So the Dino keeps going until he dies or your opponents got no creatures. O.O Though if you manifest or otherwise have it ebt morphed you can surprise block and then wipe. EDIT: Missed the up to one. Well If i get this deck this guy will just slide into Dinosaurs.
Love the scale t-rexs lol
Vraska is odd choice for the deck.

Well this Vraska's tokens from her ultimate will make ABSOLUTELY SURE your morph creatures get unblocked...

"Up to one" is for cowards, let me make two indestructible creatures bounce off each other until we leave the table.

Apex Altisaur is amazing - it's everything dinosaurs want and a great hit off of
Gishath, Sun's Avatar.
Vraska the Unseen is quite possibly the worst planeswalker they could put in this deck outside of the uncommons from WotS. Seriously,
Jace, the Living Guildpact would have been more interesting and had more synergy with the list and that Jace is awful. Even
Nissa Revane would have been worth a little cash. I love me some Vraska, but the card is aggressively mediocre and has ended up cut from every deck I've tried to slide her into. It's just too awkward. 0/10.

Dinosaur is pretty neat. But I do wish sea monsters got cards in such a quality and volume as Dinos have in recent years... kinda fatigued at seeing so many options that now the Gishath deck has quite a few competing for space in the deck. It's a similar issue for Dragons.
This Vraska. Eh. The morph deck as a whole is really a hard pass for me. I'm just not feeling it. Especially with all the Tarkir themes.

I am SO going to steal this expression going forward.
Also, WHAT THE HELL ANOTHER TALL DINO CALLED ALTISAUR AND IT DOESN'T HAVE REACH.

"up to one", that's how.
But yeah, this can become a mess to deal with. Just hit it with
Pestilence and now anything smaller than 12 toughness is vulnerable.

Apex Altisaur reminds me a lot of
Gruul Ragebeast. More upfront value, and works well if you have any way to trigger enrage on your own. Very silly if you have some way to grant it indestructible, such as
Spearbreaker Behemoth - build your own
Plague Wind!. Nine mana is a lot though, which means you'll likely want to be able to cheat it in.
....
Mayael of the Anima may want it, and definitely fits in
Gishath, Sun's Avatar. If you're doing a dedicated
Elvish Piper deck, that is also an option.
Vraska the Unseen reprint is alright. I'm not a fan of many planeswalkers, but Vraska has some pretty interesting play patterns. Also a generic removal spell, which makes the precon deck a bit more robust.

That Vraska is a potentially repeatable vindicate at only 5 mana. By that thing alone I run her with success in most of my GBx decks. Never a death card, never unhappy to use it.

Ok I'm confused.
Cast Apex Altisaur,.... it fights one creature
(during that fight it is dealt damage)....triggers enrage
Enrage - it fights one creature
(during that fight it is dealt damage).....triggers enrage
etc...... etc...... etc.......

Yes as it reads to me it creates a chain, albeit its up to one, so you can break the chain yourself whenever you like.
