Zacama, Primal Calamity
$1.90
Legendary Creature — Elder Dinosaur

Naya ramp that casts Zacama for nine, untaps every land, and turns spare mana into removal, life, or an infinite Sanctum of Eternity loop.
Read more
Zacama is a 9/9 with vigilance, reach and trample. When it enters, if you cast it, you untap all your lands, so with enough land mana the cast pays for itself. From there, {2}{R} deals 3 damage to a creature, {2}{G} destroys an artifact or enchantment, and {2}{W} gains 3 life. The deck ramps hard with lands and mana creatures, lands Zacama early, and treats every extra mana as board control. With Sanctum of Eternity returning Zacama to hand, each recast untaps the lands again for a net gain.
In the recorded games, the combo route was Sanctum of Eternity with enough lands to loop Zacama, finishing with Shivan Gorge damage or Blind Obedience extort drains. Gaea's Cradle, Rhythm of the Wild and Sylvan Library sped things up. Other lists played dinosaurs and won by combat, with Finale of Devastation or Craterhoof Behemoth closing games. Zacama's abilities picked apart opposing boards in long games. The losses came from disruption, like exile on ramp pieces, Confounding Conundrum, land wipes, or Linvala, Keeper of Silence, and from decks that simply grew faster before nine mana arrived.
