Creature — Dinosaur4 generic manaRed mana

Damage-reflection has always been an incidental idiom, a punish clause bolted onto a single body: Boros Reckoner and Spitemare redirect whatever damage they personally take to a target of your choice, but the redirection is one creature deep. This turns the idiom into a board-wide engine. Every Dinosaur you control becomes a reflector, so a piece of damage that lands anywhere on your scaly team all funnels out again at chosen targets, provided those targets aren't Dinosaurs themselves. That last restriction is the load-bearing rule, and it is not a courtesy: without it, redirected damage could bounce back onto your own Dinosaurs and re-trigger, spiraling into an infinite loop. The clause exists to shut that door. The design leans on the enrage tradition, the practice of building creatures that want to be dealt damage; where enrage on one creature rewards you for absorbing a punch, this converts absorption into aimed burn across the whole battlefield. A red board-damage spell like Blasphemous Act becomes the ideal fuel: point it at your own team and each Dinosaur throws that damage right back at a face or a planeswalker. The reflection triggers off the damage being dealt, not off survival, so even a Dinosaur that takes lethal still fires its redirect on the way to the graveyard. Fight effects, pingers, and opposing removal that deals damage rather than destroying all feed the same loop. The trample on the 5/5 body is genuine, not decorative, but it is a footnote next to a trigger that reads incoming harm as a resource.
