Scalding Salamander

Creature — Salamander

Whenever Scalding Salamander attacks, you may have it deal 1 damage to each creature without flying defending player controls.

Lands: Take out 2 Mountains, Stone Quarry, Cinder Barrens, and Forsaken Sanctuary and maybe the Guildgates if you want and add in at least one plains, Haven of the Spirit Dragon, any of the life gain dual lands from Tarkir... just use better duals than the strictly-worse guildgates. I have a personal issue with those lands. They insulted "Avatar the Last Airbender" once.

Creatures:

Things to pull: Ancient Hellkite works to slow, requires to much investment, and is too conditional. Forgestoker Dragon cuz it's clunky and slow compared to other things. (A lot of these suggestions will be cutting the worst of duplicate effects). Aegis Angel (above reason)? Wojek Embermage? Paragon of Open Graves cuz you don't have enough black to make its ability work. Scalding Salamander is too conditional. Either Vulshok Sorcerer or Blood Cultist. Crossbow Infantry. Stun Sniper. Painsmith because not enough artifacts.

Artifacts: That Which Was Taken cuz it's also too slow.

I always suggest Olivia Voldaren in a vampire heavy deck as she's my fave. Toss something in to give her Death Touch (I like Retreat to Hagra) or something like Neko-Te and 2 mana goes a long way, plus the ability to steal their dudes (not as important in your creature heavy deck but still). Even without death touch 2 mana pings work great on weenies.

But in a similar vein though off theme a bit, Goblin Sharpshooter and Scalding Salamander are 2 great cards to use against token or horde decks (especially if you can give death touch or use something like Neko-Te.

Maybe Urza's Incubator? Get those low CMC dudes even lower?

And definitely Teferi's Protection

Thanks for your suggestions, Wolfrage76!

You're right, Quicksilver Amulet should make most of my dinos cheaper. I also like the possibility to put them into play during my opponents turn. But for now I will try Selvala's Stampede because I enjoy voting and other multiplayer-related mechanics. @bushido_man96: I'll also try out Elvish Piper at some point, thanks. Her ability is cheaper, but no "haste" like the amulet - we'll see.

Mizzium Mortars does not offer the possibility to trigger my own creatures' enrage abilities, so I think it's not ideal.

Berserkers' Onslaught will likely be included, but I still have to decide which vanilla dinosaur to cut.

I didn't know Scalding Salamander and Neko-Te til now and won't include them in this deck because they seem to be a bit unrelated to my strategy. But I'll keep them in mind for future deck ideas!

Quicksilver Amulet since your creature costs are higher than 4 for the most part.

Breath of Fury to kill, smash, and crush.
Mizzium Mortars to clear the path for your dinosBerserkers' Onslaught to smashy smash!And while not a dino, Scalding Salamander is like a little dino, and it's ability to do 1 point of damage to opponents creatures when it attacks can be disgusting, especially when combined with something that gives death touch, or with Neko-Te.
