Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
This deck is intended for first-time players. To make a beginner friendly deck I decide to keep the deck extra simple, so that the new player can focus on getting to know the rules, tactics and understanding what's going on.

[u]Cardpool and Budget[/u]
Mass-strengthening-effects (+x/+x to all creatures) and cards with multiple effects are not allowed. Lands are limited to Common's and Uncommon's, no Rare's or Mythic's. Other cards are limited to Common's, Uncommon's and 1 Rare (max. 4 copies) per deck, no Mythic's.
The overall budget should be between 15 to 20$. (Estimated mid value).

[u]Upgradeability/ Room for improvements[/u]
This deck is bound to a special mechanic, named "Enrage" and a special tribal, named "Dinosaur". Enrage provides you with benefits whenever one of your Enrage creatures is dealt damage.
A deck that is only constructed around a certain keyword is very hard to keep up to date and to improve on. New editions will rarely contain cards with the keyword, but you can try to look for cards that improve the general strategy or support side of the deck.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other beginner decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

[u]Conclusions from the tests[/u]
Tough not a rare creature [[Bellowing Aegisaur]] is the star of this deck as he allows you to grow your other creatures stronger quite a bit. [[Kinjalli's Caller]] and [[Ranging Raptors]] help you to get the mana together to cast him. The problems are decks that are way more aggressive and faster, because the dinosaurs need some time to get their part together and gain strength.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

[[Kinjalli's Caller]] helps to reduce the costs for (nearly) all your dinosaur spells, and thus quickens the game up quite a bit. [[Ranging Raptors]] further helps you to gain mana quickly.
[[Prey Upon]] and [[Savage Stomp]] use [[Savage Stomp]] and [[Prey Upon]] to remove valuable creatures on your opponents side and activate Enrage on your own creatures. [[Hail Storm]] can activate the Enrage ability of all your creatures at once, and is best used when an opponent attacks.
