Pantlaza, Sun-Favored - Decklist

have a dino deck. It is full of big, mean dinosaurs. I like stomping people with them, if they'll let me get at them with sufficient dino-power that is.

I am admittedly weak to things like Propaganda with this deck, but I don't really care. It's fun to play!

As with my Wolverine deck, I'm listing out the Death by Dinosaurs deck contents here so I can remember what's in it and why you can see what's cooking.

Gishath, Sun's Avaricious Hangry Beast Who Eats People — Gishath - I have the Sun's Avatar card in the deck and it's always fun to play Good Ol' Gish and flood the field with dinos

This is all about Dinosaurs, making them easier to get on the field, smacking haste and trample on everything, and then obliterating someone with a horde of giant, stompy bastards sent straight at them.

Quick abbreviations: Comm. = Commander, creat. = creature, opp. = opponent, ench. = enchantment, sac. = sacrifice

Struck-through cards have been removed, they're still here as reference and in case I need to swap them back in.

Italicised cards are something I still need to find/buy, but they're planned for inclusion in this deck.

74	Majestic Helipterous	Creature	Flying, ability	Flying, and gives another attacking dino flying for turn too! So two dinosaurs going over the top! Hit. You. Inna. Face.
75	Bronzebeak Foragers	Creature	Removal	On entry, exile one permanent from each opponent until Bronzebeaks leave the field. Can pay exiled card's mana value plus to get that mana value in life and put card into owner's graveyard properly Not much good against recursion decks, that last bit. But great at sitting on people's lynchpin cards!
76	Forerunner of the Empire	Creature	Tutor, damage	On entry, search for a dino card, reveal and top deck it On any dino entering, MAY deal 1 damage to each creat. on table
77	Ashroot Animist	Creature	Power boost	On attack, gives other creat. trample and +4/+4 for turn.
78	Curious Altisaur	Creature	Draw, reach	Vigilance, reach Draw when a dino deals combat damage to an opponent
79	Hulking Raptor	Creature	Mana	Ward Gain on first main phase
80	Regisaur Alpha	Creature	Ability	Other dinos have haste Also makes a 3/3 dino token w/trample, but it's the haste that matters here!

82	Zilortha, Strength Incarnate	Creature	Trample, buff	Trample Lethal damage to my creat. determined by their P not the T value. Sucks for anyone hoping that all my attack-heavy creat. were basically a glass artillery detachment. Now they're tough as steel!
83	Agonasaur Rex	Creature	Trample, counters, abilities	8/8 w/trample Can discard and draw for and then give two +1/+1 counters and indestructible and trample for turn to one creat. Mostly a big stompy but also emergency discard for protection
84	Gigantosaurus	Creature	Prettiful, chompy	Full. Art. Dinosaur. Costs , but such a pretty 10/10 dino card. Worth it.
85	Dinosaurs on a Spaceship	Creature	Abilities	Vigilance, trample Other dinos get +1/+1, vigilance and trample Has some fancy ability to get flying dino tokens but who cares about that, I want the vigilance + trample for 24/7 unstoppable dino horde fun
86	Etali, Primal Storm	Creature	Vercast	On attack, exiles top of each player's deck - can then cast exiled cards for free Once exiled someone's boardwipe, played protection for myself and wiped everyone else. I'm nice like that.
87	Ravenous Tyrannosaurus	Creature	Super-trample	On entry, sac up to three creat. for 3 +1/+1 counters for each sacced creat. On attack, also deals damage to one other creat. and excess damage to that creat.'s owner. Super trample. Sac a few tokens on entry and it's a 15/15, attack someone with no creat. or only a weak one, and you can do like, 10 to 15 damage to an opp.'s face. That'll leave a mark.
88	Kolga and Yidaro	Creature	Trample, removal	On entry, gains trample and haste, or fights target creat. Discard and to destroy target arti. or ench., then shuffle Kolga into library and draw a card Discard, shuffle, find it again - rinse, repeat? If only I had enough tutors for that!
89	Spider-Rex, Daring Dino	Creature	Reach, trample	Reach, trample, ward
90	Etali, Primal Conqueror	Creature	Vercast, poison	Trample On entry, all players exile cards until a non-land. Etali can then cast any of these for free For 9, goes to 11/11 w/trample and indestructible that gives poison counters upon player combat damage. 10 poison is means defeat, so a full Etali, Primal Sickness to the face is a dead loss. Sharing is caring - have some plague from your friendly local dino-god-skeleton
91	Ghalta and Marven	Creature	Big stompy, trample, tokens	12/12 trample. The token dino w/trample on attack is not generally needed at this point, ngl
92	Verdant Sun's Avatar	Creature	Life	Gain life on any dino's entry equal to the dino's T

