Ziatora, abusing dinosaurs Help!
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on March 8, 2025, 1:36 p.m. by GeistKing
I really want to use Ziatora at the helm of a commander deck, using dinosaur synergy to beef the board and ramp it with power before she arrives to reap them into fuel for dragon fire.
I like the concept, I've play tested a few times but it is extra clunky. I could use some help making it work like the engine I intended. I'm used to something like simic which is naturally simple to ramp and fill my hand, but I seem to fizzle out or brick when running Jund. Any ideas are welcome. I know the dino idea isn't optimal compared to dragon tribal or Ziatora normal build, but I find it more fun!

Have you thought about Greater Good for a card draw effect? Disciple of Bolas can also work. So there are a few options for card draw.
On the mana front, I'd add in Nature's Lore and Skyshroud Claim. Don't know what I'd take out, though.
I would suggest getting rid of the reveal lands, though. Just replace them with the Blood Crypt
cycle of lands, a.k.a. shocks (because they Shock you), if you have them. If not, maybe the Sulfurous Springs cycle of lands, called pain lands.
