Teleportation circle would be nice too. It blinks at your end step, but if you target your commander you refresh the discover giving another trigger

Notification squad reporting for duty

[@GrazzetMTG]

Much appreciated!

[@HalcyonAcorn]

Loving the text highlight! Very nice touch 😊

[@VVaypoint]

thanks, combining finds from this with 3 other sources and my own experimentation and putting together my modified deck

[@lelandmeade-miller5081]

A clarification: with tranquil frillback, you can only choose each option once, so you're at most sweeping one player's graveyard.

[@jameelkurabi]

Yeah I had that called out when playing my dinos Sunday. Good catch.

[@TheRaptorJohnny]

Love these upgrade choices. I was thinking about Sneak Attack, but shied away from it because it felt like it would just read as "discard dinosaur, discover X". Monster Manual I had an eye on. I'm also greedy and ran Ephemerate as both a protection spell for targeted removal and to Discover 4 with Pantlaza one more time, haha. The great battle against The Great Henge continues... Edit: I'd also furthered my greed by adding Flaming Tyrannosaurus from the Doctor Who commander decks. Tacking on a Lightning Bolt to all the Discover triggers seemed too delicious to not run. There's always also Passionate Archaeologist, but I settled for big dumb flaming dinosaur.

[@jameelkurabi]

Great work Grazzet. This is my first dino deck so I picked up the precon. Appreciate your insight as always. Cheers.

[@Kalgalanos]

i think some flicker spells like ephemerate or cloudswift is a nice thing too. You can use this as a removel-counter or to repeat pantlaza's trigger (or every other etb-trigger like apex altisaur etc.

[@barrysetser3909]

Hoo boy, finally got to crack into this offering; now to see how Grazz fixed what is quite decent out the box

[@barrysetser3909]

oh look, a dino deck! Let's see what's shaking. Time to put on some dinopants

[@barrysetser3909]

Gosh, I'd almost rather build a Wayta deck on it's own.

[@GrazzetMTG]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@piotraugustyniak6591]

​@@barrysetser3909she and Pantlaza are great in Alta Palini as support. With her you can crack eggs on opponnet turns and with Pantlaza you will hit second for free.💯👍

[@chananokun]

Great video! I'm personally looking forward to the Explorers of the deep precon upgrades! It is already so good right out of the box but it can be better haha!

[@michasolowski7630]

Cant wait for Merfolks!!!! Great video!

[@Polemion]

Great Precon Upgrade! I think this is a very good choice for a friend of mine. He loves Casual and Dinosaurs and this Deck fits both. :)

[@SeekerOf7ruth]

The last of the decks my gf is interested in, absolutely going to get the Jurassic Park cards at some point for her. As for me, looking forward to Explorers of the Deep next week! As well as the drawing tomorrow. Gingerbread hype!

[@Xion1121989]

Can't wait to try these upgrades, @Grazzet!😊

[@TheLongIslandDashExperience]

Literally laughed out loud as you talked about The Great Henge lol

[@SuperPlumber64]

What do you call a dinosaur deck? A tyrannosaurus wreck! Great video!!

[@benrichardson5662]

The irony of Ghlalta and Mavren 😂 maybe the vampire is disgusted by Vito's heresy from the Church of the Dusk Rose

[@johnfrancis3203]

So far I've only added Etali Primal Conquerer/sickness and Ravenous Trex. Will consider these tho

[@Galchoo1]

DINO DNA!!!!!! Yeah, amazing deck as always... man, that moment on the Great Henge is just golden though. Just, the sigh of exhaustion and tired acceptance... straight up Rata level, muy bien. Now the next deck... ah, the Deep deck. Sure is deep. Day 806 of waiting for the face reveal... is there a card that you genuinely hate or despise?

