How it grades
Fundamentals 81/100. Plays like Dinosaur Tribal and Tokens.
This reads as Dinosaur Tribal · Tokens, built around Pantlaza, Sun-Favored. A Dinosaur deck at heart: the creatures share a type on purpose, and lords, payoffs, and type-matters synergies make the whole board bigger than its parts. Tribal decks trade individual card power for critical mass, so keep the dinosaur count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Pantlaza, Sun-Favored sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is land count (38 lands. About 39 fits this curve for Dinosaur Tribal, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 6 draw effects (want 10+ for Dinosaur Tribal).
