Deck overview

This deck is a classic Naya Dinosaur tribal deck led by Gishath, Sun's Avatar. Its primary plan focuses on spending the early turns ramping mana to cast Gishath on Turn 6. Because Gishath possesses haste, trample, and vigilance, it attacks immediately upon entry. Dealing combat damage triggers Gishath's ability to reveal the top cards of the library and cheat multiple high-impact Dinosaurs into play for free. The deck leverages 27 Dinosaurs in the 99 to ensure reliable hits, quickly building an overwhelming board of massive creatures like Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Carnage Tyrant, and Zetalpa, Primal Dawn. Combat enhancements such as Unnatural Growth, Gratuitous Violence, and Taunt from the Rampart turn this board presence into lethal damage across all opponents over two response cycles, closing the game around Turn 8.