[@GrazzetMTG]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support as always! Any yeah, its a but of a meme but that fact that green has some really busted cards that other colors would kill for (I'm looking at you white) does irk me sometimes. I wouldn't say that I actually hate a specifically - though there are a few cards that baffle me on how overvalued they are by players and by their price. Descendants Path here for example - the card was about $7 before being reprinted and for what? Assuming that roughly a 1/3rd of the deck is creatures, getting you a free spell once every 3 turns and the rest of the time sending it to the bottom? Not worth it. Now, if you have topdeck manipulation shenanigan's it gets significantly better, but not $7 worth. The exception to that is stax cards though, because screw stax.....

[@piotraugustyniak6591]

​@@GrazzetMTGPath would be better in merefolk precon instead in dinos.

[@notapplicable6985]

​@@GrazzetMTGI disagree, if you are a tribal matter deck, making sure you don't draw a non-tribal card is pretty good

[@bountiezzschokoriegel500]

bro with the best the BEST ideas ty man

[@danieldragotti2608]

One addition thays underated is the new caves. There surprising nice and there discover can unbrick you late game

[@xr9790]

Pantlaza Vs Vito be like: “Your god can’t save you here pale man-“ *T Rex roar*

[@Blacklionguitarist]

Panharmonicon is a card that jumped to my mind but I don’t know how good of a card it would be to build around.

[@roborob6033]

DINO DNA

[@GrazzetMTG]

That is a pretty good name for the deck actually.... I'm sad I didn't think of it....

[@roborob6033]

@@GrazzetMTG it would be more of a deck name for jurassic world stuff tbh

[@woody72691]

Sneak attack It's still a valuable option since it's just a red to put anything down compared to the clock which takes forn tap. I know I get sacrificed. But I believe just hitting the discovery. Triggers is better than just trying to keep a creature on board that more likely. Someone's gonna try to board wipe.

[@adamxiong8558]

I think this deck is the best one out of the others.

[@akira-qr4qm]

Yeah the merfolk seems better because of the commanders, but there's not many strong normal merfolks

[@supersalty_9459]

amazing video as always, and the great henge is still beating our wallets :(

[@rosearmor45]

You are excellent

[@piotraugustyniak6591]

Great video 👍

[@iancarloarancibiabravo2895]

Hello!! 👋 I would to know if "Carnage Tyrant" is an option to Pantlaza deck as upgrade. Thanks! Greetings!

[@sheaandrus-oak6546]

I only seen you raise the mana curve for the most part

[@IvanDraug]

What would be good swaps for Ravenous Tyrannosaurus, Hunting Velociraptor and Welcome to... in this case?

[@xr9790]

I’ve been going crazy on upgrades for this deck, so excited Dino’s are so fun! I ended up finding a hunting raptors and a welcome to, which obviously got put in immediately but I found this other card in the pirates precon I got, Contest of Claws. Is it worth the include? It’s basically ram through but you also discover off the excess damage

[@gwiszitstaxtime7293]

What’s your deck list look like? How are you liking by our Dino 🦕 deck

[@kwaesilaguer547]

What would you suggest taking out if I wanted to put in the skull spore nexus and growing rites of itlimoc?

[@robparizo4773]

Really don't know what Vito was expecting from the story. Small little demon bats going against a three headed Zacama seems like a bad plan my man.

[@tneC0mment0r]

I have a gishath deck already… but it looks like I might have to return to Jurassic Park and spare no expense

[@redwillow1853]

The question now is... Do I restructure my dinosaur deck around Pantlaza, do I just keep playing Gishath or do I keep both??? Decisions, decisions... 🤔🦖

[@WarmasterSidious]

Discover also is

[@kismet8010]

counting down the days until we get to the merfolks 😢

[@paulinhomadara]

i see a lot of upgrade guides but no one recommended a single piece of removal or interaction besides blasphemous act.

[@Badname2011]

Tyrranax rex is not in the precon.

[@Zeromus5555]

I dont like flash effects here. I wanna cheat stuff in, not pay for it.
