The Forgotten Valley of Dinosaurs (EDH / Commander)

Based on the classic board game "Dinosauriernas glömda dal" by Alga (Sweden) this deck is a multicolour deck containing the plethora of creatures that would have been found in the board game: Exploring humans, sea monsters, dinosaurs and other beasts. Artifacts and treasures found in the unexplored jungles of the valley generate magical effects and boost this army. And for the endgame, deep in the jungles of the valley lies Progenitus.

I got the idea when Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan were launched but I've used cards from other expansions as well. I've tried to use as much as possible from the Ixalan block, however, to maintain the flavour of the classic board game.

If there had been a five colour dinosaur, i would have chosen that as a commander. The alternative was to go with Omnath or some other four colour commander but at the end of the day I didn't want to exclude black and ended up choosing between Morophon, the Boundless, the Ur-Dragon (CMC10) and the cheaper Scion of the Ur-Dragon (CMC5). Morophon works great and it was in fact easier to put the deck together without dragons. I used dragons in one of the first iterations to boost the deck's flying ability but to be honest, it just watered the main strategy down and i'm quite happy with Morophon. If I don't get to play Progenitus, Door to nothingness can end the game, as can Flying Crane Technique; imagine 10 dinosaurs boosted by Flying Crane Technique.
