new to cedh, need help with understanding game flow with gitrog
hi! i am very new to cedh, i have little concept of the meta or whatever viable strategies exist, i have made a deck headed by the gitrog monster, and while ive grown to love this deck, i havent played it yet. (mostly due to my friends leaning toward b2/b3 games, which is what i typically play anyways.) ive grown to understand piloting gitrog in my own time, how his loops and combo works, but i feel as though its too slow. i often present wins while goldfishing on turns 4-5-6, but i heard someone talking at the lgs today that there are several decks that try, and can almost in some manner of consistency win on turn 2. while nothing will turn me away from my frog, it does make me concerned as to what i could do for counterplay. i have a typical decklist, with only a few proxies as to not spend a billion dollars. but my question is this much: what does a non-blue deck like gitrog, do to prevent a much faster deck from winning before i get going? from what i know i try and build up to get the frog out asap and then make an attempt to win while something else is going on, but i may also have the wrong intention for the deck. i am mostly confused and want help understanding if, i am just particularly slow with the frog or, if he may just have problems with faster decks
