your going to probably thank me for this

Shaman en-Kor

probably they easiest way to get the largest amount of enrage triggers, it redirects damage to creatures in 1's and its free to trigger so redirect 3 damage to Sun-Crowned Hunters thats 9 damage to a player.

and heres the best part for 1W you can force the damage from a source too the shaman even opponents creatures from something else

and heres something adorable for dinosaur tribal Rite of Passage give everybody the Snapping Sailback enrage

oh and look at this combo

Dual Nature + Burning Sun's Avatar + Changeling Berserker or Changeling Hero or Changeling Titan = INFINITE DAMAGE

heres the instructions on how to do this

  1. after you have Dual Nature on the field once you get a Gishath trigger Congregation at Dawn the champion and Burning avatar (you only need two damage lol)
  2. stack the abilities like this make the changeling dual nature trigger last one to go off, then the real changeling champion trigger, then duel nature the dinosaur, finally the real dinosaur trigger first.
  3. the dinosaur and the clone deals 6 damage to a player (18 if you throw in Warstorm Surge)
  4. then the champion trigger activates do it to the dinosaur this will also cause the token to disapear
  5. now heres the key the last trigger happens the clone of the changeling enters the field have it exile the real one
  6. now heres what happens Dual Nature saids when the real one leaves the field so does the token so since it champion the real one it disapears
  7. stack the abilties like this nature leave last champion leaves play first
  8. the dinosaur comes back and the token they deal damage again
  9. and then the changeling token leaves then the real champion comback champion the real dinosaur again and then the token champions the real changeling
  10. rise and repeat

what do you think?

That's a lot for infinite damage. I do like the thought, but I'm a big dumb dino. I just want to smash face.

Ranging Raptors is listed under dinos and ramp

wcarterchambers - I know they are. I've been trying to motivate myself into changing things around where I have 8 ramp cards either by giving myself extra mana or lands. I just haven't found the motivation to do so. The Accel category will be moved around a bit since most of the them only reduce the cost of my dinosaurs. So far I am still waiting to see if I can get the deck finished before I make any major changes like that.

"Spared no expense..." :) Great list

Great tribe! +1

Maybe Drumhunter is a better draw engine than Garruk's Packleader? Because he ramps, is a draw engine and 1 mana cheaper.

And from my personal view he is also great for your deck flavor wise.

bushido_man96 says... #7

Mike94, I think you are right on about that. I think it has better drawing power, because once you get a fatty on the table, its drawing cards for you every turn, which is easier than playing a fatty every turn. Great call. I'm adding it to my decklist now.

CardTyrant says... #8

I am actually thinking of dropping Garruk's Packleader, but he works well with Gishath's ability, because it's when the creature enters the battlefield. Not when casted. So even the tokens count. Drawing power isn't too bad so far in all my test plays. It's mostly an issue with protecting the dinosaurs. :/

CardTyrant, that's always a problem if you play fun value decks, I had the same problem with my Odric, Lunarch Marshall EDH deck and decided to make protection a sub theme.

You could run Flickering Ward for recurring protection and Eldrazi Monument could also be a strong include if you can sacrifice a token in your upkeep. Your deck would also benefit from Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves. Mother of Runes is also great for early game protection.

If you have the mana then Eight-and-a-Half-Tails is a great addition and can protect several dino's at once (he is completely of flavor though). Glory is also a great option if you can get it into your graveyard.

Spectra Ward combined with Concerted Effort is a great shield for your creatures, when you combine these with Eldrazi Monument it's almost impossible to remove them.

Hope you can do some tinkering with these suggestions!

Rivals of ixalan cards revealed

what changes are you going to make?

How about that RIX set tho

January 12, 2018 12:05 p.m.

CardTyrant says... #12

TheDeckMaker2300: I actually have a huge update coming to the deck next Friday. I'm adding 19 cards to the deck.

January 13, 2018 11:01 a.m.

That's cool ideas

However there's three more thing you could/should put in

Number 1

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/rivals-ixalan-oracle-changes-2018-01-11

Regal Behemoth is now a dinosaur instead of a lizard

You got another card draw and ramp at the same time card to put in.

