I think it's pretty safe to say that dinosaur
tribal was the last thing most of us expected to
see in a Standard set in the near future. But
now it's here, and we have a curious
deckbuilding conundrum. Dinosaurs are not
particularly common outside of Ixalan (though
there are rumors of coming errata to some older
creatures), and so a Commander deck with Gishath
is probably going to end up jamming almost every
dinosaur from Ixalan, some Savage Twister
effects, a few Rampant Growth-type cards, and
forty or so lands for his high mana cost.
Actually, come to think of it, that sounds sort
of fun - and when he comes online and you're
getting between up to seven of those dinosaurs
for free each turn, kind of good too.
