What should you cut from the Tramplesaurus Rex precon?
Tramplesaurus Rex is the Ghalta, Primal Hunger precon, released on October 2, 2026. We ran the stock deck through EDHTuner at bracket 2, the same check the tool runs on a deck you paste.
EDHTuner names four cuts. This page shows the three that rest on the deck's own counts. Here they are, in the tool's order, with the reason it gives for each.
| Card | Why EDHTuner would cut it |
|---|---|
| Paradise Druid | You have more ramp than you need. You're at 13, and we aim for 10. One can go. |
| Commander's Sphere | You have more ramp than you need. You're at 12 counting the cuts above, and we aim for 10. One can go. |
| Loot, Exuberant Explorer | You have more ramp than you need. You're at 11 counting the cuts above, and we aim for 10. One can go. |
Where a deck runs more of a job than EDHTuner aims for, EDHREC's play data helps pick which of those cards goes first.
The other cut rests on EDHREC's data about Ghalta, Primal Hunger decks, so this page leaves it out. The tool shows the cuts it names when you run the deck.
The deck is short on targeted disruption and mass disruption. The tool suggests cards to add there. This page shows no adds.
How this deck works
Ghalta, Primal Hunger leads a big creatures deck that also leans on ETB payoffs. Its main plan to win is to attack with big creatures. Its 100 cards include 39 lands, 13 ramp, 15 card advantage and 7 targeted disruption.
What bracket is it?
By Wizards' bracket rules, the Tramplesaurus Rex precon is bracket 1 or higher. It runs no Game Changers, mass land denial, extra-turn cards or two-card infinite combos.
The rules also ask how fast a deck wins and what it's built to do, and that part is for you and your table. The bracket checker page says how EDHTuner reads each rule.
How its counts compare
Each row counts the cards that do that job. The medians come from 18,414 public Commander decks on Moxfield, collected in July and November 2026. Moxfield puts 4,822 of them at brackets 1 and 2 and 6,057 at bracket 3. The deck numbers page says what each row counts. See how many lands Commander decks run, from the decks we counted.
| Tramplesaurus Rex | EDHTuner aims for | Median, brackets 1-2 | Median, bracket 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lands | 39 | Playtested in the tool | 36 | 35 |
| Ramp | 13 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Card advantage | 15 | 12 | 9 | 10 |
| Targeted disruption | 7 | 8 | 9 | 9 |
| Mass disruption | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Protection | 4 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
Targeted disruption: 8 covers an aggressive deck like this. Mass disruption: 1 covers an aggressive deck like this.

All 100 cards
These are the precon's cards, grouped by what EDHTuner counts them as. Three cards show in more than one group, because each one fits more than one of them.

Run it yourself
The tool opens in a new tab and runs the stock deck at bracket 2. There you also get the cards it would add and every cut it names, and it playtests each swap it suggests.
The Ghalta, Primal Hunger page shows what public Ghalta, Primal Hunger decks on Moxfield run. The guide to cutting cards shows how EDHTuner picks cuts. The precons page has every other precon EDHTuner checked.
Checked on November 9, 2026 with EDHTuner v0.248.0. The tool reads EDHREC's data each time it runs, and that data changes, so it can name different cuts than this page does. The precon's cards come from MTGJSON (MIT license). Card data comes from Scryfall and play data from EDHREC.
