This is my dinosaur tribal deck. It used to have a lot more dinos, but I cut a lot to make room for better ramp and removal.

Deck has a minor focus on enrage triggers, but mostly it's just a stompy deck with a decent removal and ramp to support. I picked Gishath, Sun's Avatar over Zacama, Primal Calamity because I wanted an actual tribal deck, not a Naya beast deck

Fun combos are Polyraptor+Forerunner of the Empire or Pyrohemia. Cathars' Crusade and Bellowing Aegisaur just sweeten the pot and make the exponentially increasing raptors even more dangerous. Bear Umbra is there with Aggravated Assault. Both are solid by themselves, but nothing quite like getting infinite combat phases.

I run Chameleon Colossus and Taurean Mauler since they both count as dinos for Gishath, Sun's Avatar trigger, and they are pretty good in their own right. Used to have Mirror Entity, but cut that for Runic Armasaur, because it's a pretty decent draw engine that also a dino, and most of my dinos are 4 power+, making that Mirror Entity less valuable.

Overall, it's a pretty consistent deck with my semi-casual group. The deck's short comings are that curve- dinos are expensive, and the straight number of dinos-27. I've mostly fixed the mana problem with some solid artifacts and Mirari's Wake, but I know I still have a high curve. I would cut Keeper of Progenitus for Mana Reflection if I had another (one I got is in my Riku deck, which has an even higher curve). I would like to have more dinos, but I've taken up most of the good ones, and any more dinos means cuts into protection and removal, which I need to stay alive in big multiplayer games (I'm usually playing with 3-4 opponents).

Suggestions, criticisms, and comments are all welcome!
