Deck Strategy
## 🎯 Win Conditions
- **Big Dinosaurs:** Utilize powerful Dinosaurs like Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Colossal Dreadmaw to overwhelm opponents with massive creatures.
- **Counters for Advantage:** Leverage Owen Grady’s ability to put counters on Dinosaurs, enhancing their combat capabilities and making them harder to block.
- **Token Generation:** Use Giant Adephage to create additional threats through token generation, potentially leading to lethal damage through overwhelming numbers.
## 🚀 Early Game (Turns 1-3)
- **Ramp & Fixing:** Prioritize mana ramp and color fixing using lands like Command Tower and Fabled Passage to ensure you can cast your heavier threats.
- **Set Up for Dinosaurs:** Play ramp spells or cheap Dinosaurs to start building your board presence; cards like Snapping Sailback can help with early defense.
- **Establish Board Control:** Start setting up your defenses and plan for the counters you’ll apply later with Owen.
## ⚔️ Mid Game (Turns 4-7)
- **Deploy Threats:** Start casting larger Dinosaurs and use Owen’s ability to enhance them with menace or trample counters for effective attacks.
- **Interaction:** Keep mana open for potential removal or counter spells to protect your threats or disrupt opponents’ strategies.
- **Use Token Generators:** If you have Giant Adephage, focus on attacking effectively to generate more tokens and pressure opponents.
## 🏆 Late Game
- **Final Push:** Utilize the enhanced Dinosaurs to launch a decisive attack, leveraging trample to push through damage.
- **Finish with Overwhelming Force:** If the game has dragged on, consider using Ghalta, Primal Hunger as a game-ender due to its reduced cost and massive size.
- **Control the Board:** Maintain board presence and control any threats with Owen’s ability, ensuring your Dinosaurs remain formidable.
## 💡 Key Combos & Synergies
- **Owen + Ghalta:** Use Owen to give Ghalta trample or haste, allowing for immediate and impactful attacks.
- **Giant Adephage’s Tokens:** Pair with Owen to enhance the generated tokens, creating a swarm that can overwhelm opponents.
- **Kessig Wolf Run:** Use this with your large creatures to ensure they can push through damage even against blockers.
## ⚠️ Watch Out For
- **Board Wipes:** Be wary of mass removal spells that can clear your board; keep some creatures in hand as backups.
- **Counterspells:** Opponents with blue may disrupt your key plays, so anticipate and play around counter magic.
- **Aggressive Strategies:** Fast-paced aggro decks can pressure you before you can establish your board; consider early defensive plays.
