War & Primal Corruption —April 3, 2023
Through the constant barrage of sets coming out this year I found few (if any) Dinosaurs that I would consider a worthy addition to this deck until I saw Etali, Primal Conqueror Flip. On ETB it provides wonderful value and when combined with Sword of Hearth and Home is repeatable while providing ramp. The real appeal however, is it's flip side which provides a reliable alternate wincon using one of my favorite mechanics: Poison. I've seen other players refer to Etali, Primal Conqueror Flip as Dreadsteel Colossus (or Dreadsteel) and will happily propagate it's nickname (like the name Skittles for Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon)
To make room, I am strongly considering the removal of Ghalta, Primal Hunger. Objectively, it's an excellent card that comes out mid game allowing me to put more pressure on the board - and late game few creatures are going to manage to kill it, let alone block it and survive. It's downfall however, is that it doesn't provide much utility beyond "Turn Right. Win Fight." there is great beauty in simplicity, but having additional options available to you goes a bit further in my book. What do you think of this change? Am I missing something? Will you be getting a copy of this awesome Apex Phyrexian Predator? Please let me know.

Love the deck and love the formatting you do to your deck pages, very impressive! Perhaps the answer to this is buried somewhere in your edit logs, but just wondering if you ever considered Seedborn Muse? While certainly not a dinosaur or enrage-y, I use her in my Atla Palani, Nest Tender deck in which Zacama is usually the first target to cheat in. The value of getting all your mana back during every opponents' turn to feed to Zacama can't be understated. Perhaps worth considering for this deck!
