Alpha Tyrranax
Creature — Beast
DonJon on Vanilla Tribal

Duly noted. If you have any creature recommendations I’d be happy to hear them. Did my best to find creatures with the brst Power to CMC ratio, but I may have missed some. Also, some are on here just because I like the art or flavor, like Alpha Tyrranax. May part with the bear sub theme if I find enough decent replacements.

Chasmolinker, that is why counterspells are my favorite.
LeaPlath, maybe Demon's point is that the power creep of creatures is pretty obvious, especially at higher CMC. From Craw Wurm to Alpha Tyrranax to Colossal Dreadmaw is a pretty big jump, and this new guy is just the latest variation on a theme. Granted, that's because creatures have kinda needed to get better, and stats alone won't make the Greatwurm good, but it is the latest example of an obvious trend in power level.

Consider the dinosaurs that were errata'd to be dinos:
Old Fogey (depending how causal you are)
and finally Tyrranax
Jimmy_Chinchila on Taxonomy (Creature Type) Fail

Perhaps it's just my background in taxonomy, but I find it rather annoying that Wizards would add the creature type Trilobite for Shore Keeper yet continue to label things like Skittering Heartstopper as an Insect when it is clearly not. Insects have 6 legs. It is a Centipede. In fact, it's no more an insect than a Crab is (it just happens to be also a terrestrial arthropod), yet they have their own creature type. To me a trilobite is more of a crab than a centipede is an insect. All I can think is that Vorapede and other past centipedes would have to be "adjusted", but that doesn't seem like such a big deal. They retro-changed Alpha Tyrranax with the addition of Dinosaur so why the heck are they still calling a centipede an insect?

Thanks Antwaan33, I am currently running Pygmy Allosaurus as I believe that to be the best due to Swampwalk (but that is specific playgroup) and of course it is the original dinosaur. Putrid Raptor is black. Alpha Tyrranax is a vanilla creature and I want cards that impact the board state more at its cost. Deathmist Raptor does not synergize with this deck. Imperiosaur doesn't do much for the deck and will be pretty hard to cast. Tyrranax's ability doesn't do much for the deck, especially at its cmc. Dromosaur and Pangosaur are quite frankly terrible. Ridgetop Raptor, Ripscale Predator, and Shivan Raptor are decent but not standout spectacular. That leaves: Frenetic Raptor, which is fairly niche; Magmasaur, which fits quite well in my deck Enrage Enabled but not great in this list as here I am not focousing on Enrage that much; and Fungusaur, which I am currently looking for a place for.

We got the list of Creatures that are being errata'd to Dinosaur (source):
TheVectornaut on Elder Dinosaur Highlander *RIX UPDATE*

Then there are all the Naya beasts that look kind of like they'd be dinosaurs: Godsire, Woolly Thoctar, Hundroog, Paleoloth, Krosan Groundshaker, and so on.

No, Alpha Tyrranax is safe because it was not dealt damage by Pharika's Chosen. All that happens is that the attack itself was interrupted due to a blocker, which means damage from the attack cannot go through unless Alpha Tyrranax had Trample.
