{"ops":[{"insert":"Hello! The deck looks sweet. I also have a Gishath deck "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/28#Dino_DNA"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/28#Dino_DNA"},{"insert":"\n\nDue to the general high cost of Gishath, I recommend running at least 3 more lands to get to 38. Even higher would be helpful. 35 is a bit on the light side even with ramp to guarantee Gishath will get in to the game ahead of the curve. In the same vein, I would add more artifact ramp with the two remaining signets. Or even cards that discount dinos like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urza's Incubator"}},{"insert":".\n\nAlso, I would try to add some additional card draw in cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elemental Bond"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zendikar Resurgent"}},{"insert":", etc. that will help fill your hand. You can help make room by cutting all the removal you included. I would try to stick with like 6-8 cards for removal maximum. You're meant to be on the aggressive and with Gishath having trample it's more important to have protection than removal. So trimming most board wipes is a great idea.\n\nAlso, don't be afraid to cut dinos. There's not a ton, but a lot are just filler that could be better with more ramp or card draw. Yes it's nice to flip 2 or 3 dinos off the top, but it is also quite scary for everyone else you're sitting at the table. \n\nI hope this helps. If there's any questions let me know.\n"}]}
