Would ouphes be a good fit here? While most creatures from the tribe seem to be hard to pronounce, I think Niall Silvain might be especially comfortable here :)

Have you also considered Ulasht, the Hate Seed, Gnathosaur, Vizzerdrix, Delraich, Xantcha, Sleeper Agent, and Dandan?

Atogatog , while maybe not the most difficult to pronounce card, could also give you all five colors if you ran it as a commander.

Hmmm interesting, so as of right now we have 33 dinosaurs printed. Juuust enough for critical mass in an EDH tribal deck. I will say there are a few omissions that surprised me. I felt pretty confident that Gnathosaur, Grotag Thrasher, and Regal Behemoth would've gotten changed. There were a few others I was hoping for, but knew they were a stretch cough cough Siege Behemoth and Skyshroud War Beast.

That article brings up an interesting point, however. We now know there are dinosaurs on Dominaria, Ixalan, New Phyrexia, Ravnica, and Tarkir (kinda odd with Dragons and all though) meaning we have options to see more in the future.

Alright TyroMaven and brewtzar I added Terra Stomper to the main deck, along with 2 Rampant Growth. I moved Gnathosaur and Explosive Vegetation to the side board and removed Kavu Primarch :)

Hello jtlmtg, glad to see you're still dedicated and working on improving! I've looked through your improved deck and noticed a few things:

You might consider trying to add a little more reliability to your list of instants and sorceries. Many of them are only one- or two-of, which means that the chances of you drawing them when they'll actually matter most is fairly slim.

Still love the theme! Here's a list of lizard cards on Gatherer. Perhaps some more inspiration could lay there?

Explosive Vegetation is great, but it does come out a little late. Perhaps Rampant Growth and/or Cultivate could be good options?

Additionally, while Gnathosaur fits well thematically, it's in all honestly not that good a card for your deck. At 5/4 for 6 mana it's behind the curve, and with only two artifacts you probably won't be using its ability very often. The same can be said with Pygmy Allosaurus. Unless you're running into a lot of people playing swamps, chances are it's just a 2/2 for 3. I'm sure it's hard to find cards that fit thematically for this deck, but if you get the chance cutting those two would probably help somewhat.

You might consider moving Terra Stomper to your mainboard if that works for you thematically. It's a pretty great beatstick for its cost and uncounterable to boot.

That's all I can think of before going to bed. Keep up the good work!

For simplicity reasons I will recommend picking one set that your cards are in and increasing the quantity of them. You don't need to specify different sets for the same card, that goes for the foil too. Oh, I also don't recommend 4 Evolving Winds in a 2 color deck. I do like all the lizards tho. Nice going! Your Gnathosaur is only good if you can sac a artifact but you only have the 2 eggs. There are better 6 drops out that there don'r require sacrificing a permanent. Try Soul of the Harvest

Tonight was Mirrodin Beseiged, and our pack had all the Mirran vs Phyrexian drama we were hoping for.

The underdog Mirrans had their Metalcraft cards like Mirran Mettle and Spiraling Duelist, a great "we really hate Infect" card in Burn the Impure, and the best flavor text of the pack in Gnathosaur. But fun flavor text woouldn't have stood for long against Phyrexians with cards Blightwidow, Phyresis Nested Ghoul, Ichor Wellspring (surprisingly decent at common), and Phyrexian Rager.

Especially if led by our very nice Pick 1 rare:

And we cracked a shiny (but otherwise extremely nasty-looking) Island too!
