3-1 16/02/2018 —Feb. 16, 2018
went 3-1 with this list again! I'll put my ranking up when i remember my dci password to find out my placing haha. There were 16 players. Im thinking 5th or something.
i couldnt find or buy 2 trapjaw tyrant so i replaced them with 1 more huatli and ajani for this fnm. hopefully can get some for next week.
R1 0-2 BU control
Hmm yes it was all good and dandy until he pulled out a Mechanized Production onto one of his 7 treasure tokens. I had no Cast Out in hand and well yep that was it pretty much. Game two i was prepared but was this time killed by a marrionette master why didnt i see that coming? Ah, well.
R2 2-0 Mardu Tokens
I was against my friend but we never get to versus so this was fun match! Game one we both had awkward mana but i got my forerunner of the empire out and it was very easy to sweep the board by playing any dinosaur and dealing 1 to the board. Game 2 I just got a good play with Ripjaw on t3, Alpha on t4 and Carnage on t5. It was hard to beat.
R3 2-0 RB midrange??control??
Wasnt sure what exactly but i think maybe it was reminiscent of mardu vehicles but it only played Heart of Kiran and had lots of chandras and Pia Nalaar. These matches were very very close, I won game one because i had two Prepare / Fight in my hand and was going in with 2 ranging raptor and 1 Drover of the Mighty while he was tapped out with a Heart of Kiran and a chandra in play, I was going to get in for free damage because i forgot you can crew Kiran with planeswalker loyalty! I was just going to untap and give lifelink to my guys to get back some needed life. BUT HE CREWED THE KIRAN AND BLOCKED DROVER, so i then cast Prepare and killed it! I didnt plan for this, because i was on 4 life i was gonna die but then it was a big life swing and then there was no Kiran to be scared of and it went well.
g2 was much more control oriented with the hand discard spells but i managed to land a board state and punched through for damage, it took a while and maybe i need some more removal in the form of burn to deal with Kitesail Freebooter and the likes.
r4 2-0 BW vampires
Killed the tokens with Forerunner of the Empire and smashed through with Ghalta, Primal Hunger and even predicted a Settle the Wreckage by swinging with just tokens made with Huatli, i felt very good about that. Nothing too scary here and the next game was pretty easy as well.
OHO BRING ON THE SPOILERS

edit thinking about it further, i dont think i like either of the two new cards spoiled, looking at my list and thinking about what i'd rather play on those turns etc. I dont think either of this cards is what dinosaurs needs......Still worth testing.
December 31, 2017 11:17 p.m.
What a beefcake. I like it as a brewer at heart but this doesnt go in this deck at all.... Even if we can make it to 8 land im not sure. I'd rather go in with 1 or 2 of the green elder instead.
Dang i love this little guy! Might be worth testing, but Ranging Raptors is still the better card in my opinion, dont want to rely on getting enrage off and the raptors deters attacks better in my opinion.
This.... I like this... Pseudo Ramp or makes someone bigger, someone like Ripjaw Raptor or Kinjalli's Sunwing perhaps. Good at any point of the game i think. Might be worth giving a try.

Well, at least the white is going towards cards that are actually good.
January 2, 2018 12:17 a.m.
Just gonna start with my favourite today.
Now this card has got a lot of hate in the comments but i honestly thing its pretty good as a 1 of in this list, its advantage for the deck by playing cards for free on attacks, your opponents too! Its like our own hostage taker but not near as good lol.. but anyway, More playable than the white one at least. Also we got a few ways of granting haste! We have the Otepec Huntmaster and Regisaur Alpha which curves nicely into this guy. Also we have some ramp too! I can see us playing this guy reliably on t5 to be honest. Im definately testing this guy out.
Mmm nope not a fan, not for this list. Doesnt feel like a dinosaur card either at all. This feels like the ajani we wanted but never got?
Looks like we're getting a cycle of lords at 2cmc! RG for 2/2 sounds great here, and a very welcome addition to this list.
Glorious Destiny -2W
Enchantment
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
As Glorious Destiny enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.
Creatures of the chosen type get +1/+1/ They have vigilance as long as you have the city's blessing.
This is okay, I like anthem effects but if we're getting a lord , i would very much prefer , im not sure if this deck is looking for more non-creature cards at this point.
Shrine Atlisaur- 4W
Creature - Dinosaur
If a source would deal damage to another dinosaur you control, prevent all but 1 of that damage.
3/4
Hmmmm i dont think this list wants that either, its a cool ability but t4/t5? im not sure. Maybe sideboardable against burn heavy decks???

