MTG Standard Deck: RG Dinosaurs





This is the deck I have been brewing/playing for the past 10 days or so in the current Standard format. The idea was to come up with a deck which would have good game against both Esper Dragons and Red Aggro. Basically, I've combined the Deathmist Raptor/Den Protector Engine with a RG Dragons shell, and added Goblin Rabblemaster, giving it an aggressive bent, with a "Bees" package out of the sideboard for decks with lots of ground creatures. The following is a list with which I 4-0d a daily event on MTGO last Saturday:


24 Land:
8 Forest
1 Haven of the Spirit Dragon
5 Mountain
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Temple of Abandon
2 Rugged Highlands

2 Instant:
2 Lightning Strike

1 Planeswalker:
1 Chandra, Pyromaster

33 Creature:
1 Elvish Mystic
3 Avatar of the Resolute
4 Scaleguard Sentinels
4 Den Protector
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
1 Boon Satyr
3 Courser of Kruphix
4 Deathmist Raptor
2 Ashcloud Phoenix
4 Thunderbreak Regent
3 Stormbreath Dragon

Sideboard:
2 Roast
2 Scouring Sands
1 Heir of the Wilds
1 Setessan Tactics
4 Hornet Nest
1 Boon Satyr
1 Collected Company
2 Destructive Revelry
1 Tormod's Crypt



 Since then I've made some updates:



24 Land:
8 Forest
1 Haven of the Spirit Dragon
4 Mountain
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Temple of Abandon
3 Rugged Highlands

3 Instant:
3 Draconic Roar

1 Planeswalker:
1 Chandra, Pyromaster

32 Creature:
1 Heir of the Wilds
3 Avatar of the Resolute
4 Scaleguard Sentinels
4 Den Protector
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
3 Courser of Kruphix
4 Deathmist Raptor
2 Ashcloud Phoenix
4 Thunderbreak Regent
3 Stormbreath Dragon

Sideboard:
3 Roast
1 Scouring Sands
1 Setessan Tactics
4 Hornet Nest
2 Boon Satyr
1 Collected Company
2 Destructive Revelry
1 Harness by Force


I think I achieved my goal of having good matchups vs Red and Control, though I do think I have an unfavourable matchup vs the other big deck in the format, Abzan Aggro. The deck is still a work in progress, and I hope to go in some more depth soon.
