The Ultimate Dino Deck Box! —Jan. 5, 2025
I finally have the perfect box for my love letter to all things Dinosaur. I present to the world: The Tyrant King's Deckbox!
It's a deckbox i've always wanted, and after reaching out to multiple artists I finally found someone who could make this dream come true. It is indeed big, and a little unwieldy - but totally worth it. It fits a ton of cards, so there will be no worries in regards to how a deck is sleeved - and has plenty of room for tokens.

I would include Up the Beanstalk, but it only triggers off of 17 cards in the deck (including my commander). Sure, once I go infinite and get infinite cast triggers it would end the game, but there are better options in what's already included namely - Elemental Bond and Garruk's Uprising. Would you cut Elemental Bond for Guardian Project?

Hello, dropping you some feedback from the advertise thread as feel you didn’t really get it when you posted!
I really like the deck, I’ve actually already upvoted so can’t do that again.
I appreciate Finale of Devastation offers some recursion, but I prefer Chord of Calling, it’s a pip more expensive but can be made much cheaper with creatures and is also instant speed, which can come in very useful.
Wilderness Reclamation could also be very good, as could Seedborn Muse, although the latter is probably the better card the former may be more flavourfully fitting.
Lastly Greater Good could get you out of any top deck issues as you’re running a lot of big creatures.
Hope these suggestions are useful!

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. That last guy on the forum didn't even look at my deck page let alone give feedback. My goal is to try and address some gaps I see with the deck which come from a lack of consistent draw. At the moment I'm considering Elemental Bond vs. The Great Henge. Bond triggers off of 100% of the creatures in and produced by the deck namely tokens that can be produced by Huatli, Warrior Poet and your namesake Polyraptor. Henge on the other hand seems a little less consistent. It doesn't trigger off tokens, and if I don't have a big enough creature on the field then it's effectively a dead card. Please remind me why this card is so good? I have one, but feel hesitant to include it. The overall CMC for the deck is pretty high...

I would definitely opt for Elemental Bond over The Great Henge based on your comment. Sounds like it ticks every box.
I can’t really think of a better option, you could alternatively look at “when you attack with” triggers draw but that doesn’t sound as consistent. Would only net 1-2 draw a turn but if Elemental Bond could get a lot more.

Correction - Elemental Bond triggers off of all but 5 creatures in the deck. But I'm still moving forward with it. The Great Henge is big and flashy but I feel like it's a Red Herring or a false positive in the context of this deck. It's too high risk high reward when all I want is a nice flat consistent draw effect. Only time will tell if it's the right choice.
Separately, I've finally found an artist who could build the deck box of my dreams for this deck. As it comes closer to getting finished I'll share photos. Do you have any custom deck boxes?

It sounds as if Elemental Bond is still the better choice… I always imagine Henge to pop off with some form of dork heavy deck like Chulane.
I don’t, I’d love to design my own one day, or a playmat.
