Introduction

Ever since the original Ixalan i got excited about the enrage mechanic and all the dinosaurs that brought this mechanic with them. So naturally i ended up with a whole bulk of dinosaurs that I carried over to a dinosaur EDH with Gishath, Sun's Avatar at it's helm.

Seven year passes, Ixalan returned and with it Pantlaza, Sun-Favored came to existence, Inheriting Gishath's throne.

Discover Pantlaza's possibilities

I love different. Do something clever that woes the table, and Pantlaza secretly has this in his ability. But before i continue let's first layout the directions Pantlaza can be build:

• Dinosaur tribal: The most obvious, Pantlaza encourages dinosaur tribal. And especially to be creature heavy, so the likes of Kinjalli's Caller and Garruk's Uprising make for a comfortable fit in this deck.

• Pantlaza blink: By playing enter the battlefield doublers (e.g. Molten Echoes, but not Panharmonicon as the Pantlaza trigger cannot happen more than once), ping effects (Warleader's Call or Impact Tremors) and blink spells (Ephemerate) we can repetitively blink Pantlaza and play around his "Do this only once each turn" clause.

• Exile: Discover plays from Exile and some cards like Delayed Blast Fireball/Passionate Archaeologist care about being playing from exile.

What else? Other strategies that i will not delve into could involve Birthing Pod/Pyre of Heroes where you sequence your deck's converted mana costs in a way to combo for a win. Or fight card strategies (Wayta, Trainer Prodigy) to encourage the enrage mechanic some more.

Combo's

Sneak Attack + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: A discover trigger on each turn

Mirror of Life Trapping + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: A discover upon cast and another upon returning from exile.

Monster Manual + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: Helps to discover each turn.

Delayed Blast Fireball + Pantlaza, Sun-Favored: This poorly worded fireball always deals 5 damage to opponents and creatures through being discovered.

Jeska's Will + Passionate Archaeologist.

Sneak Attack + Another Round/Ghostway: Keeps the board alive

Molten Echoes/Warleader's Call + Another Round: With a few creatures on board it's done.

Anti-Combo's:

Marauding Raptor: this pissed little raptor doesn't fare too well with other dorks.

Passionate Archaeologist: It triggers on cast, not on blink.

Scytheclaw Raptor: This ability includes us. With Pantlaza, Sun-Favored's trigger this can result in 8 damage to ourselves!

Earthshaker Dreadmaw: With Molten Echoes and/or Legion Loyalty and/or Another Round this guy can be hungry for libraries. Carefull.
