New additions from Dominaria, Battlebond and M19 —June 28, 2018

Majestic Heliopterus out -> Runic Armasaur in: This looks like wizards printed a new commander staple and added the dinosaur creature type on top of it just to spoil us Gishath players. We'll draw a lot of cards off our opponents' fetchlands, Strip Mine and creatures like Sakura-Tribe Elder. It also punishes commanders like Azami, Lady of Scrolls or Meren of Clan Nel Toth (plays a lot of creatures with activated abilities).

I'm still pondering whether I should add Territorial Allosaurus for one of the bigger dinosaurs like Polyraptor or for one of the medium dinosaurs like Chameleon Colossus, Pangosaur or Magmasaur.

Gigantosaurus will not go in because of its restrictive casting cost. It will be just OK when it is revealed by the Gishath trigger, but it will be really bad when it's stranded in hand.

Bountiful Promenade and Spire Garden should actually go in. I just didn't include them because the manabase is already good and I didn't want to spend money on them.
