If you thought that a plane which had pirates and dinosaurs was weird let me introduce you to something even weirder. Enter the world of Pauper Dinoriders. 

When you see someone taming a dinosaur and riding on it that seems pretty ok but when you see a dinosaur riding a Vehicle well that surely is something of a different level of weird and yet here we are. Thank you Wizards of the coast for printing enough common cards to make this happen.

The whole point of the deck is to see the look on your opponents faces when you see one of your dinos crewing a train or flying on a sky skiff. For that alone I would rate this deck a success even if it does not get a consistent win rate.

So here is my usual Boros dino build of the most low cost dinos. Even if you don't get them to ride a vehicle they can pretty much attack and win you the game on their own but it would be a lot sweeter if you could picture them behind the wheel of a runaway train don't you think?

Don't worry this deck still has enough support for the sligh concept with Direct creature damage from Firecannon blast and Shock. As well Impeccable timing that deals with 3 toughness or less attacker or blocker. Not quite at the level of Celestial flare but it will do in this current standard pauper set up. Cathartic reunion gives you draw when all you have are lacking a vehicle or dino in your hand.

So let's go. Let the dino riders take you out for a spin. Welcome to the weird world of dinos crewing vehicles.
