Itzquinth Hits the Ground Running
Itzquinth, Firstborn of Gishath brings immediate pressure to board states where tempo matters. This legendary Dinosaur has haste so it can attack the turn it arrives and also carries an enter the battlefield option that lets you invest two mana to trigger a focused removal or trading play. Itzquinth works well in decks built around Dinosaur synergies where you can target a strong creature you control to redirect damage and clear a blocker or finish off a weakened threat.
On flavor Itzquinth reads like a young apex stepping out of Gishath's shadow while still bearing that brood advantage. In practice the card gives you a short window to convert a creature s offensive power into targeted removal without relying on combat damage alone. Use it as an aggressive threat or as an enabler for favorable exchanges in the mid game.
