Deck overview

This is a Naya Dinosaur stompy deck helmed by Pantlaza, Sun-Favored, built to convert every Dinosaur ETB into a once-per-turn Discover trigger that cheats haymakers into play. The primary plan is ramp into Pantlaza, then chain mid-to-high toughness Dinosaurs so Discover keeps refilling the board with free spells and bodies. Secondary engines-Gishath, Sun's Avatar, both Etalis, Monstrous Vortex, Lurking Predators, and Descendants' Path-produce the same "cast Dinosaurs for free" loop without the commander. Wins come from overwhelming combat (tramplers, token makers like Quartzwood Crasher and Ghalta and Mavren), one-shot burn via Chandra's Ignition, and occasional poison from transformed Etali, Primal Conqueror. The deck is a classic battlecruiser tribal list: high average mana value, dense ramp, and a thick threat base that grinds value until the table is buried under dinosaurs.
