My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Okay, so it is inexpensive dinosaur support which should be trivial to activate with a turn 2 Raptor Hatchling or turn 3 Ranging Raptors. The Huatli's Snubhorn is a better choice but it exists only in the planeswalker deck.
Fencing Ace, is that you? Have you come back again except now you are using a lance instead of a rapier and need a dinosaur to wake up in the morning?

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

There is also the pterodactyl with flying and menace.
I like this card. WR dinosaurs starts to looks better and better. I'm just not sure what pump effects we could play to break it. Hope there is something that naturally fits into the deck.

Would you like to read Commander stories? Check my latest stories, coming from Lorwyn and Innistrad: Ghoulcaller Gisa and Doran, The Siege Tower! If you like my writing, ask me to write something for your commander as well!

Planeswalker deck cards are standard legal though, right?

Yep. Though I'm not sure this one drop is enough reason to play a french vanilla creature. The pterossaur keywords are more relevant (flying and menace) than the snubhorn's. The only way I can see snuborn's being played is if you have lots of payoff spells like this one mana dude.
Reminds of the old original innistrad zombie deck that had to play walking corpse because there were no good zombies for 2, only 1 (gravecrawler, diregraf ghoul) and 3 (geralf's messenger, the UB lord).

I have a Modern Soulflayer deck, so I am used to jumping through hoops for my double strike. This however just doesn't have enough payoff to be worthwhile. I doubt this makes the 23 in Dinosaur tribal Limited most of the time, and never in Standard.
Dinosaur deck still needs a great one drop. Unless they reprint something like Rancor this isn't it. Firebreathing would be cool too. Dinosaurs breathe fire, right?
Not bad, will certainly make dinos a bit better, although if there is a dino deck with white in it as it seems like they are pretty R/G right now.
I'm building dinosaurs right now and I got zero use for a card like this in the deck. This is for more of an aggro build than a mid-range one. I don't think dinosaurs will fair well if control is a thing since they depend a lot on value to win the day.

I honestly thought of Kor Duelist. One mana, check. One power, check. Double strike with a hoop, check.
"My mount and I are stronger together than we are apart." Really phoning it in now, aren't we, flavor text people?

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Read my other stories as well (some ongoing):
Reaper King (a horror story), Kaalia of the Vast (an origin story), Sequels for Innistrad (Alternative sequels for Inn), Grey Areas (Odric's fanfic), Royal Succession (goblins),The Tracker's Message (eldrazi on Innistrad) and Ugin and his Eye (the end of OGW).

The narrow synergy makes the cards cheaper to cast and very powerful when built around. Tribal elves is like a tsunami when built right, for example.
