Veloci-Ramp-Tor is a preconstructed deck that’s all about these dinosaurs on Ixalan, that includes Pantlaza, Solar-Favored because the face commander and Wayta, Coach Prodigy because the secondary commander.

Bronzebeak Foragers is a strong potential improve from Grasp of Fate, capable of exile a number of non-land permanents out of your opponent’s. The Uncommon four-drop 3/4 Dinosaur additionally has an activated skill that may take these exiled playing cards, put them in an opponent’s graveyard, and have you ever acquire life equal to the mana worth of that card. 

Having additional mana in a Dinosaur Commander deck isn’t arduous to return by, which is why I like the power on Bronzebeak Foragers. The Dinosaur can briefly take away permanents which might be an issue within the second and I can spend mana later to drop it into an opponent’s graveyard whereas gaining life. The one draw back is that if an opponent is taking part in a deck that may simply return permanents from the graveyard. 

Sunfrill Imitator

Dinosaur decks wish to ramp up however want time to take action, which is why early-game playing cards like Sunfrill Imitator are so essential. The Uncommon three-drop 3/3 is an efficient creature to have in the course of the early sport that may turn out to be an enormous risk in a while. 

When it turns into a duplicate of one other Dinosaur, the Legend rule doesn’t apply because it retains its title. Sunfrill Imitator additionally copies the talents of the Dinosaur it turned a duplicate of, together with key phrases like Trample and Vigilance.

In a go-wide technique, Scion of Calamity is a strong top-end creature and it will probably synergize nicely in a Dinosaur Commander deck.
