margin.
This build is pretty general, so you’re able to modify it to fit your preferred playstyle.
