Certain things will be needed for a commander of this magnitude. Ramp, Protection and obviously, lots of dinos. There are a few things Dinos are trying to do with Enrage and a small lifegain subtheme... however, what they do best is simply be huge. I'm expecting this deck to function a lot like a Dragon deck but with a more flexible curve of creatures... so I guess like beasts really.

Top Deck Manipulation

Top deck manipulation is also incredibly helpful here so a tutor like Congregation at Dawn is way better than it is in most decks. Lifecrafter's Bestiary and Mirri's Guile are also keyed in on setting up a massive trigger from Gishath.

Artifact Package

The artifact package is focused on reducing the cost of our dinos (Urza's Incubator, Quicksilver Amulet, Rhonas's Monument) or simply adding mana. Though we do have a few protection options in the staple Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots.

Rhonas's Monument should play well in this deck. Half of my creatures (currently) identify as green for the cost reduction and it adds a semi-permanent way to give our beefy lizards trample which many are sorely lacking.

Enrage

Dinosaurs innate ability to get angry is only (currently) present on 7 cards. Of which I am only running 4. As such I am hesitant to build the deck with the ability in mind. Cards like Pyrohemia would be great if I were but I think simply adding some decent ways to make our creatures fight like Ulvenwald Tracker and Domri Rade etc. will allow us to trigger our own creatures when needed.

Life Gain Elements

Lifegain seems to be a minor sub-theme to Dinosaurs. Verdant Sun's Avatar, Priest of the Wakening Sun, Ravenous Daggertooth, and even Huatli, Warrior Poet all gain at least a little life. I haven't decided if this is worth fleshing out further than it appears by chance, but I do appreciate having a little life gain present since the deck will likely take some time to get rolling. The life gain elements will help us get us back to even if we take the early heat.

The sideboard is EVERY DINOSAUR card currently available I am not running at the moment. They are there for reference and comparison purposes.

How are you building the Gigantosaurus?

Any fun ideas outside of "I'M PLAYING DINOSAURS!" Which is pretty much what i'm doing :)

On the chopping block: Belligerent Brontodon, Sun-Crowned Hunters and a few others. I want to try them out but I think I need to cut one creature at 6 cmc and one at 7cmc to smooth things out. Brontodon is a nonbo with as many cards as it benefits, and sun crowned hunter is simply the weakest dino at 6 unless I am focusing on enrage. I am also shying away from straight Vanilla or French Vanilla creatures like Ravenous Daggertooth. If I like the way Enrage plays or decide the lifegain is beneficial I can swap him and SCH back in.
