Whew! Forerunner of the Empire+Polyraptor+Heroic Intervention=Infinite Polyraptor tokens! Just cast Heroic Intervention while the damage trigger off Forerunner of the Empire triggered by Polyraptor entering the battlefield is on the stack and each new Polyraptor will trigger Forerunner of the Empire for another one. The combo works even without Heroic Intervention to create 8 Polyraptors. Just follow these steps:
  1. Play Polyraptor with Forerunner of the Empire on the field.

  2. Choose to use the damage trigger to deal 1 damage to everything creating another Polyraptor and leaving Forerunner of the Empire with 2 toughness left.

  3. The new Polyraptor triggers Forerunner of the Empire again. This time 2 Polyraptor tokens are created and Forerunner of the Empire has 1 toughness left.

  4. Finally comes the tricky part. These two tokens each triggers Forerunner of the Empire but we want to decline to do one damage to each creature when the first Polyraptor enters and instead do it when the second enters the battlefield for maximum Polyraptors. This way, the Forerunner of the Empire dies and deals 1 damage to all 4 Polyraptors instead of just 3 leaving us with 8 Polyraptors and no more Forerunner of the Empire. 48 Power.

  • Pros

  • Not reliant on the combo! Tons of other dinos!

  • The combo can occur over multiple turns without one piece being powerful enough to attract removal!

  • Possible T4 and likely T5 Infinite Combo!

  • One combo piece tutors the second making it a 2 card combo, Forerunner of the Empire+Heroic Intervention

  • The lesser combo is just a one card combo, Forerunner of the Empire tutors up Polyraptor.

  • With just a few minor edits the deck becomes very cheap and super affordable as a fun, non-competitive deck!

  • Weak to sweepers (hope they don't have Fumigate, if you think they might do the lesser combo and save Heroic Intervention for it)

    Less reliable than other dino decks (when it doesn't combo)

    Weak vs aggro
