Skyshroud War Beast

Creature — Beast

Trample

As Skyshroud War Beast enters the battlefield, choose an opponent.

Skyshroud War Beast's power and toughness are each equal to the number of nonbasic lands the chosen player controls.

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.

Don't forget about errated dinosaurs that are coming which will up the available creature count. Not that many of them are that powerful, but there are a few likely candidates to be errated that I would snap put into my tribal dino-EDH deck like Magmasaur, Fungusaur, Skyshroud War Beast, and Regal Behemoth to name a few.

Also lets hope the real Huatli is much better than what ever that PW deck version is...

clayperce, I have already picked up a Fungusaur, Skyshroud War Beast, and Imperiosaur in anticipation :)

Has WoTC come out and listed which cards are going to be errata'd to the dinosaur subtype yet? Allosaurus Rider and Deathmist Raptor are likely candidates. Possibly Skyshroud War Beast as well. Have they made an official list yet though?

So I have bad news. When I was looking at your list I saw Skyshroud War Beast and thought, "sweet Baby Jesus this thing is the bomb!" however when you look at the gatherer the errata text says "As Skyshroud War Beast enters the battlefield, choose an opponent." which means its P/T is only calculated when on the battlefield. :( Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. In addition to trample you could add in some deathtouch to make sure your damage goes through.

Or you could add in swampwalk with Filth and put more land tutors to snag your Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Cards like:

All of the above get you a 'land card' so you can get your Urborg or Bojuka Bog or Treetop Village or whatever you need at the moment.
