Creature — Dinosaur

Each creature you control assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.

Two years later and you're both right - I've finally implemented those suggestions.

bobanderson, I did take out Belligerent Brontodon. I liked the redundancy in case I lose Doran or he's prohibitively expensive to cast, but the brontodon is just way too expensive to cast. Still keeping Assault Formation as a backup for Doran though.

NV_1980, I just added Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper. Honestly, I should have done this long ago. You were right!

You probably don't need Belligerent Brontodon, as in averaging out P/T of your creatures you don't gain much if anything with it. You'll also probably want to switch out Strength of the Pack with an Overrun variant, perhaps End-Raze Forerunners on a budget. And, finally, seconding the others--fewer lands, more ramp. That means Rampant Growth, Cultivate, Nature's Lore, Farseek, etc. Sol Ring and Command Tower are automatic includes in a Commander deck, as well. Good luck! Looks like a fun deck!

Angler Turtle, Meandering Towershell and Mistford River Turtle. The first one is an insane finisher/control-card, the second one is a flavour-bomb with a surprising lot of utility, and the third is actually a pseudo turtle-lord.

A card I havent used yet that I'd love to is Belligerent Brontodon. Maybe I should build Bant Butt Strike soon...

The landbase seems a little too simple for a 3-colour-deck. May I suggest du add at least Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse ? They aren't expensive and help a lot. Primal Druid and Wild-Field Scarecrow are fitting ramp/fixing options, and Scaretiller might be worth a look, as well.

You should play copies of each High Alert , Assault Formation and Belligerent Brontodon as backups for your commander. Wakestone Gargoyle might be very useful as well.

Two more interesting options are Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive and Mistford River Turtle to make your walls unblockable. Oh, and a way to give your creatures vigilance seems importan as well ( Always Watching is fine for that). Three more nifty cards for toughness-decks are Bident of Thassa , Angler Turtle and Profaner of the Dead .

Keep up the work, you definitely are on a good way.

Hi LeGiTxHERO and welcome to our little brewpage :) I'm not planning to add Teyo, the Shieldmage or Huatli, the Sun's Heart to the deck. Teyo, the Shieldmage is too expensive mana/toughness wise for what he does. Those 3 mana are better spend in other defenders. he would create one 0/3 for 3, and probably been destroyed before using him a second time. Huatli, the Sun's Heart is just like Belligerent Brontodon , they can't do much alone and would still need something like High Alert . The lifegain from Huatli is not so good, also. I like Wall of Runes and maybe cut Perimeter Captain for it, but I'm not 100% sure at the moment.

Nice THCue, I played him only once last time and lost, but was fun as always! Also nice change you made, I don't think I will add fetches in the future to keep it on a budget but they are always a good choice.

Vlasiax I don't know, it needs two different mana, which is sometimes hard to hold back.
