Drawing some cards whenever your opponent plays noncreature spells is huge, and the blinking ability means it’s tough to deal with. Nezahal, Primal Tide sees a lot of play in Constructed format as a control finisher, in the sideboard against control, and in Izzet ( ) spell-heavy decks. The deck played a lot of token makers to achieve this goal as fast as possible. Snubhorn Sentry saw lots of play in white weenie decks where it was secretly a 3/3 for one mana as long as you had the City’s Blessing. Keep your dinosaurs, destroy every creature your opponents have. Zetalpa, Primal DawnĪll of Zetalpa, Primal Dawn’s mechanics together make it effectively a 8/8 lifelink flier with indestructible. And old formats have more interesting options to cheat into play like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Griselbrand, and Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. The problem with rating a card type with high mana value is that most of them don’t make Constructed 60-card formats like Standard, Pioneer, Modern etc. Most of these cards saw (or still see) Constructed play while some are the kings of kitchen table and casual play. With all that out of the way, let’s dive in the list of the most notable dinosaur cards printed in Magic. Here’s how many dinosaurs have been printed in each color: Wizards wanted to do a dinosaur world for a long time because they knew that the creature type would be cool. Mark Rosewater on Ixalan’s designĭinosaurs debuted in Ixalan as one of the main creature types for the set, and WotC made them a primary creature type in just two other sets after that: Rivals of Ixalan and Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. Also, while the Warriors were okay, they were clearly the least exciting tribe mechanically. Yes, the Vampires were cool, but we had done so much Vampire tribal over the years that they weren’t as special as the Pirates and Dinosaurs. They were the two tribes that players were clamoring for that we’d never really delivered on. The stars of the set were clearly the Pirates and the Dinosaurs.
There are a handful of dinosaur cards that have been printed in other colors to smooth out the color pie and offer some deckbuilding variety, mainly white and red. Concentrated mainly in green since it’s the color of big feral creatures, beasts, and monsters, nobody can argue that all dinosaurs should be green or green-based.
