Sideboard


A RG midrange/combo deck built around dinosaurs. Marauding Raptor is the glue that makes all of your creatures cheaper, enables enrage triggers, and can even get very aggro in combination with Raptor Hatchling pumping it. Infinite combo is Marauding Raptor + Terror of the Peaks + Polyraptor which makes infinite Polyraptors while doming any target for 5. Forerunner is nice in that it tutors for what you need, (even getting sideboard cards) enables a more "fair" Polyraptor play and also being a built in sweeper versus small creature decks. (Forerunner + Hatchling = Pyroclasm!) Thunderhead Migration acts as Rampant Growth almost always, Ranging Raptors often gets multiple lands, and Commune with Dinosaurs and Ripjaw Raptor smooth out the draws and allow you to find the pieces you need. As you often can ramp very hard the one of Devil's Play can be a finisher or removal alongside the Lightning Strikes. Sideboard has targeted tutors for Forerunner including Rampaging Ferocidon for lifegain and go-wide decks, Deathgorge Scavenger for some graveyard hate, Thrashing Brontodon for troublesome artifacts and enchantments and the full four of Shifting Ceratops versus control and long game blue decks. Fry is also an add for planeswalker heavy decks and Kenrith's Transformation is a concession to Phyrexian Obliterator which I have beaten but is pretty good against the deck and this was the only answer I found in the colors. Climbed from high bronze to high platinum exclusively playing this in Historic and tuning it as I have gone, has been a lot of fun and led to some great games, would recommend!
