turn 2: duress opponent's removal
turn 3: rotting regisaur
turn 4: discard first-sphere gargantua to the regisaur on upkeep. use unearth ability of gargantua. Attack with a 7/6, a 5/4 haste, and draw a card from the gargantua coming to play.
I'm sensing that either Polyraptor or Marauding Raptor are going to get banned, for the same reasons that Felidar Guardian got banned because of its combo with Saheeli Rai. Since Polyraptor's been out longer and MarRaptor has a lot of neat interactions with other Dinosaurs, I'm guessing Polyraptor gets the hammer. That, or they emergency errata MarRaptor to say "may".
So, more Pirates when?
If they errataed it at "may" it would push it into mythic powerlevel. A 2 mana 2/3 that makes all your creatures cost 1 less with no restrictions and no downside? That's a little too much.
If they don't ban polyraptor I would love to see videos of people trying to break Arena with those 2
Unless they just make it so that the personal timer for the player who is comboing starts to run out and actually give the victory to their opponent for timeout.
Or they stop the combo, try to attack and then Settle the Wreckage their face.
As long as the way is clear for the Marauding Raptor, settle isn't gonna help all that much. MarRaptor gets +infinite/+0 from the loop.
So what? They have an "infinte"/3 raptor that attacks and gets exiled before the damage step... Or all the tokens if the opponent is stupid enough to attack with everything (after giving them haste).

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
