MTG - Naya Dinosaurs Tribal Standard Deck Tech for Magic: The Gathering - Ixalan!

[@TheManaSource]

RAWR!!!!!!!!!

[@datboii5465]

TheManaSource hi i have been subbed since 100k

[@dashieldmasta177]

TheManaSource Eh, R/G Pummeler looks to be the premier Gruul strategy this set. Dinos just can't keep up with getting punched for 10 on turn 3.

[@xxdarkdemonxxx4928]

No charging monstrosaur?

[@MrJund-gp3jh]

Commander dinos? Please?

[@dashieldmasta177]

Gishath is hot trash, dude. 8 mana is ridiculous in even a ramp shell, and this deck runs next to no actual ramp, instead using cost reducers. Without a safe ramp source, he's way too volatile of an inclusion, and while he can immediately connect, you'd likely much prefer something that outright kills at 8 mana. Even if Gishath can hit for 6 and you flip 3 dinos to the field consistently, you can just play out 2 4-mana creatures and advance your tempo more consistently, on earlier turns, and drop Tyrant for the final nail in the coffin once Ripjaw and Reigsaur have tenderized the opponent.

[@CodenameJD]

See, you hit the end of the creature section and I just thought "But...what about the other dinos..." That's why I've got to build the commander deck. I know it'll be a little thin, but I wanna play them ALLLLLL

[@irishrunner27]

here's hoping rivals of ixalan has more dinos >_>

[@ceulgai2817]

Fungusaur? Fungusaur.

[@irishrunner27]

Jonatan S sadly most of the 'retyped' dinos are awful.... but the new ones are pretty legit

[@doublebladed1266]

CodenameJD It won't be thin. Everything else is ramp. And more ramp. Every ramp.

[@solotopp]

I was so happy to get back into standard with dinos. Then there were no lottery cards and now all the cards cost a shit ton of money. GG.

[@meatrace]

You missed a trick not calling it Nayasaurus Dex

[@MagicarpOFFICIAL]

meatrace YES

[@Veon97]

Where is the Revel in Riches deck I was promised? UH WEDGE, what say you in your defense?!?!

[@ceulgai2817]

It's coming.

[@zonko]

Video starts at 0:00

[@SunniestAutumn]

ZonkoTheGreat 2000 A dated joke

[@dxpsumma383]

Veikko Elo I've never seen it before, so shut up!

[@superwill1238]

WOW, I NEVER KNEW THAT

[@ZeriocTheTank]

ZonkoTheGreat 2000 Thank you!

[@toastywesterosy]

Thanks fam

[@SadwichPunch2100]

Wedge dude I love this deck I've been playtesting it and it's fun and competitive. This is gonna be my first deck back into mtg after leaving in Lorwyn and I'm looking forward to trying it out at FNM when I finally get it assembled.

[@MTGOTradersInc]

Gosh I love the art. Still can't get over it. Also this deck is silly fun.

[@chrisgsauce]

What a great build! Looks super fun. I always get a kick out of your tribal decks. I actually built your cat token deck featuring Pride Sovereign and it killlllls!!! A++ would use as a build guide again.

[@sirpancreasjr3362]

The set isn't even out yet and he's already making deck techs for it.. Now that's what I call work ethic Good on ya Wege

[@lanceshadow5582]

I love your decktechs. I also love the way you speak in them I have watched other decktech videos and they bore me to sleep, you make them fun. My one suggestion: you should specify how many copies of sideboard cards we should have in the sideboard.

[@jholopez1993]

@TheManaSource is there any way you can play stream the decks and upload them to youtube bro? Would love to see you play

[@samk8005]

This is the first Standard deck tech I have ever watched because dinosaurs.

[@SOnZofHate]

Chandra, Torch of Defiance is a card I enjoyed extremely in testing. The ramp ability on the card leads into some extremely explosive plays, and it's a great top deck late game for card advantage. You're either pitching lands or playing gas off of her other plus one, and protecting it until ult is easy because you have a bunch of huge dinos on the board. I love the two main board, and I suggest trying them out

[@Dr.Kaiju484]

Thanks Wedge I built this deck in honor of my son, he loved dinosaurs so much and I would like to think i would have taught to play Magic with this deck.

