Deck overview

This deck is a Naya Dinosaur Midrange build piloted by Pantlaza, Sun-Favored. The primary game plan curves low-cost ramp spells and cost-reducers into a Turn 4 Pantlaza deployment. Pantlaza's Discover trigger instantly cascades into additional ramp or utility. From Turn 5 onward, the deck casts high-toughness Dinosaurs to trigger large Discover values, rapidly flooding the battlefield with massive trampling threats. Haste enablers such as Palani's Hatcher, Regisaur Alpha, and Rhythm of the Wild allow newly cascaded threats to attack immediately, while token engines like Quartzwood Crasher and Ghalta and Mavren scale combat damage across multiple opponents. Premier defensive spells including Heroic Intervention, Teferi's Protection, and Boros Charm protect large boards against sweepers, allowing the deck to close games through combat by Turn 7. The deck also features a two-card infinite trigger loop between Marauding Raptor and Polyraptor.
