Notes
 
This post-rotation Standard deck uses enormous Dinosaurs to launch Spacecraft into orbit! Curve Llanowar Elves into Sledge-Class Seedship. Then, station the Seedship on turn three with the Elf and a Pugnacious Hammerskull, enabling a turn-three Vaultborn Tyrant. Alternatively, you can tap Kona, Rescue Beastie with a station card like Evendo, Waking Haven for a similar effect. The massive Dinosaurs also fuel Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought, as you'll typically only need to tap one or two creatures to reach ten charge counters. Once you get there, you can attack, deal 100 damage to your own Screaming Nemesis, and hurl that same 100 damage at your opponent.

These new cards were precisely what Dinosaurs needed to thrive in Standard. In my games, the curve felt smooth, the synergies clicked, and the deck performed brilliantly. I went 5-0 in the Best-of-One Streamer Event and had an absolute blast. While it will need further testing against top-tier decks in Best-of-Three before it can reliably win an RCQ, the raw power and potential are clearly there.