[@naoku126]

Love this! Can't wait to see the commander version

[@elijahlyons8164]

I love the list, everything is important, not clunky at all, and don't even get me started on the explosiveness👌👌 great work

[@MetalOrDeth]

Love the channel you got me back into magic this is my first standard since innistrad.

[@Postmann88]

Your videos are always so much fun to watch. Thanks!

[@darkhyena85]

Alot of people commenting bout removing white...idk, you lose four dorks, thaliasaurs, the raptormaster herself, and a pretty versatile o ring...seems like alot of power to give up for maybe some extra consistency

[@donwininger]

totally the one drop ramper and the dino that makes creatures come in tapped seem worth it for the white. the power they add are totally worth the 3rd color!

[@ianlak6324]

darkhyena85 The main reason I'm running white is because Gishath, Sun's Avatar is so freaking awesome. Kinjalli's Sunwing and Huatli is also really useful.

[@slick_rickgaming1102]

Deck looks sick! First standard project target located

[@electronicshaman]

Looks fun, I played Naya dinosaurs at the pre and it was fun as heck. I'd have to find room for a Charging Monstrosaur for nostalgia. Plus it's such a huge beater. 👍

[@meatpuddle90]

i love the art in these cards

[@limbitlesskyle2763]

This is exactly the kind of deck that I wanted 😊 Great deck tech, as always!

[@Hayezy.k]

This deck looks amazasorous!!! I'm looking forward to pirates and a new u/r maybe grixis control also!!!

[@isaacroachford-gould9349]

Welcome......to Ixalanic Park.

[@IlNovazz1127]

Isaac Roachford-Gould lmao

[@JonathanHecht]

Hey Wedge. I saw an article picturing a deck that is (in the easiest way of explaining it) a Temur energy list that runs dinosaurs like ripjaw and regisaur and tyrant as top end but with the energy package of Refiner and cub and attune. if you can figure out such list ill be on board

[@XxThomdiddyxX]

I pulled a promo Huatli, Warrior Poet in my prerelease kit, ran Naya dinosaurs and went undefeated! Dinosaurs all the way! Huatli is an absolute bomb way better than I expected looking at it from the spoilers but in limited of course it's going to be great...I'm sure it'll be just as good in the Naya Dino standard deck though.

[@victoraguirre7486]

I've been waiting for this video for so long

[@DinoMan_6]

Dinosaurs in MAGIC?!!!!!! Ok time to play!!! Man the art on the cards are great!

[@obviouslylee]

I like Lightning strike in the main and abrade in the board past rotation. Strike is really good at finishing games.

[@frederikpamp1916]

1st of all i love your way to present the deck. I love plaing magic, but i dont want to inform myself about all the cards. So thx very much. also sry for my bad english

[@the1ucidone]

That Shapers' Sanctuary looks amazing.

[@friedpinnapple]

You nailed enrage on the head. It’s versatile but the effects arnt great. I recognize this is pre rivals but Forerunner of the empire really improves enrage making every dino a raging swordstooth and even makes raptor hatchling a fantastic late card as it double triggers Forerunner

[@zippity61]

Started with Naya dinosaurs at prerelease sealed draft -> 4-0, won lots of packs, yay! Problem is I have no Carnage Tyrants, Huatli, or dual lands which together would run me a pretty penny to find. For those in a similar situation as mine, I've been building the deck towards mainboarding the Priest of the Wakening Sun and it is nice, with opponents often 'wasting' a costly removal spell to get rid of it. Ranging Raptors work nicely if you don't want to buy the dual lands because they'll fix the basic land for you. I have also put in a couple other big dinos like Burning Sun's Avatar and Thundering Spineback in lieu of the clearly better but $30 Carnage Tyrants. Throw in a Territorial Hammerskull and their defense collapses. I have some mix of Shining Aerosaur, Sky Terror, and Grazing Whiptail in the sideboard in case of flying shenanigans. Again, this is to budget it down a lot :D. But for the full cost deck -> would you consider sideboarding the Deathgorge Scavenger in favor of the further-ramping 3 drop Ranging Raptors? It either ramps you up to those big dinos or dissuades your opponent from attacking at all.

