Valengeta on Triassic Trample

wallisface and jdogz32 the deck feels much smoother now, with consistent dinosaurs by turn 3-4. Regisaur Alpha provides board presence with disposable dinos and valuable Haste. The tokens contribute to Quartzwood Crasher's ability to produce more powerful tokens and can even Convoke for Ancient Imperiosaur.

I've brought back Birds of Paradise to the mainboard

I predict good synergy in Domri, Anarch of Bolas with this deck, might give him a try

Thanks for all your help so far!

wallisface and jdogz32 I've decided it's best to drop White for more land consistency, and then made a few changes:

• Replaced Kinjalli's Caller for Arboreal Grazer because White is now gone, it can still Ramp lands, it can Block better with Reach and can Convoke Ancient Imperiosaur

• Replaced Cryptolith Rite and Hunter's Instinct for Goblin Anarchomancer because it reduces my costs even further without having to tap

• Replaced Ripjaw Raptor for Quartzwood Crasher because I'm curious how it will fare, it's less clunky and can produce more Dinosaurs

• Replaced Carnage Tyrant with Regisaur Alpha because it’s much cheaper to play now, produces even more Dinosaurs and gives Haste to them

• Removed Birds of Paradise because it doesn't help with Convoke

• Added Thunderherd Migration to fetch me more lands

I'm hoping to have made the deck better. What do you think?

• Reduced Carnage Tyrant to 2 copies because of the mana cost

I think it's important to have a good 3 drop to start increasing the offensive preassure early, or to support the big dinos in combat, and Giant Cindermaw seems the perfect one for the job. A cheap 4/3 trample. Not many other decent 3 drop dinosaurs around. Territorial Hammerskull might be interesting to pacify a dangerous blocker, although it doesn't have Trample and it's weaker

I think Ilysian Caryatid is good for giving up to 2 mana, but I understand the allure of Birds of Paradise

I need something to draw more cards but in these colors I find it hard to do so efficiently. I was thinking about replacing Lead the Stampede by something else, maybe Hunter's Insight (?)

Boros Charm is 3 useful effects in one instant. It can help with the damage, save multiple creatures from being destroyed or give an unblocked or chump blocked Carnage Tyrant or Ancient Imperiosaur Double Strike for a massive hit
