OK! Dinosaurs are coming and I am pumped for them! What I am curious of is has anyone started looking at the older cards and come up with any strats? Like I saw Enrage and thought of cards like Earthquake just to trigger all of my enrage abilities.
LittleBlueHero, those are all super good ideas! I feel like Domri Rade is an include because who wouldn't want that emblem with dinos?

I just hope we see a few more enrage abilities before spoilers are done. I keep building things with enrage in mind only to realize the only enrage card im running is Ripjaw Raptor

Pyrohemia is probably my favorite way in-color to trigger enrage right now

In my Gishath deck, I am putting inChameleon Colossus and Taurean Mauler as additional "dinosaurs" as just generally good creatures that can be hit with Gishath's ability.
Also, don't forget the Alara naya "mechanic" of caring about creatures with power five or greater.
In an article written today on the Wizards website by Nicholas Wolfram, titled "A Royal Recipe for Dinosaur Tribal", he talks about how it can be used in commander, as well as a list of existing creatures that are being changed to dinosaurs.
Hope I helped! Happy brewing!

I took a look on the gatherer searching for cards with the text "power 5 or greater" and found a few cards that I think would be good for dinos.
Drumhunter, Exuberant Firestoker, Feed the Clan, Godtracker of Jund, maybe Mayael the Anima, Mayael's Aria, Mighty Emergence, Mycoid Shepherd, maybe Spearbreaker Behemoth, Spellbreaker Behemoth, Sunseed Nurturer, and Where Ancients Tread.

You can also look up things with the Ferocious mechanic which checks for power 4 or greater which would include your Ripjaw Raptor

"Fight" cards are pretty darn good with Dinosaurs.
Particularly Setessan Tactics, Ulvenwald Tracker or Domri Rade may be ok.
Raka Sanctuary could work as long as you are in Naya Colors. Outpost Siege targeting your own creatures when one dies. Of course Pyrohemia is a solid choice as well.
There are a few cards that are just like earthquake as well.