[@EvolutionHelmetUSA]

I just played with a variant of this and did not lose a single game over like 9 games with my friend using multiple types of decks. It’s amazing

[@milanbhayana3518]

What about the 5/5 tramping haster

[@infinityminecraft7508]

Milan Bhayana dude I'm running that card At the moment as it's a good cheap budget card, but regisaur Alpha will soon replace that in my deck as it is way better

[@Kizer5Red]

Just shove Grimlock, Dinobot Leader in there, that is Standard Legal, right?

[@TheManaSource]

TOTALLY!

[@Krajcik1964]

Only if you own an original Grimlock Transformer, so all legal for me.

[@danielgraham1879]

Is he going to be in Unstable?

[@danieldeihl8237]

Naya is dope put ive been feeling gruul dinos myself

[@glytch5]

Damn.. that looks pretty dope. Always love a good three color beater deck.

[@StuMate87]

With the amount of tribal support Wizards R&D Team stuffed into Ixalan, a Dino deck had to happen. Well executed, that looks like alot of fun to pilot. I know abrade is cool and all but I'd trade out just one for a crash the ramparts (even over lightning strike). I'd like to see a suicide rakdos pirate deck with Sunbird's Invocation and Angrath's Marauders. Maybe no one drops, 2-3CMC creature focus like Dire Fleet Captain, Lightening-Rig Crew, Fathom Fleet Captain, Headstrong Brute and maybe Dire Fleet Walker. I also like duress so support it with Raiders Wake + Deadeye Tormentor. Topped off with a Vanquisher's Banner.

[@severusd]

I like the Hatchling for this deck. Also it seems like a boardwipe is the obvious way to stop it. Not that big a fan of Heroic Intervention but it could make the main list here.

[@cdmusic850]

Wedge you sir are the hero we all need

[@cdmusic850]

Also why no gisheth

[@donwininger]

awesome mana curve of small effective dinos all the way up to the tyrant! i was curious if u tried dropping 1 each of the 2 drops and add a few Rhonas Monument? i was wondering with all the haste if the boost and trample would worth a 3 drop. my theory was with the draw u get from the raptors the extra cost reduction would pay off for cheap casting ur extra draw. thx again great deck!!

[@EffinChat]

Hey Wedge! Are you planning on making an aggressive explore deck tech? I have the start of one in GB with the Counters Snek but I'm struggling with the curve and instants/sorceries

[@haxpet]

Now this deck is more like mine. Looked at Dev from Sbmtg but that one wasn't close. Shapers' Sanctuary is good for removal. If you can draw a card for each time they target, you can live with them removing some dinos.

[@Gabberag]

I was going to go to IXALAN PR but its too much hassle with work on weekends and depression. Ill live it through you.

[@creature2711]

Funny I got a new Jumanji ad in this video XD

[@WillyAndersen86]

Great deck Wedge!

[@geomundi8333]

After a lot of playing I sort of want to go mono-green. Any comments? I sort of like monogreen build. Lands that come in tapped or wrong color slow me down as much as ramps from white. Regisaur might still get played using unclaimed territory and drover; but not those slow slow lands. Mono-white finishing with its Wakening Sun Avatar is also cool spin.

[@nintendo917]

I would personally like to see an update to Cat Tribal for Ixalan. It's only fitting considering Ixalan is a tribal focused expansion

[@bartholomewfargo]

Looks like fun, Wedge!

[@benrichardson345]

When are we going to see your deck tech on the final Commander 2017 deck with Arahbo?

