Though the very first Dinosaur card debuted alongside Magic s first set (Fungusaur in Alpha ), many Dino cards were not immediately given the creature type save for Ice Age s Pygmy Allosaurus and the type was later removed in favor of Lizard or Lizard Beast. Then, enter the Ixalan block, which brought back the type from the dead and provided myriad kindred synergies that made Dinosaur decks a viable and deeply enjoyable strategy, especially in Commander
Phoenixes often synergize with strategies that involve discard, self-sacrifice, or direct damage, making them a natural fit for decks that thrive on aggression and resource recovery
Once you have the total CMC of the nonland cards in your deck, the next step is to divide this number by the number of nonland cards in your deck
Not only that, this card has a good amount of willpower and lore-generating capability too, since each quest gets you three lore, so it can tank some damage and still help you win the game.
Erhnam Burnem was my favourite deck back in the days
