Deck overview

Gishath, Sun's Avatar leads a Naya Dinosaur tribal deck that wins by cheating Dinosaurs into play. The primary plan is to ramp to eight mana, give Gishath haste and protection, deal combat damage, and reveal seven cards to put any number of Dinosaurs directly onto the battlefield. Secondary paths hard-cast big threats such as Zacama, Primal Calamity, Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant, and Etali, Primal Conqueror for value, then close with Craterhoof Behemoth or Akroma's Will. Gishath is the main engine and card advantage source. Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant and Cosmic Cube act as hidden cheat engines when Gishath is taxed or blocked.
