So this is my first actual attempt at a Commander deck. This is obviously built on just summoning and beefing up dinosaurs to try and stomp out your opponent. Gishath, Sun's Avatar is meant to try and get as many dinosaurs on the battlefield as early on as possible, while Kinjalli's Caller , Knight of the Stampede , and Otepec Huntmaster all help deal with the mana cost in summoning the big'uns.

And I will say, once Gishath is out, he starts to pay off immediately. I've only had one hand where he didn't put at least one dino onto the field. Best hand was getting out Ghalta, Primal Hunger early in the game with this ability. Plus the more mana dorks you have on tap, even if Gishath gets sent back to the command zone, you're likely to get some draw out of it and still cast him again the next ground for a second, third, fourth pass. I recommend using Huatli, Dinosaur Knight to put counters on him if you can too in order to try and ensure more draw possibilities after damage is taken.

I added a few land enchantments to help beef up mana, cards like Leyline of Lifeforce , so you can keep casting your dinosaurs uninhibited, and Overwhelming Splendor , which is just nasty and makes opponent creatures easy prey for the dinosaur stampede.

I tried to select creature cards that had a secondary ability.

Any feedback and suggestions is appreciated!
