Most dinos are out of Standard now that the Ixalan sets have rotated, so you'd want to be looking at Historic deck lists.
As far as individual dinosaurs in Standard, Rotting Regisaur and Shifting Ceratops have their uses, the former in some niche black aggro decks and the latter as a decent anti-blue creature in place of Carnage Tyrant.
The next set, Ikoria, looks like there will be some new dinosaurs though, so keep an eye out for that.
I'd recommend Rampaging Ferocodon as well. It triggers the Enrage keyword on your dinos and it provides great pressure with the buff that comes with it (and you shut off lifegain for your opponent).
It's red and will put you into Jund colors, but honestly, Jund Dinos is a legit deck.

Finally found a fun deck to play in standard. Someone was using it during MagicFest. I didn't realize how Kunoros messes up so many decks. lol

Aren't these two separate cards? Rampaging Ferocidon shuts off lifegain (and is out of Standard) but Marauding Raptor is the one that hits your own creatures and buffs itself (this one is in Standard).
Oh nice thanks. These 2 were popular when last I played and I did see them in a few sets. I was pretty curious what's doable now so I'll look into Ikoria.Most dinos are out of Standard now that the Ixalan sets have rotated, so you'd want to be looking at Historic deck lists.

You're right! I got them confused. Both belong in any dino deck.Aren't these two separate cards? Rampaging Ferocidon shuts off lifegain (and is out of Standard) but Marauding Raptor is the one that hits your own creatures and buffs itself (this one is in Standard).
So how good is WotC when it comes to listening to player feedback? What are the odds they change their decision to make the Ikoria battle pass terrible compared to the Theros pass?
They do have a history of "making X decision --> r/magicArena cries --> changing X" ,
But in the other hand, WOTC are very at your face with their thirst, so you never know.
Well heres hoping. Because I was actually excited about the new battle pass until I saw it.
They usually try the most greedy version first and then depending on the backlash often walk it back.
I didn't think it was possible but Wizards of the Coast is somehow making the situation surrounding the battle pass even worse.

i did see a different deck each round, but still the usual nico bolas, 5c niv, teferi, and torbran
Yeah for me, it was 50% niv, but to be fair I was running just a standard brawl deck w no historic cards cuz I gotta save those wild cards for the new set. Also not gonna bother really with historic until the inevitable field reban.
I met a bunch of new decks. There was the the merfolk lord (Kumetra?), 4 mana Sorin, Gitrog Monster, Heliod. Only ran into Nicol Bolas twice and I think it was the same guy, we split the matches.
I was running a proliferate deck with Shalai for the first few matches, then a Kykar token deck with Divine Visitation

I've grown to embrace cat oven, Rakdos version reminds me so much of this old Izzet Pinger deck I used to play casually. Lot of pings and getting value off everything you do.
Got to love Azorius Control players that take ages to do anything. They act like they are playing in the Mythic Champion, but in reality it's Gold 2.
Edit: Whatever, I think I'm just going to take a break until behemoths.

Idk, any type of player does that. It's just as infuriating when RDW players are like... wait, I can't just hit face with everything? uhh, let me take 30 minutes to do some basic math instead of hitting attack all.
Decided to do another cube sealed because...well, I was bored. Went 5-0 with UW and a Dream Trawler and Harmonious Archon. And I have now cast Finale of Glory for X=10.
Torbrand in pingers sounds so fun. If I ever get into EDH I'm totally making a pinger deck. I don't care if it's awful.
Real player drafts coming this week to Arena, damn. A bit silly they are trying to sell BO1 real player draft as "premium to charge more gold/gems but that is to be expected from Wotc.
Also, mobile client again confirmes for this year.

All drafts having a Gold pay-in is nice, though it's bit hefty. The new drafts look like they could be more efficient at converting Gold to Gems but it might just be designed to seem that way and I'm falling for it hook, line and sinker.
So what's going to be remastered about Amonkhet? All those cards existed in Arena at some point but I'm guessing they won't go the whole hog just for Historic, and might settle for a bumper Anthology-like collection of the most interesting/powerful cards from that block.
Remastered sets are basically paired down versions of blocks into a single set for the purposes of making limited more focused while also hitting all of the constructed staples that need the reprint. Tempest Remastered is the only block they've remastered so far, so you can use that as a guideline to get an idea of what sorts of design decisions they'll make. Here's the original Tempest Block for reference.
Ah I see, so they still need to keep in enough of the chaff to make a potential Historic Amonkhet draft viable. That makes sense.
Yeah it should feel like a slightly more streamlined Amonkhet block draft. I didn't play Tempest Remastered but it sounds like a great idea and I'm excited for it. They can go back and fix at least some missteps in the drafting experience for a block.
You want to know the best card in Arena Cube might be? Folio of Fancies. Holy crap that card is insane.
So if you pay a mutation cost and your opponent kills your creature that's in play before the mutation resolve, the card that you paid it mutation cost will be dropped as a creature into play normally,
In other words, wait for the mutation to resolve before casting your removal.

But if you wait, they'll get the mutate trigger. You'll have to decide which is more important.
Yeah, Mutate just started to sink in for me.
Still, I expect a lot of rustled jimmies tomorrow.
I saved 3 quests for the new Mastery, then found out you get 3 new quests anyway after the update.
I could have had an extra booster from the last Mastery (and a couple card styles, but that I don't care about). Oh well.

Well I won my first round in Bo3 human draft. Ended up with 5 rares out of the draft, passed on 1 rare. It's a G/W human/ monster mix.
Edit- ended up going 3-0! The last round I was 1-1 and right before the game crashed, relog and face a que. Come back to see I received a 6 land hand... my opponent never got more than 2, bad way to win but I'll take it.

Lol, my first sealed pool is not good. I opened 3 different tri color enchantments (meh) and General Kudro basically. So I'm just playing value mutate creatures, some humans, and removal. *shrug* I'm 4-2 now so I'm happy.
