Thank you all for the Upvotes —March 17, 2019

Thank you for getting my deck to 200 upvotes. I never thought one of my decks would get that many. As of right now I am working on fine tuning the deck to make it faster while also foiling it out.

the deck looks amazing, 1 question that you may have answered though...why do you play Keeper of Progenitus and not Mirari's Wake ? i believe the difference in mana cost would more than make up for the fact that it doesn't allow your opponents to also double their mana output....plus it gives all your creatures +1/+1....win win?

sleepyhead1991 Honestly, never even thought of it. When I update the deck, I might have to do that.

Hey CardTyrant

Cool deck! Im really stuck between building this or Zacama, Primal Calamity .

But looking at your list, why didnt you include Samut, Voice of Dissent ? I think giving all your creatures haste and the ability to untap big blockers would be super nice to include.

kevinscheurwater - I don't run Samut for a few reasons. The first is that most of my creatures (if the game is playing right) will be coming out from Gishath, so they will have to wait a turn to attack anyway. The untap is just for one creature, and if I need to block, I would most likely hold back. Samut seems like a great card, but it feels like she wants to be the leader of her own deck and not in the 99.

Zacama is an amazing commander, but not for Dinosaur tribal. Zacama is a great combo deck, I feel.

CardTyrant, you might have a point there :)

How well do you do against certain types of decks? Aggro/Control/Stacks etc..

kevinscheurwater: Other aggro decks it's 50/50. If they are tiny swarms, as long as I can ramp into Gishath, I normally can stabilize. Control decks are a nightmare to battle out of, and Stax decks are not in my meta, but I can imagine that they will win most of the time. This deck is mostly used against other tribal decks.

Aura Shards perhaps?

It synergizes with gishath’s trigger

TheDeckMaker2300 Since it is a MAY trigger, I will put it in consideration. Right now I feel the deck is lacking in speed. So I am throwing in more ramp.

If you want better ramp, consider swapping Manalith for something like Thran Dynamo or Worn Powerstone . If fixing ins't a problem, swap out Chromatic Lantern to get both in. Cards like Mirari's Wake and Zendikar Resurgent really pay dividends in my dino tribal deck. As does Aura Shards , to second the above comment.

bushido_man96 - I wouldn't mind Thran Dynamo , and been thinking of adding MW and ZR. Aura Shards is also being considered. I don't like ramp spells that come out tapped. Makes me feel like I am waiting to benefit from them.

I hear you, CardTyrant, but I'm also not a huge fan of 3 CMC mana rocks that only produce one mana. I think you'd be better off running a signet over the Manalith .
