Deck overview

This Naya Dinosaur deck ramps aggressively in the opening turns using mana rocks, land-search sorceries, and tribal cost reducers. The primary game plan revolves around casting Gishath, Sun's Avatar on Turn 5. Thanks to native haste and trample, Gishath attacks immediately and cheats multiple massive Dinosaurs from the top of the library onto the battlefield upon dealing combat damage. Standalone powerhouses such as Pantlaza, Sun-Favored, Etali, Primal Storm, Quartzwood Crasher, and Ghalta, Primal Hunger compound this pressure rapidly. The deck closes out games through overwhelming trample damage by Turn 7, defended by board protection spells like Heroic Intervention and Boros Charm.