[@blakemonway]

Hey Wedge, have you ever used Huatli's X power on the Ripjaw raptor? I mean, "-1, Draw a card" sounds pretty good on a Boros colored Walker.

[@ceulgai2817]

Remember when Amonkhet came out and you did Commander spotlights teasing full videos? Well, I kinda went ahead and designed (and purchased) an EDH deck for Hapatra and it is GLORIOUS. Would you like the decklist?

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

3:37 sooooo half of ramunup red?

[@plainswalkerur8142]

Any updates to this deck since you posted this? Any updates with Rivals coming out soon?

[@bencampsall8563]

Any chance of making a budget version of the deck? I'm looking to get back into the game and this list looks awesome

[@davidtee7811]

The decklist in the description provided does not contain the sideboard list! Please update wedge. Thanks.

[@jasonmyers7380]

I still wanna see what ideas you have for a revel in riches deck. I was thinking going esper or grixis control. Leaning more toward grixis

[@bushwookiee4690]

Look wedge I love what your doing here, but I can't get off my turn 3 chandra train I've been running with my temur standard deck and now I can bolt your face with lightning strike back oh baby I'm giddy, can't wait to face this deck at my local in the next few weeks

[@TQDigitalMod]

I really want a Gisath in the deck, even if just a 1 of, I guess maybe for commander

[@yoerimtg3935]

I feel like you can get away with running 1 Gisath at the top end. You'd probably swap 1 of the R/W planeswalkers or 1 Carnage Tyrant.

[@Snaitf01]

What about the 3 drop land enchant that gives you 2 mana of any color? Seems like an easy mana fix, esp if you can attach it to your colorless land. In the same vein, I got Unknown Shores in my prerelease box - you can spend a mana to get any mana you need in case you're drowning in plains. (Miiight not have gotten the mana balance right in my first deck. XD )

[@ForeverLaxx]

Decks like these are why I'm glad I decided to settle on Soul-Scar Mage + Sweltering Suns for my Nest of Scarabs deck. Raging Swordtooth would be an issue, though. And Fumigate. Eh, still. Your Indestructible/Hexproof isn't so tough.

[@apy1985]

Great job on the deck!

[@Crisper333]

Great video Wedge, but I'm wondering.....Where the hell is Itlimoc!? That card NEEDS to be in this deck!

[@Jakey-J-man]

ive never loved naya more

[@TheFireMnky]

Next deck suggestion: Grixis Control in Standard!! It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun.

[@scorpionsmissouri5773]

TheFireMnky i run it

[@GRIMGORIRONHIDEROCKS]

Competitive Pirates would be nice. Especially if you can pull off a cheeky Revel in riches. ;)

[@wesleykimberling981]

Hey wedge I love the deck my question though is how does it fair against grixis control? At my lgs that's all that's really played and am curious this decks match up against it.

[@francescognerre2408]

imo either simic tempo or bant tempo will be the most fun deck to play

[@SunniestAutumn]

**UW Approach player's laughter in the distance**

[@BigMG86]

I have been waiting all spoiler season for this! Now here's my question, do you think nayasaurs could have modern potential? If so, what would a modern deck list look like?

[@jean-christophedancause5587]

Hey Wedge! I have an issue with this decklist: you only have 2 Commune With Dinosaurs, saying that if you had more space you would include more. However, I see this card as if it were the Ancient Stirrings in the Bant Eldrazi deck, which have a full playset of this card. I play Bant Eldrazi and the Stirrings often allows me to fetch for a Smasher or the land that I was missing, I will always have 4 main deck. Commune has the same purpose in this deck, why not include 4? What do you guys think? Thanks for your answers!

[@Sad7Statue]

Hey wedge, did you find yourself getting flooded at any point with dino rampers? I was planning on using only otepec and drover because I thought the 3 may be overkill.

[@justinhamm9819]

How about a Modern Pirates deck? There's ALOT to go off of to stitch one together in Grixis and I think it would be an interesting thing to try

[@Codence666]

I really think you need 4 Otepec and 4 Regisaur. Giving your dinosaurs haste usually gets in so much damage so quickly that your opponent can't react in time.

