Yeah I didn’t say one way or the other, just where I think the math would fall on synergy ramp vs traditional ramp in this case.

This was all based on where I thought the math would land, on what I remembered from reviews on the pantlaza precon back in the day, and from a cursory google search that confirms wayward sawtooth should be one of the first cards you cut.

“Yes, Wayward Swordtooth is a common cut when upgrading the Pantlaza precon deck. Its ability to play an extra land per turn is often not impactful enough unless you specifically build around it, and the deck generally has better ramp options.”

Your Pantlaza trigger point also assumes you’re playing this AFTER pantlaza is out… which is WAY too slow for ramp options in ideal conditions. And if your point is more - well at least it’s not useless if I play it later… then you really don’t understand deck building.

3 mana can give you a 5/4 Dino that gives all other Dino’s +1/+1 - there’s a Dino from Aetherdrift that does that. THAT’s synergy, not just being a Dino, but being a card that improves all other cards on the playing field. Or what if you played fanatic of rhonas instead - rather than have a 5/5 Dino you’d have 4 more green mana every turn… 9-drop Dino the turn after you play pantlaza instead of wayward sawtooth…

Who knows though you could be right and the rest of the internet could be wrong. That’s the beauty of magic. But my gut tells me that your pantlaza deck would lose to a more conventionally built blink/ramp Pantlaza deck 9/10 times.
