Gishath, Dinosaur deck by Koenecoen

Format: Commander

Commander: Gishath, Sun's Avatar

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Gishath is a ramp-and-cheat battlecruiser: the deck accelerates into the 8-mana Dinosaur Avatar, then uses his haste and combat-damage trigger to turn every attack into a pseudo-Cascade for Dinosaurs. The primary path is Naya beatdown, backed by an Enrage package built around Forerunner of the Empire, Marauding Raptor, Polyraptor, and Rite of Passage. Secondary paths are big-mana finishers such as Zacama, Ghalta, and Etali, plus top-deck value from Vivien, Monsters' Advocate, Fight Rigging, and Descendants' Path. Gishath is the sole engine; there is no hidden commander. The deck snowballs quickly, but its lack of stack interaction makes the critical attack vulnerable.
