Dino (Alex) by Aubinator

Format: Commander

Commander: Blue, Loyal Raptor and Owen Grady, Raptor Trainer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Temur Dinosaur deck is a ramp-and-stomp midrange build. Blue, Loyal Raptor and Owen Grady are a paired commander engine: Owen places keyword counters on Blue, and Blue's static spreads every counter type to each other Dinosaur as it enters. The primary plan is to accelerate into large Dinosaurs, grant the whole board haste through Regisaur Alpha, Palani's Hatcher, or Temur Ascendancy, and finish with trample damage plus pump (Overwhelming Stampede, Unnatural Growth, Finale of Devastation) or Savage Beating. Secondary value lines use Etali, Primal Storm/Conqueror and cheat effects like Monster Manual and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant. There is no hidden commander; the two partners form a single complementary engine.