So much ridiculousness and its early in the season! I cant wait to steal a ScarabGod with Etali...
January 2, 2018 9:50 p.m.
Love this card! I think 2 in this deck would be good, A tutor and an engrage enabler sounds pretty damn good! And its obvious combo with...
Is damn cool and warrants its own deck! My brain is ticking and i cant wait to brew up something with that combo. Definately not for this deck.
This is cute, but that might be all it is in this deck, since im not sure how much open mana we would have when this dies. Interesting though, keeping my eye on it.
??? Hm not sure here as well as the deck really doesnt want more noncreature spells? Fixing is nice.
THIS LOOKS GREAT. It reminds me a bit of Fleecemane Lion and i think that enrage is great especially with Savage Stomp. I think i want to test this out.
January 3, 2018 9:53 p.m.
not bad mana sink, i think we just want to play a dork on t2 though.
Uuuughhhh HELLO. I dont think we'll ever reach that kind of mana reliably even with discounts so i dont think it belongs here. Purely for EDH imo. Though if we could play with it, we definitely would.
I like how this curves out, good t3 play and curves well into its Alpha, can trigger enrage on its own too. Might test.
I really wanted another flier but this...isn't it...
This is really cool! The only card it effects is Evolving Wilds for us at this stage, can easily just swap out for a basic land.
I'd love to run just 1 of this, but being tricolour really makes this hard. Its why I dropped Field of Ruin and other similar utility cards.
"Trapjaw Regisaur"
3WW
Creature - Dinosaur
Enrage - Whenever "Trapjaw Regisaur" is dealt damage, exile target creature an opponent controls until "Trapjaw Regisaur" leaves the battlefield.
5/5
I really like the design and utility of this dinosaur, even at 5 and double white. I hope that double mana doesnt hurt too much but im gonna test it out at least a 1 or 2 of.
"Silver-Armored Ferocidon"
5RR
Creature - Dinosaur
Enrage - Whenever "Silver-Armored Ferocidon" is dealt damage, each opponent sacrifices a permanent.
8/5
If this is how its written and not 'non-land' then i dont think we want this, even if we could cast it. But if it does say Non Land...Hmm.....
January 4, 2018 10:02 p.m.
This is...pretty solid removal actually... Sideboard Worthy?
Mysterious End
1W
Enchantment
When Mysterious End enters the battlefield, exile target creature with converted mana cost 3 or less an oponent controls.
When Mysterious End leaves the battlefield, target oponent creates a 3/3 green Dinosaur creature token with trample.
And this, ive been thinking about this since it was spoiled, its like Silkwrap and that saw play, but im not sure if we'd run this since we're going for more midrange strategy but it helps in the earlier stages while we're setting up so.....? Hm.....
January 4, 2018 10:13 p.m.
So many nice dinos, so many possibilities.
What do you think about wayward swordtooth instead of ranging raptors?
January 4, 2018 10:39 p.m.
Nusteyr Whoa! I didn't see that guy!
I really like the idea of this guy, but im not sure how reliable on getting ascend is just yet, i'll be watching how many permanants i get and if its relitavely easy, then this guy will definately make it into the mainboard, maybe indeed replacing the Ranging Raptors.... (I really love those guys, they fix mana and deter so many attacks..) OH BUT THIS GUY ALLOWS EXTRA LAND DROPS.. Dang yeah lets test!
January 4, 2018 11:06 p.m. Edited.
Umm not sure if this is a mistype or if I'm missing something but you have Grave Bramble in there
January 5, 2018 8:47 a.m.
pickelchu Not a mistake, its a placeholder for Thrashing Brontodon until its on the site! :)

Heres a way to get 5 mana on turn 3 or 6 for dinos(Kinjali's Caller) yes i know it doesnt add mana but it can get out your 6 drop dinos
Turn 1// plains// Kinjali's Caller
Turn 2// play land that can produce green// play Enter the Unknown// play land that can produce green // play Thunderherd Migration// or you could also play Wayward Swordtooth and then just play a additional land(this could get you to 6 mana
Turn 3 // play land and bam you have 5 mana on turn 3 for anything or 6 mana for dinos with the Kinjali's Calleror // with Wayward Swordtooth play two more lands have 6 mana for anything or 7 mana for dinos sorry for how it written i had it in like a list but it all went to one line when i posted it
January 5, 2018 9:33 p.m. Edited.
Thats interesting to know, however i refuse to run Kinjalli's Caller in this build, though i do love enter the unknown and thunderher migration, im not sure what i can drop to make room for it - both filter the deck a bit but getting to 6 mana has never been a problem for this deck :)

Hey, I saw you played against my list. I think you played it out pretty much like I would have, I think my sideboard could use a lot of help against this deck, but without really knowing where the meta is going, that might take some time. I played Naya Dinos in my prerelease today and boy was it fun, I'm considering running it in Standard and I'll definitely use your list to help me if I do. +1 from me!

What is your aversion to running Kinjalli's Caller, out of curiosity?
January 23, 2018 9:26 a.m.
DrNevermore Unless you primary colour is white, its very hard to get a consistently t1 white source to play it, which is the best play for it. it just gets worse late game and let alone a top deck! i do see its benefits but the cons outweigh the pros in this case.
January 23, 2018 7:04 p.m.
It also doesn't offer anything extra, unlike the other two mana dorks.

SlackMiller2100 says... #23
Kizmetto I recommend Cast Out instead of Ixilan's Binding its the same cost and effect and it has Flash so you can cast it at Instant speed. To me that's a fair trade for the can't cast same name effect. Also I gotta disagree with you on Kinjalli Caller. It does take a lot more finnaggling with your lands but its a useful early drop that can help out as an early blocker if need be (IMO).
