I saw this in the leak, but I didn't take it in was a 5/5 for 4....damn. Might need to make room in my dino deck.

This is some kind of distant relative to Polukranos, World Eater, and old Polu was plaued back in the day, but you could spread the mana investment for Polu into two turns and devotion helped it a lot. I'm not sure the RG lists we are seeing would drop any maindeck slot in the already crowded 4 drop line for this, bute we'll see.
Polukranos is much better than this.
But its still a 5/5 for 4 , so if that body means anything it will see play in Standard at least (as a lot of stuff is just 4/4 even dragons dont get larger than this in recent times ... at least we get some bigger ones now).
Polukranos was Legendary though, making this dino a decent stand in.
Palukranos didn't have Llanowar Elves to drop this t3 when you just need a big beatstick t3.

Polukranos and Deadbridge Goliath shared standards with the likes of Elvish Mystic and Arbor Elf; even Sylvan Caryatid (which was heavily used) could power them out t3. Deadbridge was also a 5/5 for 2GG with a costly upside but no downside and was not legendary, in a standard with mana dorks. And nobody used it.
Is not bad at all and is very beautifull card. Plus this is probably a proof that we will see more Dinos in upcoming sets. I am big fan of Dinos (have standard-modern and EDH deck) so I couldn't be more happier.
Maro has said due to their popularity they going to start making a few more dinos cards. Tarkir, Fiora and New phyrexia also are worlds that have dinosaurs.

At the very least I can't be mad at this. It's a fine budget alternative to Ripjaw Raptor and is just an above curve fatty with the potential to be a removal spell if the game goes long.
All in all, I like this scaly dog.

The probability of casting an inexpensive Ghalta on turn 5 just increased. I haven't seen that many people playing Big Green or Big Green/Red so maybe I should give that deck a try.

In all seriousness, glad to see the reference back to the "original" Dino in magic, Pygmy Allosaurus from Ice Age. I got a playset of that card when I started playing back when Ice Age first came out, simply because I was a dinosaur nut growing up. They had a first throwback to that card in Coldsnap with Allosaurus Rider.
I look forward to more Dinosaurs coming in the future!

Really feel this should be an uncommon or something, it seems meh as a rare. I guess they don't want tons of it floating around in a draft or something.
5/5 for 4 isn't that exciting anymore.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
Decent. The kicker cost is high ish but the reward is there. Looks like a Polukranos that goes off on cast and doesn't pump itself. There are a lot of high ish drop dinos though.

When Territorial Allosaurus enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, it fights another target creature.

But it did have Elvish Mystic and Deathrite Shaman, so, yeah it’ll see play.

But seriously I hope Muraganda happens since that's another plane that has just as many or more dinosaurs as ixalan has.
Vanilla theme is possible and not necessary focused on that.