Number twoRite of Passage it pretty much gives the whole army Snapping Sailback enrage trigger

Number 3Temple Altisaur negates all damage to all dinosaur to 1 except this one give it indestructible then all the sudden Blasphemous Act becomes a 1 sided sweep like Plague Wind (most of the time)

Oh enrage has slight more focus now

So I got three for ya

  1. Caltrops
  2. Lightmine Field
  3. Splintering Wind

The last one may not be such a good idea but with Ravenous Daggertooth + Rite of Passage it negates the damage from the leave play

January 13, 2018 12:25 p.m.

CardTyrant says... #14

TheDeckMaker2300: As much as I like enrage, I don't want to have it take over my deck. I have thought about putting Rite of Passage into the deck. Temple Altisaur was original going into the deck, but I opt to not put him in there simply because I didn't want to focus too much on the enrage.

Thanks for the article. I heard they were changing some more lizards to dinosaurs, but I didn't know who or where the article was (I am a bit lazy).

I will take what you have told me into consideration after I play around with Ixalan Park V2.0 (If I even get to V1.0).

Looking for other decklists to compare to my own Gishath list, and stumbled across yours. I think it's really cool that you're following the Professor's advice on land ratios, but keep in mind those are averages. Your commander is a whopping eight mana; you need to be able to hit amount quickly. I'd spike to about 10-15 accelerators actually. I recommend any combination of Atzocan Seer, Wayward Swordtooth, Drover of the Mighty, Knight of the Stampede, Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, Explosive Vegetation, Farseek, Gruul Signet, Selesnya Signet, Boros Signet, Pillar of Origins, Mirari's Wake, and/or Zendikar Resurgent.

CardTyrant says... #16

Austin_Smith_of_Cards- I am actually working on upgrading the deck. I am adding Farseek, Spoils of Victory, and Nature's Lore. Knight of the Stampede and Wayward Swordtooth are already in the deck. I don't run the Signets because I'm not a huge fan of filters. I don't know why and I can't explain it, but I just don't like them. I thought about running Atzocan Seer and Drover of the Mighty, but I have no clue what to take out for them. I also thought about running Mana Crypt, but same as before, I don't know what to take out for them. Pillar of Origins is only for the correct creature type, so I didn't run it. I don't run Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, or Explosive Vegetation because they only get basic lands. The deck doesn't run very many basic lands, so I choose not to run them. I thought about running Mirari's Wake and Zendikar Resurgent, but I have no clue on what to take out. Resurgent lets me draw cards which is something this deck lacks a bit on, and Mirari's Wake gives my dinosaurs a slight boost.

As I test (a very unfinished deck), I normally can get Gishath out by turn 5.

You could probably take out a Forest for Mana Crypt. It's a 0 drop that taps for mana, it's basically a land.

bushido_man96 says... #18

With the release of RIX, has that had any influence on whether or not you'd consider running with Enrage as more of a theme? I saw quite a few dinosaurs with enrage triggers that could be quite useful, so I was just curious if it has changed your focus or not.

January 23, 2018 12:53 p.m.

CardTyrant says... #19

bushido_man96 - I have started adding more support for Enrage. I also dropped a lot of dinosaurs that lack enrage (kept the good ones that don't have enrage). I am not going all out with the enrage support, but it is a sub-theme. I am still experimenting, but I think I will be adding more top deck manipulation cards and some protection cards.

Silverclad Ferocidons...you have twice in this decklist

February 13, 2018 11:10 a.m.

CardTyrant says... #21

nayaman - If you noticed I have a lot of cards twice on the decklist. I have him in removal and he's a dinosaur. Same with Ranging Raptors (dinosaur and accel) or Bellowing Aegisaur (dinosaur and support). There are a few others that I have added in two spots. I did that so I can better remember why each dinosaur is in the deck when I edit it. ;)

Please help!

im really surprised Temple Altisaur is not in here

May 5, 2018 1:22 p.m.

CardTyrant says... #25

I wanted it in there, but since all my enraged triggers only do 1 damage to my creatures, Temple Altisaur was up in the air. Than there was the issue of what to take out. I had to cut a lot of good dinosaurs with the release of Rivials. There are a lot of good dinosaurs.
