Iconic. I Love it. I can't read the flavor text without hearing Dennis Nedry in my mind.
I also love the flavor of the dino. Picking up a creature, then dropping it off and the land does damage to it. I imagine myself calling out exactly where I'll be dropping creatures off. "I'm dropping your creature onto... your mountain." lol
Decided: wow that’s pretty decent your gonna shut down those decks for a turn
pteranodon: holy crud what a flavor home run and this is pretty bananas and I should tell you guys this right away Dinosaurs on a spaceship make flying dinosaur tokens (it’s missing nontoken) and here’s all the other options
I didn't knew the rules allowed permanents that aren't creatures to make damages to other things. Interesting.
Any effect can define something to deal damage to something else. Having the land do it here instead of the spell is just a silly flavor bit to rep the creature getting dropped by the pteranodon.
That flavor is too much... I almost spit out my Arnold Palmer when I realized target land deals 3 damage to that creature... the creature fell from the sky and took 3 damage

It sure does. Cards like Barbed Field and Obsidian Fireheart allow lands to deal damage, and lands like Surtland Frostpyre and Shivan Gorge have inherent abilities that allow them to damage things.
Besides, if the rules didn't allow noncreature permanents to deal damage, then there would be literally hundreds of cards that didn't exist (like Sulfuric Vortex, Dingus Egg, Ajani Vengeant, etc.)
All you need is an effect telling something to deal damage, and it'll happen.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
