Riposte of the Pack
Wrathful Raptors is a straightforward red threat that converts incoming harm into offense. At six mana you get a 5 5 trampler that punishes opponents who try to block or chip away at your dinosaurs. The triggered ability reads cleanly in multiplayer play and scales with mass damage effects and sacrifice themes, so it pairs well with board sweepers that leave some creatures alive to trade or with damage redirection tricks.
Use this card as a central piece in any dinosaur heavy deck where you expect combat trades. The card rewards careful sequencing and favors decks that can reliably put multiple creatures in harm's way. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore these raptors hunt on the move and turn wounds into retribution. Practical players will find it a resilient finisher that turns removal into reach.
