Format: Commander

Commander: Pantlaza, Sun-Favored

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Pantlaza, Sun-Favored leads a Naya Dinosaur beatdown deck that turns raw toughness into free spells. The primary plan is to cast Pantlaza on curve, then play one big Dinosaur each turn to trigger discover, cheat out additional threats, and finish with trampling, hasty attackers. Secondary paths include flickering Pantlaza with Cloudshift, Ephemerate, or Eerie Interlude to reset its once-per-turn discover, and using enrage payoffs like Ripjaw Raptor, Ranging Raptors, and Wrathful Raptors to convert damage into cards, lands, or direct damage. The commander is the engine and card-advantage source; there is no hidden commander. The deck wins through combat damage, usually with Ghalta, Ghalta and Mavren, and token producers.
