Keruga, the Macrosage

Legendary Creature — Dinosaur Hippo

Companion — Your starting deck must only contain cards with converted mana cost/mana value 3 or greater and land cards. (You may reveal this card from outside the game before you start and declare it as your companion. If you do, your deck must follow the companion's restrictions. You may pay to put this companion from your sideboard to your hand at any time you could cast a sorcery. This action can't be interacted with or countered. You may only choose one companion for your deck before the start of each round.)

When this enters, draw a card for each other permanent you control with converted mana cost/mana value 3 or greater.

SteelSentry I don't want to turn down your advice, I'm going to check EDHrec, but I have a Gorion, Wise Mentor deck in this series for Adventures. Keruga, the Macrosage would be a fun twist if I can make the budgeting work.

On Arena I have every budget beater and card draw spell in those colors I own for the most part. I usually don't recommend it as a first stop, but in this case, the theme is wide open enough that a scroll through EDHREC is a fine place to start.

It looks like Adventures are a good budget option, and Keruga as a companion is another neat direction to go in. Check out split cards and the new Rooms in Duskmourn for ways to get around Keruga, the Macrosage's restriction!

The reason you can't do this comes from the following rule:

903.11. If a player is allowed to bring a card from outside the game into a Commander game, that player can’t bring a card into the game this way if it has the same name as a card that player had in their starting deck, if it has the same name as a card that the player owns in the current game, or if any color in its color identity isn’t in the color identity of the player’s commander.

So though you would technically be allowed to name Keruga, the Macrosage as your Companion if you also put Keruga in your deck, there would be no way to actually get the Companion into the game after it starts. You won't be able to use it.

I think you can't have Keruga, the Macrosage as your companion whilst Gollum, Patient Plotter is in the deck.

I like this concept a lot, and from the look of the list it feels very easy to assemble.

My only thought is that there has to be more obnoxious permanents to cast for 5 mana… you’re not restricted by colour so you can just put any egregious nonsense into play pretty easily. Imo Titania, Protector of Argoth is only really any good in a deck running fetchlands.

I had a quick look through gatherer and the following might be worth considering:

5.28 avg cmc is astronomically high my man. I'm not trying to be overly critical, but that means on avg you won't be able to play anything until your 5th turn 3/4 games and turn 6 the other 1/4. I have a Jodah deck with Keruga, the Macrosage as a companion. It's purposely trying to have a high cmc with no 1 or 2 drops and only 1 nonlegendary and I'm still about a full mana cheaper on avg.

Here's a link for reference and to hopefully give you some ideas. "Shanked By Jank" - Featuring Jodah and Keruga

I see a dino deck, I upvote.

A quick headsup: Keruga, the Macrosage isn't legal in here because its colour identity is both and . Also, is there a reason you tagged this as a casual deck instead of commander/EDH?

Regarding the remaining list, maybe cut the worst 10 to 20 of your dinosaurs to add in some card draw, ramp and removal/interaction? Sol Ring is always useful, and green gives you access to great cards such as Rampant Growth, Cultivate, and Kodama's Reach.

With Keruga, the Macrosage as a Companion, manland cards like Blinkmoth Nexus, Mishra's Factory, Mutavault, Faerie Conclave, Ghitu Encampment, Mishra's Foundry, and Treetop Village give you some options for the early turns.
