Rules Q&A
Pangosaur
Creature — Lizard
Whenever a player plays a land, return Pangosaur to its owner's hand.

No, Pangosaur doesn't trigger each time a land enters the battlefield.
"Playing a land" is a "special action" that you can take on your turn while the stack is empty. This is notably different than "putting a land into play" (like on Growth Spiral) which is just a variation of putting a permanent onto the battlefield. This is why you can Cultivate and then play the land that you put into your hand, because you didn't play a land with Cultivate, you put on into play. Pangosaur will only trigger when someone "plays a land".
Hope this helps!!

I'm looking at Pangosaur - does it trigger each time a land enters play, or does it only trigger during a player's (usually one) land drop for turn?

Consider the dinosaurs that were errata'd to be dinos:
Old Fogey (depending how causal you are)
and finally Tyrranax

Amazing job going through old cards that fit the theme. Do you know if any of the older cards errata have been adjusted to make them dinosaurs? Seems kind of odd that a Pangosaur is not a dino and cannot benefit from all the synergies.

Thanks Antwaan33, I am currently running Pygmy Allosaurus as I believe that to be the best due to Swampwalk (but that is specific playgroup) and of course it is the original dinosaur. Putrid Raptor is black. Alpha Tyrranax is a vanilla creature and I want cards that impact the board state more at its cost. Deathmist Raptor does not synergize with this deck. Imperiosaur doesn't do much for the deck and will be pretty hard to cast. Tyrranax's ability doesn't do much for the deck, especially at its cmc. Dromosaur and Pangosaur are quite frankly terrible. Ridgetop Raptor, Ripscale Predator, and Shivan Raptor are decent but not standout spectacular. That leaves: Frenetic Raptor, which is fairly niche; Magmasaur, which fits quite well in my deck Enrage Enabled but not great in this list as here I am not focousing on Enrage that much; and Fungusaur, which I am currently looking for a place for.

I've thought about Triassic Egg and honestly, what do I need it for in the deck? I don't have any expensive dinosaurs or any that I really want to keep on the battlefield at any cost. I can already return the deathtoucher. Also, it's really slow, I'd rather drop the Dingus Egg at 4 and then use the mana not for laying counters on my egg but instead destroying the enemies lands.
Another thing is the Pygmy Allosaurus, why would I "waste" space in the sideboard for a card that only has a use against black decks? Also I think the Pangosaur is more important as it works really well against stompy decks that don't run that many lands, while stompy decks are also more of a threat to this deck due to their faster aggro than black ones. I think I have enough of an answer to black with Lava Runner.
