Pantlaza, Sun-Favored
Legendary Creature — Dinosaur
Whenever Pantlaza or another Dinosaur you control enters, you may discover X, where X is that creature's toughness. Do this only once each turn. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)

Strategy
Pantlaza is a Dinosaur lord that rewards you for playing dinos by letting you discover spells based on their toughness. Your deck wants to flood the board with Dinosaurs—especially ones with high toughness—to chain discoveries and cast free spells every turn. The discover mechanic is incredible value: you're essentially drawing and casting spells for free, which fuels your mana acceleration, card draw, and board development all at once.
Your gameplan is to establish Pantlaza early, then curve into midrange Dinosaurs that trigger the discover ability. Cards with high toughness like Bellowing Aegisaur, Marauding Raptor, and Regisaur Alpha create a snowball effect. You're looking to use the free spells—ramp, interaction, or more creatures—to stay ahead on resources. By mid-game, you'll have a wide board and access to surprising answers from your library. Win by either beating down with your dino army or comboing out with the right card discoveries.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive dinos like Gishath; use affordable bulk dinosaurs (Otepec Huntmaster, Cosmetic Disaster) and lean into green ramp with basic cards like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach instead of pricey tutors.
