Dino Companion? by NerfedKid

Format: Commander

Commander: Pantlaza, Sun-Favored

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Naya Dinosaur tribal deck helmed by Pantlaza, Sun-Favored, built entirely around the discover mechanic. The plan is to deploy high-toughness dinosaurs so Pantlaza's ETB discover (and the deck's other discover engines) flips into free spells and more dinosaurs, then bury opponents under an overwhelming board of trampling beaters. Gishath, Sun's Avatar, Etali, Primal Conqueror, and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant are the primary finishers, each converting a single attack or ETB into a massive swing. Kaheera, the Orphanguard is a legal companion that gives every dinosaur +1/+1 and vigilance. A secondary infinite combo exists in Marauding Raptor + Polyraptor, but it requires a third payoff piece to actually close the game.
