Deadeye Plunderers3UB
Creature - Human Pirate (U)
Deadeye Plunderers gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control. 2UB: Create a colorless artifact token named Treasure with "T, sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool".
3/3
Dinosaur Militant5GW
Creature - Dinosaur (U)
Each creature you control assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.
4/6
You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
That dinosaur is a really expensive Assault Formation but that pirate creature has real potential--by the time it initially enters the battlefield it will probably be 4/4 or 5/5 with the option of becoming even larger in subsequent turns.
I like when creatures synergize with their own abilities, but 2UB is a strange cost to add rainbow to my mana pool, never mind that "plunderer" (to me) implies dealing damage in order to acquire treasure. Oh, well!
These Treasure things are like the Eldrazi Spawn/Scions in this set, almost as a way to compensate for the large casting/activation costs I've seen. I hope this gimmick works.
Give me an artifact Dinosaur and you've sold me. I want me some dinobots!

The dinosaur militant makes no sense. We have seen no dinosaur with big toughness and small power
Doesn't say only dinosaurs, it says all your creatures.
yay, we wasted a multicolor dinosaur spot for a weak version of Doran! Let's celebrate!
I'm sure it's not for EDH, since Doran EDH typically uses Meekstone and such.
Also, if it didn't cost seven mana, it might be playable.
Breya can have the pirate, but that's obvious.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Ugh, dino is unplayable at 7 cmc in a Modern Doran Assault deck.
They could have made it a 3/5 for 3WG and it would have been borderline playable in Modern Doran Assault deck. A wasted opportunity.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

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.

10/10, I tapped.
Doesn't say only dinosaurs, it says all your creatures.
And doran can take the dinosaur since it's a creature version of assault formation
Oh man, Breya can. Can't wait to equip it with Cranial Plating.
To assign noncombat damage such as fighting.
Agree he doesn't survive what I call the Doran wraths, but I'll still take him for my big butts edh deck.

So they can force us into to Grixis so we can play Beckett.

The pirate? Well, he's in the same color as that 10-treasure instant-win, so actually he may be powerful.
Fixed that for you. Don't be too hasty in assuming everything about the set.
Standard: BG Golgari Midrange
Modern: U Merfolk GWUBR 5 Color Humans UBW Esper Gifts GW Bogles
(The card design is meh, on top. One-sided Doran.)
The correct name is actually Belligerent Brontodon. Initial translations aren't always correct.
