That Stampede Dinos list looks cool. Might have to give it a go some time! All great stuff and I agree with it. Especially love the mention about Palani’s Hatcher with Marauding Raptor. Appreciate all the info and you doing the video. Will send people your way when I can, as always :)

I have most of the cards for traditional dino deck on paper, might try stampede dinos on arena once I have enough wildcards.

First! This is great content.

I have been a dinosaur player since I started and in June I will be taking my list to the qualifier for Lille, I hadn't considered the Stampede Dino's but they look very fun.

That’s awesome! Glad to see others are passionate about dinosaurs!

[@joshruano2590]

Awesome guide, I found that based on the categorization, mine is more like a traditional/aggro deck, but instead of Gruul, I play it Naya Do you have some considerations to kind of push the deck even further? For some context, I run 1 copy of trapjaw tyrant and 1 copy of Kinjalli's sunwing, mostly the white is for removal spells that are not focused un damage such as get lost, ossification, stroke of midnight ans RIP (Mostly for sideboard) So I want to see what would you change/upgrade to have another way of updating the deck even more Love your content man, keep it up!

[@commandercrane]

I think a white splash would be sweet! I’ve always liked a lot of the white dinosaurs, I might have to try it!

[@minihas6817]

I play almost the same list as your first one here but with some differences: - I play 3 hulking raptor, 1 The great Henge, 1 volcanic salvo instead of the Rampaging raptors. The 5 power matters to cast the latter cards here, also ward is nice. But I see the appeal of the rampaging raptor. Might try that one out though and see how it plays. - I only run 6 elves but a single copy of Otepec huntmaster - I play 1 tranquill silverback. It is nice to "tutor" this up with commune w. dinosaurs sometimes. commune really rewards you for running some specific one-of answers I feel - I play 1 mutavault and 1 restless ridgeline instead of Lair of hydra. They especially help sometimes with hammerskull not getting stunned and are just cheaper than Lair.

[@czerwon00ki22]

but bro pls check how to pronounce my nick in google translate in polish xD unless you plan to meme about it

[@commandercrane]

I definitely will!

[@ditchwalker6064]

Now do giants.

[@ralphieboy97]

Could a 1 of Ghalta & Mavren work in Stampede Dinos? Or is that more of a win-more?

[@commandercrane]

Honestly could work, definitely worth trying!

[@parkerowens9140]

Do you by chance have a matchup guide for pioneer for the regular Dino list?

[@commandercrane]

This what I’d say the general matchups are: Favorable: Other Aggro Decks UW Control Lotus Field 50/50: Izzet Phoenix Amalia Combo Izzet Ensoul Bad Matchup: Rakdos Vampires Mono-B Waste Not Quint Combo

[@parkerowens9140]

@@commandercrane thanks for the reply. Do you have by chance a guide to the sideboard. Like I’m wanting helping with what to sideboard in exactly for each matchup and what to take out.

[@commandercrane]

I don’t have an exact sideboard guide but I’d say the most common cards I trim for sideboarding are Commune, Reckless Rage, and Ripjaw Raptor. Commune gets worse if we cut other Dinos for extra removal/non-dinosaurs as there isn’t as many hits. Reckless rage is really good against other aggro decks/amalia but in the midrange/control matchups it’s generally not effective. Ripjaw is really good against aggro decks but not as effective against midrange/control like rampaging raptor/regisaur alpha.

@@commandercrane thanks! I’ve been playing Dino’s ever since I started playing magic 4 years ago. Just recently got into pioneer and found your channel. Love the content and thanks for the help. I look forward to trying out your build.

[@commandercrane]

I do a lot of pioneer content on the channel so if you like spicy decks/paper gameplay I think you’ll like the videos I post! I also have another spicy dinosaur list coming out in a few days!
