6 years ago I got back into Magic through Arena and your video on upgrading the dino starter deck. Feels like things have come full circle.

[@CyberBuster93]

Yesss!!! I knew something was brewing when I didn't get my regular notification from you! Lets gooooo!!! So excited for this set!!!!!

[@anima132000]

Tranquil Frillback looks like a good addition to the deck, either Etalli or Trumpeting could be cut out (one of the two could be side board out). Tranquil Frillback seems better fit here main deck to utilize the extra mana, helping against other aggro decks along thanks to life gain along with potential graveyard hate that would be pretty welcome here with all the graveyard effects or an additional means of destroying artifacts or enchantments. The utility it provides seems welcome in the deck.

[@hostileeldritch2686]

ooo i definitely second this

[@Legov7]

I love all the cool dinosaur cards. Really enjoying the feathers. So beautiful.

[@starmanda88]

This was so much fun to watch! I love Dinos and can’t wait to get my hands on the new commander deck. So many new toys!!!!

[@Brntnugget]

23:04 couldn’t the opponent used his ability on you instead to finish the game, would’ve been lethal with sheoldred on field. Edit nvm they ended up doing that later in the video

[@Vplayer_]

opponent wanted to win in the hard way

[@gorsedh]

I was thinking maybe he feared removal on sheoldred but LVD was tapped out so i guess he missed that line

[@marcellopozzessere1656]

Drawing cards is clearly better than winning xD

[@SeruKgoeszomg]

I’ve been so excited to run exactly that combo and when I saw them play Ob and LVD just kept talking about his dinosaurs I was like “oh boy he doesn’t even know he’s dead” and… c’mon opponent how much did you get paid 😅

[@xenogenesis9635]

Poor Malone. I love the guy, but running into LVD is always an issue unless Luca gets bad draws.

[@RibusPQR]

Hammerskull and Fight Rigging will be nuts.

[@fouroakfarm]

Noticed several cards from new set seem perfect for Fight Rigging

[@kqwerty11]

Cavern of Souls looks amazing for so many already existing decks.

[@orzhov12]

The dino deck in standard actually seems pretty decent. What helps is that so many of the cards are just good on their own. Hulking is a nice4 drop that ramps for free, can trade with Sheoldred, and is annoying to kill. Hammerskull is HUGE for 3 mana. Dracosaur essentially draws you 2 cards for free AND makes treasure or creature tokens. The Carnosaur can be pitched for removal and gives you value if you cast it. Etali is just a solid card as we've seen in standard so far. Almost all these dinos could fit in current midrange lists in standard and be great. I was skeptical dinos could get there in standard but it actually might be a viable deck. 🤔

[@_claymore]

I usually don't care too much about the MTGA "cosmetics", but that raptor-pet getting lowered onto the playing field with a rope was kinda funny to see. 26:02

[@nomenestomen3452]

I know. It has some Jurrasic Park vibes.

[@masterlightningpanda8665]

As much as i love dinosaurs and big creatures, that 3 mana 6/6 is kinda crazy ngl. Even if it gets a stun counter every now and then it still isnt much of a downside.

[@lesternomo6578]

the only way they could think of to save green

[@brent0034]

I feel like this deck would benefit from a fight rigging. There will be so many mirror matches I bet and the extra counters here and there will make a difference

[@merke323]

Nice to see the new dinosaurs! Although I'm mostly hyped about an updated kayla's reconstruction build: the new 1 mana unconditional prison artifact is exactly what it needed, and even the tote making 3 artifact looks appealing, nice malcator you know

[@adamdontmiss]

That Ob combo is hilarious xD

That Ancient One, Ob Nixilis, Sheoldred combo is going to be in standard? Oh, good... just what I always wanted (sarcasm).

[@fallingstarwarrior3672]

love the pirate deck, seems fun

[@emmettmorrison751]

We're so back. Dinosaurs for the win!!!!

[@dac2007]

Besides the hasty Dinos Lukka could also be a good addition to a potential version that wants to have insurance against wraths or in case of Bo3 a good sideboard option

[@SRMC23]

Hatcher opens up a floodgate for a Naya EGGS jank. we have Mondrak, we have the new White God that triples(?) creature tokens, we have Three Blind Mice from Eldraine, maybe Elesh Norn Mothern of Machines to double ETB. so we could in theory make copious amounts of eggs, the only think i miss is that we dont have a spell to transform all tokens, because it would be a neat combo.

Match 4, your opponent could have won with the Ob ult. They could have chosen you to draw 7 seven and lose 7 life. With Shelly on the field, that would’ve been lethal.

You pointing out the double block you missed out on is a play I'd have missed out on too, and would have missed what's objectively a mistake if you hadn't pointed it out. Edit: They created a whole new Keyword for discarding creature cards for an effect, and somehow Carnosaur has the old text? What doing, smol indie company?

Let's say, I win most games if I build a control deck composed mostly of removals. Want to check other midrange type of things? No way - win rate doesnt exist. Seriously, this is boring. People are not willing or able to sit down and think about their own deck for a moment?

We all need to sign a petition for WoTC to make huge changes to arena. They really need to clean up and tweak that stupid fricken app. It should be near flawless considering how much money those people are making.
