Goal here is to saddle The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride with a high power creature, draw lots of cards and put lots of lands onto the battlefield, then go face once we generate an overwhelming board presence.

The ideal line is probably to ramp on turn 2, play a good sacrificial creature (3 or 4 drop) on turn 3, then play Gitrog on turn 4 and immediately sac the creature for value. I only expect to saddle the Gitrog once, which should be enough to bootstrap me up to 8-9 mana and allow me to begin deploying the second wave.

Breakdown:

45 lands (still working on which lands in particular)
10 two mana ramp spells to ensure we land Gitrog on turn 4
9 removal spells
3 misc value pieces
14 first wave 3-4 drop creatures that are excellent sacrifice fodder with high power to maximize value from the Gitrog
Some fraction of the remaining 15 for the second wave: beefy 5-7 mana cards that swing me into the late game, either with their effects or with their high power combined with the Gitrog's ability
Some fraction of the remaining 15 for the third wave: this is our top end, gigantic X spells and the biggest creatures a budget deck can play that will close out the game
