Changes while the Juassic theme is playing? —Dec. 14, 2018

Kewl, kewl. Deck's been pretty fun, and even managed to surprise a very critical friend of mine and he complimented the deck's ability to win :D

And the much anticipated changes:

out -> in

Thrashing Brontodon -> Aura Shards - Brontodon is kinda lackluster compared to Shards, which can break almost the entire artificial board after a single Gishath hit.

Primal Command -> Needletooth Raptor - I wanna try running more enrage creatures just to see if it...uh...works. I can't put it to words, I just want to add a few more. Smol raptor seemed like a good removal tool but I'm already feeling vulnerable. The Command might find its way back soon enough.

Atzocan Seer -> Rampaging Brontodon - TappedOut is trying to convince me my deck isn't EDH legal because this card is in here. Anyway, now THAT is an angry Brontodon squints at Thrashing Brontodon ! Amazing card, I won't even feel bad for hard casting it because it can kill people. Can't wait to try it out! I did like the Seer because he was ramp, but yea...

Lightning Greaves -> Keeper of Progenitus- Ok, I removed boots for a mana dork, but bear with me. Sometimes, not being able to iinteract with my own creature can be a problem. I am willing to let this go in favor of more ramp.

Sylvan Reclamation ->Steely Resolve- I know I just said I wanted to interact with my creatures, but this card, I think is very powerful and I want to at least give it a chance. I already do have a lot of Artifact/enchantment removal, so I'm not too hurt over loosing the Reclamation.

I ended up removing general good stuff like

Swords to Plowshares -> Rampant Growth

Path to Exile -> Asceticism

I aim for speed, basic board control and protection, so these cards were slowing me down. It doesn't help that those two particular removal spells almost always find their way in almost every build with white I make. I try to be the scariest thing on the board so people have to dig and hope for their removal, not the other way around. Strategy is working well, so far.