[@Gilgamesh-gm1ke]

1) I totally want this...kinda seems like its the best life to live. 2) with all that ramp is Gishath at all playable?

[@garrettshindle218]

I really wanna build pirates as they can go in sooo many different directions

[@dungeonhomebrewing3814]

Ok I know how dumb this sounds but I've been working on a budget build today. W/U Birds. flash,flying,board wipes, bounce and counter. It's looking strong, haven't started play testing yet.

[@kobydurazo5471]

A cleric, druid, and shaman walk into a bar... They leave having terraformed said bar into Jurassic Park.

[@zigzack54]

all of these cards will be staying right? no rotation

[@brianmay6045]

zigzack54 kaladesh forward stays.

[@zxxDarkLightxxz]

I like the deck and I'm definitely going to build a dino deck, but I really wanna run Gishath and Charging Monstrosaur cause they're so cool and awesome cards :D

[@kirkperez7947]

Is there a deck with Nicol Bolas that can exist in this standard format and be competitive?

[@gilbertz.9884]

I need that Ramos dragon engine deck that only kills with door to nothingness please! :O

[@shadow4934]

I really like ranging raptors. Why wasn't it included?

[@evanbecraft8201]

I'm a bit new to the game and I rarely get to play, and I want to start playing Friday night magic. However, I don't understand standard, do you play only ixalan in ixalan standard or can you play non ixalan decks in rotation?

[@bradmouland5661]

Looks great man! Was looking into making Jurassic park, I mean, Dino EDH. Any suggestions/a video would be AMAZING. :)

[@bloodorgy7590]

Angrath's Marauders is a great answer to Carnage Tyrant

[@mattmale7183]

I played Naya dinos today at pre-release.

[@AzemSP]

I really wanna play Grysis (I'm 100% new to magic, Ixalan is my first set) but idk what to do, especially considering all the grysis control deck lists I see are FREE against Carnage Tyrants

[@DeadBuiltLikeGoblinLackey]

Wheres the commander spotlight coming out?

[@ThePhantomphan11]

No Ranging Raptors?

[@nicholaskillmeier4895]

What's going to take on Ramunap red with zombies going away?

[@cameronreese8126]

Hypothetically, what would a grixis control deck use to deal with a Carnage Tyrant? I was thinking Bontu's Last Reckoning or Doomfall. Any other opinions?

[@sharktrap267]

Cameron Reese bontu or remove it from his hand. We also have sacrifice effect in the black trial, 2 mana sorcery.

[@cameronreese8126]

Shark Trap, Bontu can only be online if I sacrifice a creature, which I am lacking in a control deck. There is hand and deck hate in the sideboard but I'm looking for a mainboard option. The trial could work but is not as useful when you cannot repeat it.

[@sharktrap267]

sorry, I was speaking of Bontu's last reckoning, missed the 's at the end, my bad. the first sentence was to say that yes, bontu's & hand disruption are the only two means black has against it, then I remembered that we still had one sacrifice effect in Trial of ambition. My answer was poorly written, sorry. as for the trial, it's 1 mana cheaper than To the slaughter but is a sorcery instead of an instant. still very playable on it's own without any cartouche. the problem I see is, your opponent can and will sacrifice everything but carnage Tyrant, making ToA usefull only when Carnage tyrant is alone.

[@senpaibos2748]

lost legacy, harsh scrutniy

[@JohnSmith-fu2kz]

I run the 3 gods scorpion, scarab, and locust. it works pretty well, also I run rivers rebuke which returns their entire board to their hand

[@noahberman6992]

Do you think gisath is a good addition to the deck

[@r34p3r1992]

If you were to budget this deck, what would you change?

[@PeninsulaPaintingProjects]

Man you've just earned a s.u.b love the effort put into this and how I formative you are. Thanks!!!!

[@irishrunner27]

you don't understand how excited i am to see dinos be viable in standard... i'm ready for edh gishath though
