Now that Ixalan 2: Subterranean Looky-Loo has arrived, I'm thinking about how much I love dinosaurs.
I think there are now enough playable uncommon and common dinos that I could add a kindred package to my Peasant cube without messing up the other archetypes that bleed into those colors. And I've enjoyed the way WotC has been handling kindred decks in their limited sets recently, where whole entire sets don't revolve around 5 creature types, but one or two color pairs might have an associated kindred synergy, like the Ninjas in Neon Genesis Kamigalion.
My question to the group: How many dinos do I need to make this an archetype in a 450-card cube? 15? 25? Another, even higher number?
And another question: how many dino enablers (like Otepec Huntmaster) do I need? It seems like it would be really easy to overshoot this number, but if I don't have any cards like this, do I even have an archetype? Or is it just an aggro deck with a lot of cool dino art?
