Do Lizard Beasts Count as Dinosaurs in Magic The Gathering?
As someone who's played MTG since the 90s, I always get a kick out of this question. Nope, Lizard Beasts are not Dinosaurs. Think of it like all thumbs being fingers but not all fingers being thumbs. Different categories, my friend.

Lizard Beasts and Dinosaurs are actually treated as distinct creature types in MTG. While they might share some thematic and visual similarities, they don't count as the same in terms of gameplay and card interactions. So, a spell or ability that affects Dinosaurs won't necessarily affect Lizard Beasts, and vice versa. Always check your card's typeline!
Nah, Lizard Beasts ain't Dinosaurs in MTG. Different creatures, different rules. Keep your Lizards and your Dinos straight when you're building those decks!
