Deck overview

This is a Naya Dinosaur tribal stompy deck helmed by Gishath, Sun's Avatar, built to ramp hard, cast Gishath as early as possible, and exploit his haste to attack the turn he lands - each combat-damage connect reveals seven-plus cards and cheats any number of Dinosaurs directly onto the battlefield. The deck layers multiple secondary cheat/value engines - Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant dumping the hand, both Etali, Primal Conqueror and Etali, Primal Storm casting spells for free, Pantlaza, Sun-Favored's discover trigger, and Sunbird's Invocation - so it never depends on a single payoff. A dense suite of cost reducers (Knight of the Stampede, Kinjalli's Caller, Otepec Huntmaster, Urza's Incubator) plus land ramp accelerates the curve. The primary win is overwhelming combat: a board of 7/6+ trampling, hasty Dinosaurs that outclass any blocker, finished with Akroma's Will or Goring Ceratops double strike. It is a midrange value deck that wins through sheer threat density rather than combos.
