My current list for The Gitrog Monster. I'll try to update this as I make swaps.

The main goal of the deck is to turbo out your froggy friend and vomit out as much mana as you can to try to get ahead. Between the amount of lands you get in play quickly and all of the cards you can draw from your commander's ability, you should have no trouble taking over a game. From there you can win from many different angles. You can play like a super charged midrange deck that's just way ahead of curve, or you can use any number of combos and pseudo-combos.

This deck has the ability to combo out with Dakmor Salvage + Skirge Familiar to make infinite black mana and dredge/draw through your whole deck. Simply use Skirge Familiar's ability and discard Dakmor Salvage, The Gitrog Monster will trigger off the land hitting your graveyard, and then you replace that draw with the dredge on Dakmor Salvage to return it to your hand, mill 2 cards, and repeat. While you do that, any time you hit a land off of the dredge you'll trigger your commander an additional time and draw extra cards. Then when you dredge either Gaea's Blessing or Kozilek, Butcher of Truth you can shuffle your graveyard back into your deck and this lets you continue to use Skirge Familiar to make more mana. After that you can cast your choice of X mana spell to end the game. I prefer Torment of Hailfire for style points, but something like Exsanguinate gets the job done nice and clean.

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment!
