Dakmor Salvage + The Gitrog Monster

Overview

If Dakmor Salvage is in your graveyard you may use its dredge ability to replace a draw with milling two cards and returning Dakmor Salvage to your hand per ; any land cards milled into your graveyard that way will cause The Gitrog Monster’s triggered ability to trigger (but if one or more lands are put into your graveyard at the same time it only triggers once) per Ruling [2025-01-24].

Step 1

You reach a point where you would draw a card (for example your draw step) and Dakmor Salvage is in your graveyard, so its dredge replacement ability is available per .

Step 2

You choose to apply Dakmor Salvage’s dredge 2 to replace the draw; instead of drawing you mill the top two cards of your library into your graveyard and return Dakmor Salvage from your graveyard to your hand as part of that replacement per and .

Step 3

Any land cards among those two milled cards are put into your graveyard at that time; The Gitrog Monster’s triggered ability sees land cards being put into your graveyard and triggers. If both milled cards are lands (or more lands are put into your graveyard simultaneously by the same event), The Gitrog Monster triggers only once per Ruling [2025-01-24].

Step 4

The original draw does not happen because it was replaced by dredge per ; instead you will draw cards only if The Gitrog Monster’s triggered ability (or some other effect) later resolves and instructs you to draw.

Step 5

Dakmor Salvage is now in your hand and, being a land, can be played as a land this turn (it is not cast) per . If The Gitrog Monster is still on the battlefield, its 'you may play an additional land' ability also applies, letting you play an extra land that turn.

Resolution

During a draw (for example your draw step), you may choose to apply Dakmor Salvage’s dredge ability to replace that draw by milling two cards and returning Dakmor Salvage from your graveyard to your hand per . Any land cards put into your graveyard as part of that milling will cause The Gitrog Monster’s triggered ability to trigger; if multiple land cards are put into your graveyard at the same time, The Gitrog Monster triggers only once per Ruling [2025-01-24]. If you have multiple cards with dredge, you cannot have more than one dredge ability replace the same single draw per Ruling [2024-01-12].
