Want to play Dinosaurs in Standard but can't afford your Ripjaws and Tyrants? Not a problem with this disgustingly inexpensive Budget Dinosaur Deck! Experience a classic Gruul Midrange beatdown deck that hardly sacrifices any speed or power for the difference in price! This deck is simple, effective, and easy on the wallet. As of 10-19-17 I have all the non-land cards in a TCGPlayer.com cart for less than $8. That's right.

8 WHOLE DOLLARS


Disclaimer: I only included the Rootbound Crags because I happen to have the older versions. Not using them barely affects the deck performance.

Sideboard cards not included in 8 dollar cart as I already own them and they are not required to play the deck effectively.


Rivals of Ixalan:

Rivals brought some awesome new cards. We have two new powerful three drop dinosaurs in Thrashing Brontodon and Frilled Deathspitter . At the 4 drop slot is Raging Regisaur because it triggers Enrage and lowers the curve, replacing Raging Swordtooth . Because of the more impactful Enrage triggers and lower mana curve I've replaced some mana ramp with 3 copies of Rile which helps filter. With all the flip artifacts and enchantments Thrashing Brontodon replaces Ranging Raptors .


Upgrades:

If you want to invest in this deck and make it even stronger try acquiring some of these cards.
