So apparently making a Ripjaw Raptor makes you smarter or at least gives you more ideas. In any case once you trigger it's enrage ability you get to draw a card.

Card advantage has traditionally been given to cards of the blue persuasion so I was happy to see this on a green card. A 4 mana creature that also happens to have a 4/5 body. 

No matter how you look at it this dino was meant to attack , take damage and let you draw a card.

Of course there would be several ways to trigger enrage and I wrote 3 separate articles on how you could do this. You could read them somewhere in this page as well.

I just like the idea of having a Honden of Infinite Rage and you have an extra draw on your upkeep with the Ripjaw Raptor.Or you could use this other card. Rile. Now you net two cards for the price of a single Red Mana! 

Or like I said you could just attack and leave the choice up to your opponent. And the choices are as follows:

1)  He or she lets you deal the 4 damage and you bring him closer to death but have no card draw.

2) He or she blocks with a weaker creature , that creature dies and you get to draw a card. Removing a future blocker and maybe drawing another Dino finisher or Lightning Strike.

3)He or she blocks with a bigger creature , Ripjaw Raptor dies but you still get a card which could be the next dino that you will be casting. Maybe another Ripjaw Raptor.

Or they can just Doomblade the Raptor while it is attacking and just negate  your  future card advantage.Oh well. Of all the scenarios that doomblade one is the one I want to see the least.

Of course 3 out of 4 scenarios is not really bad. A 75% chance of drawing a fresh card isn't really bad at all, Go Dino's! Time to brew that R/G deck now. Thank you for reading and keep on brewing.
