Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Naya Dinosaur stompy deck centered on Gishath, Sun's Avatar. Its strategy is straightforward and explosive: accelerate mana development during the first three turns using a dense suite of low-cost ramp spells, cast Gishath on Turn 5 (or Turn 4 with fast mana), and attack immediately. Dealing combat damage triggers Gishath to cheat high-impact Dinosaurs like Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant, Apex Altisaur, and Pantlaza, Sun-Favored directly onto the battlefield. The deck backs up this aggressive game plan with robust protection spells such as Teferi's Protection, Galadriel's Dismissal, and Boros Charm to shield its board against sweepers. It closes out the game over two combat steps through overwhelming trample damage, overrun effects like Akroma's Will, and secondary value engines like The Great Henge.
