Update 2.2 —June 14, 2018

So I went out to a local card shop and bought me Worldly Tutor. I also ended up filling the gaps (lands) with lands that do similar effects until I can afford to buy the lands I need.

I did finally test it out 1v1 against my wife's Equipment/Cat deck. Record stands 0-2. So the deck is really slow and janky. I never did get my commander out and despite having all the ramp and 38 lands, I could only get 1 or 2 dinosaurs on the field at one time.

I've also been watching the M19 spoliers and so far I see two cards I want to add to the deck; Gigantosaurus and Vivien Reid. I will be keeping a close eye on the set. I am also looking for Broken Bond for to add to the deck from Dominaria. Territorial Allosaurus did not appease me. A 5/5 for four is great, but his kicker really wasn't that good. If I get my hands on it, I might add it to the deck just because he is a 5/5 for four, but I honestly don't know. From Battlebond, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Land Tax or Skyshroud Claim, but neither one are really needed. Land Tax won't be a HUGE help since I don't run that many basic lands, but Skyshroud Claim would be, since a lot of my dual lands are also Forests.

Ixalan Park is still the #1 Gishath Commander deck on TappedOut. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT! I could not have gotten here without you all. Keep the upvotes and comments coming.

Austin_Smith_of_Cards- I am actually working on upgrading the deck. I am adding Farseek, Spoils of Victory, and Nature's Lore. Knight of the Stampede and Wayward Swordtooth are already in the deck. I don't run the Signets because I'm not a huge fan of filters. I don't know why and I can't explain it, but I just don't like them. I thought about running Atzocan Seer and Drover of the Mighty, but I have no clue what to take out for them. I also thought about running Mana Crypt, but same as before, I don't know what to take out for them. Pillar of Origins is only for the correct creature type, so I didn't run it. I don't run Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, or Explosive Vegetation because they only get basic lands. The deck doesn't run very many basic lands, so I choose not to run them. I thought about running Mirari's Wake and Zendikar Resurgent, but I have no clue on what to take out. Resurgent lets me draw cards which is something this deck lacks a bit on, and Mirari's Wake gives my dinosaurs a slight boost.

As I test (a very unfinished deck), I normally can get Gishath out by turn 5.

You could probably take out a Forest for Mana Crypt. It's a 0 drop that taps for mana, it's basically a land.

With the release of RIX, has that had any influence on whether or not you'd consider running with Enrage as more of a theme? I saw quite a few dinosaurs with enrage triggers that could be quite useful, so I was just curious if it has changed your focus or not.

bushido_man96 - I have started adding more support for Enrage. I also dropped a lot of dinosaurs that lack enrage (kept the good ones that don't have enrage). I am not going all out with the enrage support, but it is a sub-theme. I am still experimenting, but I think I will be adding more top deck manipulation cards and some protection cards.

Silverclad Ferocidons...you have twice in this decklist

nayaman - If you noticed I have a lot of cards twice on the decklist. I have him in removal and he's a dinosaur. Same with Ranging Raptors (dinosaur and accel) or Bellowing Aegisaur (dinosaur and support). There are a few others that I have added in two spots. I did that so I can better remember why each dinosaur is in the deck when I edit it. ;)

im really surprised Temple Altisaur is not in here

I wanted it in there, but since all my enraged triggers only do 1 damage to my creatures, Temple Altisaur was up in the air. Than there was the issue of what to take out. I had to cut a lot of good dinosaurs with the release of Rivials. There are a lot of good dinosaurs.

Changelings are dinosaurs too ya know. Mirror Entity is a pretty cool guy. Berserkers' Onslaught seems of interest to you.

I originally had changelings in the deck, but I took them out for there are a lot of good dinosaurs. Berserkers' Onslaught might make it back into the deck too. I really like Double Strike.

What do you think of the card Helm of the Host

CardTyrant says... #14

I like it and all, but I don't see its use in Gishath. Sure you can clone her and get more activations, but one or two attacks, the game is pretty much over most of the time for me. I like Helm in Nazahn decks.
