Introduction

Ever since the original Ixalan i got excited about the enrage mechanic and all the dinosaurs that brought this mechanic with them. So naturally i ended up with a whole bulk of dinosaurs that I carried over to a dinosaur EDH with Gishath, Sun's Avatar at it's helm.

Seven year passes, Ixalan returned and with it Pantlaza, Sun-Favored came to existence, Inheriting Gishath's throne.

Discover Pantlaza's possibilities

I love different. Do something clever that woes the table, and Pantlaza secretly has this in his ability. But before i continue let's first layout the directions Pantlaza can be build:

What else? Other strategies that i will not delve into could involve Birthing Pod/Pyre of Heroes where you sequence your deck's converted mana costs in a way to combo for a win. Or fight card strategies (Wayta, Trainer Prodigy) to encourage the enrage mechanic some more.

Combo's

Sneak Attack + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: A discover trigger on each turn

Mirror of Life Trapping + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: A discover upon cast and another upon returning from exile.

Monster Manual + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: Helps to discover each turn.

Delayed Blast Fireball + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: This poorly worded fireball always deals 5 damage to opponents and creatures through being discovered.

Jeska's Will + Passionate Archaeologist.

Sneak Attack + Another Round/Ghostway: Keeps the board alive

Molten Echoes/Warleader's Call + Another Round: With a few creatures on board it's done.

Anti-Combo's:

Marauding Raptor: this pissed little raptor doesn't fare too well with other dorks.

Passionate Archaeologist: It triggers on cast, not on blink.

Scytheclaw Raptor: This ability includes us. With Pantlaza, Sun-Favored's trigger this can result in 8 damage to ourselves!

Earthshaker Dreadmaw: With Molten Echoes and/or Legion Loyalty and/or Another Round this guy can be hungry for libraries. Carefull.

So far Gishath runs fairly smooth. People shat themselves when Gishath entered play. However, indestructible appears to be an issue and in one versus one I just barely came short every game. Than again, when a Ezuri, Claw of Progress pops a Hornet Queen from a hideout just after playing Doubling Season nothing will really stop him.

Anyway! Ravnica came with a new toy called Rhythm of the Wild. The creatures cannot be countered card I've been looking for! And it comes with the choice of haste or a +1 counter also, brilliant!

Speaking of Ravnica, Smothering Tithe is a nice test. Knowing how badly people care about Rhystic Study, this should ramp immensely.

Now Kinjalli's Caller is very efficient and straightforward in her job. Its no 0/1 dork that dies easily too. But with 19 possible candidates Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma just takes the edge over the caller. And so, she has been benched for Goreclaw.

I liked Radiant Destiny for the sake of it's tribal devotion. But Gishath demands more - double strike mostly! Now True Conviction might be a possible later inclusion, but it's presence is too obvious and cost a turn. Boros Charm on the other hand is very versatile and sudden, I like it!
