Rationale
9cmc 10/10 legendary dinosaur with haste and ward {10} while cast; attacks trigger forced fights on defending player's creatures. Premier dinosaur finisher in ramp shells and type-matters decks. Three green mana makes it pip-heavy; high cost means slow setup and removal magnet in smaller formats. Off-curve for aggro; passive nature (no tutor or cascade) excludes combo/control.