93	Wakening Sun's Avatar	Creature	Removal	Destroy all non-dinosaur creat. Buh-bye now!
94	Zetalpa, Primal Dawn	Creature	Over-the-top	Flying, double strike, trample, vigilance, indestructible It's effectively a 24/7, persistent 8/8 pain in the ass. Well, it's only a pain for everyone else!
95	Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant	Creature	Vercast	On entry, put any creat. from hand to field. This 12/12 trample brings all the other dinos to the yard Why spend here and there for one or two dinos, when 8 mana here casts allll your dinos?! Ghalta #3 is the best 🥰
96	Gishath, Sun's Avatar	Creature	Vercast	On combat damage to a player, reveal that many cards from top deck, place any dinos onto field and the rest at the bottom Oh, and it's a 9/9 w/vigilance, trample and haste Gishath & Heliopterous for the win 😇
97	Zacama, Primal Calamity	Creature	Over-the-top, removal, damage, life	If cast, untap all lands after. Can pay + // for 3 damage to creat./destroy arti./ench./gain 3 life Has vigilance, reach and trample too, just for some 9/9 fun
98	Polyraptor	Creature	Duplicates	Whenever Poly is dealt damage, create a token copy of Poly. It's 6, but by Gishath, it's a fun 8-drop. Hey, where did that Forerunner's 1 damage go, again? Oh, yeah. Here. For all the Polys.
99	Huatli, Dinosaur Knight	Planeswalker	Counters, boost	2x +1/+1 counters on target dino, target dino deals damage to other creat., or all dinos get +4/+4 for turn Here to give extra chomp to go with the stomp
100	Pantlaza, Sun-favored	Creature	Dino-boss	Brings all his big, looming thug friends along to the game to intimidate you. No honour, only dinosaur.

Other dinosaurs I have lying around that can be swapped into this deck if needed (most were in here previously, in fact):

Thundering Spineback - 5 for 5/5, other dinos get +1/+1
Bonehoard Dracosaur - 3 for 5/5 flying first strike, dino token or treasure maker
Regal Behemoth - 4 for 5/5 trample, as Monarch all lands tap for an extra mana of any color
Runic Armasaur - 1 for 2/5, opponent activating non-mana abilities gives card draw
Titanoth Rex - 7 for 11/11 trample, 1 to discard and draw a card and give another creat. trample. Only not included atm while I see how the mana curve is working. 9 mana is a lot and it would be my most expensive dino cast in the deck
Flaming Tyrannosaurus
Balamb T-Rexaur
Palani's Hathcer
Swooping Pteranodon
Dinosaur Egg
Displaced Dinosaurs - turns all historic permanents (sagas, artifacts and legendaries) into 7/7 dinos! Nice but it's a mandatory replacement effect and I like my Ghaltas and Etalis to stay bigger than 7/7 so ditched for now :/

Other cards I have lying around, ready to swap in/out as needed, include:

Beast Whisperer
Growing Rites of Itlimoc
Eriette's Lullaby
Rite of Renewal
Rishkar's Expertise
Commander's Sphere
