Description

It's Dino Time!

image image image image

Introduction

This is my Gruul dinosaur deck, which attempts to be an aggro deck, rather than a ramp deck, wherefore the mana curve ends at 5 mana. Bonehoard Dracosaurimage and Palani's Hatcherimage are used as top-end creatures. There's no Trumpeting Carnosaurimage, because discover is not so great with so many small creatures.

Format

  • The deck is for the Standard format with The Lost Caverns of Ixalan being the last legal set.
  • The deck is probably Tier 1.5 caliber.
  • The deck can be played in both Bo1 and Bo3.

Source

This is my own brew. I tried several net decks, but didn't like them too much. So, I decided to build my own brew.
