The Dinosaur tribe got a flagship the way most tribes get one: a top-end haymaker that turns combat damage into a tribal payload. The design discipline here is the conversion rate. Seven trampling power means the reveal digs seven cards deep on a connection, but the only cards that stick hit the battlefield for free, and everything else buries on the bottom of your library in random order. That last clause is the cost: you are not filtering toward your best card or digging for answers, you are gambling your top seven on tribal density and accepting that the misses vanish. The body is built to make the trigger land at least once. Vigilance keeps it back to block while it attacks, haste means it threatens the trigger the turn it resolves rather than the turn after, and trample guarantees damage connects through a chump. None of the three keywords is decorative; each exists to protect the single combat step where the card does its work. And because the reveal cheats whatever it finds straight into play, the payoff scales with how expensive your Dinosaurs are, not how many you can hardcast: every hit on a six- or seven-drop is mana you never paid. It is the rare tribal payoff that pays you for the rest of the tribe instead of buffing it, and it pays best when the tribe is stocked with the heaviest hitters Gishath could never afford to deploy honestly.
