Gitrog synergies...... let's see what we can find. i based this deck off of a draft i did a while ago, that worked beautifully so I'm just trying to expand on the idea i had then.

The Creatures Show

The Gitrog Monster: The lynchpin of this deck, with the potential for insane card advantage, plus a 6/6 deathtouch that can eat fliers with Aim High

Groundskeeper: With this down, the gitrog's appetite can be kept in check and still able to play the bigger cards.

Deathcap Cultivator: Extra mana to hopefully get The Gitrog Monster down a turn earlier, and if later in the game we have delirium another deathtouch blocker.

Nissa, Vastwood Seer  : Helps us to get more mana in hand and provides a body to block, if we flip into planeswalker we have further card advantage and a potential win con with her ultimate.

Ulvenwald Hydra: Gets us another land on the board (which will unvariably be Rogue's Passage if it isn't down), which will allow us to attack unblocked with a potentially huge body.

Morkrut Necropod: 7/7 with menace- nice! Plus we've turned it's downside into a card draw engine.

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet I'm running black, so i'm running Kalitas

Sylvan Advocate early game blocker to give us opportunity to build an advantageous board state, and late game boosts to Hissing Quagmire and itself

Enchantments Show

Weirding Wood: A lot of lands are going to go to the graveyard, if we don't draw into ways to get them back we want the few lands we have doing double duty, plus a clue token we can sac to draw some better cards.

Crawling Sensation: The second ability, means that once we have the gitrog monster down, we can get a 1/1 chump blocker on the board, or potential sacrifices for Morkrut Necropod or Westvale Abbey  

Instants Show

Pulse of Murasa gets us a land back into our hand to feed the frog and gives us 6 life which can be vital to survive to our endgame.

Sorceries Show

Seasons Past: Incredibly powerful card, that allows us to re-use our cards, and goes to the bottom of our library, the Dark Petition + Seasons Past combo is amazing allowing us to cycle through our spells endlessly

Dark Petition: Finds an answer to our situation and can provide us with mana to use what we've searched for.

Fork in the Road: With the gitrog monster down it's more card draw, and an extra land to play.

Ever After: The creature version of seasons past, as we only run one of each big creature we want to get them back when there in the graveyard.

Languish: Helps to stabilise the board when facing lots of small creatures to help preserve our life total

The mana base Show

Westvale Abbey  : If you flip it and it goes unanswered, you've probably won the game.Rogue's passage: A one of in the deck, ready to be searched up by Ulvenwald Hydra to push through damage.

Hissing Quagmire: provides an extra deathtouch creature when we need it, and if it blocks and dies we get to draw a card if we have The Gitrog Monster out

11x Forest and 8x Swamp should be adequate with all the card draw and mana acceleration we have.
