Card Abilities:

• Whenever Pantlaza, Sun-Favored or another Dinosaur enters the battlefield under your control: This ability triggers whenever Pantlaza or any other Dinosaur you control enters the battlefield.

• You may discover X, where X is that creature's toughness: When the trigger occurs, you have the option to perform a "discover" action. X in this case represents the toughness of the Dinosaur that entered the battlefield.

• Do this only once each turn: You can use this ability only once per turn, ensuring it doesn't trigger multiple times in a single turn.

Discover Ability:

• When you choose to discover, you exile cards from the top of your library until you find a nonland card with a mana value equal to or less than the toughness of the Dinosaur that triggered this ability.

• You can then choose to cast that card without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. The remaining exiled cards are placed on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Flavor and Lore:

• The card's flavor suggests a connection to the sun, possibly implying that Pantlaza is a favored Dinosaur of the sun, and its ability to "discover" reflects its connection to discovering something new or beneficial.

Overall Impression:

• Pantlaza, Sun-Favored is a versatile and potentially powerful card for decks that feature Dinosaurs. Its ability to discover and cast or draw cards based on a Dinosaur's toughness can provide card advantage and surprise plays during your turn. It's a valuable addition to Dinosaur-themed decks.
