Pro Comment: If you can play this and then untap you are going to be in good shape, as cranking out dinosaurs every turn is a big deal, as is pumping your Dinosaurs. But all high mana cards in this format get downgraded because the format is so aggressive.

Pro Comment: Like with most of the Explore cards, this is a nice rate no matter which thing end sup happening. A 3-mana 2/3 Flyer with Surveil 1 is a nice rate, as is a 3-mana ½ Flyer that draws you a card

Pro Comment: This has surprisingly passable stats in this format. It is bigger than most other aerial creatures.

Pro Comment: This is a grindy card in a format where you’re not that interested in making games go long. If your deck is already making Treasure without the help of the Plunderers, it tends to be pretty efficient, but if your main play is making treasure with this you’re going to be in trouble, as sinking 4 mana into that ability instead of adding to the board is a bad plan

Pro Comment: There’s not enough graveyard stuff going on in this format for this to be a real sideboard card, and the life gain effect alone isn’t worth it.

Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: Expensive cards in this format can be a liability, but this one does something that can actually help you stabilize against aggressive decks – and that is gain you at on of life. A 7-mana 5/5 that gains you 5 life can certainly get you back ahead from behind, and if you untap and play another creature things can get really out of hand. It is still quite expensive, but it is one of the few high mana cards in the format that I think you can take pretty highly

Pro Comment: This is a decent two-drop, especially in a Dinosaur deck, but it isn’t much more than that

Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This doesn’t have the most exciting Raid trigger, but a two-mana 2/1 that loots on ETB is decent. It is certainly underwhelming when it is just a 2/1. Basically, it has a mediocre floor and a decent ceiling

Pro Comment: If your deck has a good number of dinosaurs, this is a pretty decent card. If you play it on turn one and are able to gain 2 life off of it over your first few turns you’re getting pretty good value. And, really, that’s where most of this card’s value comes from, as the tutor effect on it is super expensive. It doesn’t hurt that it can tutor up a dino though, especially because some of them are bombs!

Pro Comment: This isn’t the most efficient way to draw cards, but it does give you a mana back and fixes for you.

Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: This is an inefficient creature that tries to help you block, but blocking is not the most common thing in this format, so you’re not very interested

Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This mostly plays a two mana 1/1 that gives you a 3/3 when it dies, and that’s a fine card. It is pretty hard to get more than one token out of it, although if you can it feels pretty good

Pro Rating: 1.5 // 3.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty hard to cast in a format that is pretty fast, but this is very likely to pull you ahead if you can cast it, since you’ll generally put not only Gishath but some other dinosaur into play right away, and that’s hard for the decks in this format to punch through. Most decks can’t really swing it, though, so I think you need a buildaround grade here

Pro Comment: This can have a huge impact on the game late, suddenly giving you an unbeatable attack. However, there are some problems here that really limit this card. The mana cost is huge in any format, but its especially true in this one. Additionally, it has terrible base stats that mean it can die to a whole lot of cheaper removal int his format. Because you have to attack to get the double strike thing to go off, this is a big problem. You definitely play it sometimes in the top curve of your dino deck if you’re good at ramping, but it definitely isn’t great.

Pro Comment: This is one of Blue’s best Commons. It has decent defensive stats, but its ability to make Treasure is what is so great. You actually get a ton for your mana investment! The Treasure lets you ramp and fix your mana, and with enough of it, you can definitely splash some off-color bombs.

Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is surprisingly effective in this format. You often want to protect your small evasive creatures from removal, and this definitely does the job.

Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This definitely has some mediocre Hill Giant Stats, but they are passable. The mana sink ability here is definitely powerful though, as turning your lands into creatures is a good way to gain an advantage

Pro Comment: This end sup with Flying a lot and is one of the better two drops for the Blue-Green deck

Pro Comment: It is pretty much impossible to end up with a deck that can effectively utilize this.
