Just curious, if The Gitrog Monster is on the field, and I discard Dakmor Salvage at the end of turn, triggering Gitrog, and I dredge Dakmor...would I have to discard back to seven cards?
If you discard Dakmor Salvage as your cleanup step begins and The Gitrog Monster's last ability triggers as a result, then after the current cleanup step, another cleanup step will happen when you will have to discard excess cards again (C.R. 514.3a, 514.1). If you discard a land card this way again, that ability will trigger again, so that another cleanup step will be added on.
Yes you would. In the cleanup step you discard Dakmor Salvage which triggers Gitrog Monster's ability. Normally players don't receive priority in the cleanup step unless there is a triggered ability to be put on the stack or a state based action to perform. In this case it's the trigger. If a player receives priority in the cleanup step an additional cleanup step will take place after. So if you continue to discard and dredge it will keep adding additional cleanup steps, and each time you'd need to discard down to your maximum hand size (normally 7).
You can continue to do this as many times as you want in order to functionally mill any number of cards which is a multiple of 2, unless something else interrupts the process.
