Would it be worth adding Ravages of War to the deck? What about Samut, Voice of Dissent

rkjunior I am planning on adding Ravages of War as soon as I buy one, so good call. I really like Samut, Voice of Dissent, but I just don't think she has a place in this deck. I am pretty happy with the way its been playtesting so far, so I would say that I am at a +/- of about two cards that could be exchanged: Ravages of War and Cream of the Crop. Thanks for the input and thank everyone for the votes!

Right on.. I have a lot of the pieces for this one so this may be my next deck to build. I just happen to have a JP Ravages in my binder that needs a good home :)

rkjunior, nice! If you get it together and make some tweaks that seem to optimize the deck, let me know! I am getting to the point where I'm second-guessing my second-guesses on this one, lol. I've tried to stop mentally optimizing the deck and am now just moving on to extensive playtesting.

Lurking Predators seems like it would be a good fit here.

Starsky2814 I like Lurking Predators, generally, but by the time I could pay its CMC, I want to have my game plan in gear. This doesnt run quite as many creatures as some Dino decks, either, and I dont want to run the risk of cycling an important draw to the bottom of my library. If this deck was aggro-creature beatdown, though, I would have definitely put it in there. Thanks for looking, and dont forget to upvote!

Thoughts on any of the MLD hedges like Courser of Kruphix and Oracle of Mul Daya. What about Crucible of Worlds with Strip Mine and Wasteland

rkjunior, a Crucible of Worlds combo is going in here as soon as I get the card, for sure.

Condenserhead Right on. I've started building my list here: Gishath

I'm waiting to see the final spoilers for Rivals before I pair down the creature list to about 26-28 but you get the general idea.

rkjunior, your deck is looking solid. I have been seeing if I can fit Cryptolith Rite in mine as well for additional ramp.

And man, I cant wait to see what else Rivals has in store. The new Huatli walker looks awesome, as do some of the spoiled Dinos. Etali, Primal Storm looks great for a Dino/MLD deck, and cheating out Ghalta, Primal Hunter with Gishath, Sun's Avatar would be epic. I have been waiting with anticipation to see how I can improve my current deck after the expansion.

Just ran a game on xmage with a modified list of this and the deck is absolutely absurd. Gisalth Xmage

I'll modify it again once the new spoilers are complete. Some highlights -- Cryptolith Rite is good. Regal Behemoth is a worthy inclusion as well. With Crucible, you can dump the land search and run mana dorks IMO. More Artifact land, too -- signets, Thran, and Crypt are a must.

what about the new elder dinos?

Condenserhead says... #14

GBCShun, YES! The new elder dinos are pretty sweet! I anticipate some changes coming to this deck in the next few weeks. Some could be substantial. This is an owned deck, so I don't want to change anything until I have the cards in hand, but there are already some brewing!

When do you plan on including the new Dinos from Rivals?

Chiberia, hopefully I will have some changes up in the next few days. I have had to make some difficult decisions, lol.
