MAJOR UPDATE!!! —April 1, 2024
I finally updated my deck. Ended up not being able to decide on all the cards to go into, but most of them did.
TOOK OUT: - Kinjalli's Sunwing: Was a hard choice, but the control aspect of the card doesn't really affect the board as much as I wanted. - Ranging Raptors: I rarely get any lands. - Topiary Stomper: I only get one land from this card while my others make my dinosaurs cheaper. - Titanoth Rex: Tried to lower the mana value of the deck. >.> - Drover of the Mighty: Only gave me one mana. - Atzocan Seer: Only gave me one mana. - Wayward Swordtooth: I rarely used this card. - Terramorphic Expanse: Only gets me a basic and I don't run a lot. - Raging Regisaur: No trample - Evolving Wilds: Only gets me a basic and I don't run a lot. - Thundring Spineback: This was hard for me, but I rarely used it. - Temple Altisaur: Rarely came in use. - Privileged Position: I don't think I have ever actually played it, but I have plenty of hexproof protection spells.
ADDED: - Sunfrill Imitator: What's better than one Gishath? TWO! - Seismic Monstrosaur: Let's me draw a card, cycle if needed, and it has trample. - Trumpeting Carnosaur: Trample and discover five. Also removal if needed. - Wrathful Raptors: Makes blocking my dinosaurs a challenge and it has trample. - Poetic Ingenuity: I like to attack with my dinosaurs, why not get a payoff for doing so? - Regal Behemoth: Introduces the monarch, has trample, and doubles my mana. - Welcome to ... Flip: I run this for the land that gives me mana for each dinosaur. - Palani's Hatcher: Gives haste. - Savage Order: Let me find a big dinosaur for a quick win if I have haste. - Hulking Raptor: Give me two green mana each turn. - Earthshaker Dreadmaw: Trample and draws cards for each other dinosaur. - Hunting Velociraptor: Gives my dinosaurs prowl. - Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant: A big 12/12 with trample, but it also brings friends.
I also updated the artwork for my lands to all the Jurassic Park basics and Command Tower. I also got the special guest cards for Carnage Tyrant and Ghalta.

Profet93 Thank you for the questions and upvote. :D
To answer the question about drawing, I don't have an issue with gas so much since most of my dinosaurs have high mana costs. I don't really have a huge issue with drawing cards, but if I draw a dinosaur, Gishath cannot call on them later on because they are in my hand. The deck really revolves around Gishath and his ability to call on others when he deals damage. I have considered adding cards that allow me to return a card to the deck to draw a card. IF I get a second Rishkar's Expertise, I will be adding it to the deck in the near future.
Forbidden Orchard can be cut, I just haven't gotten around to it. A 1/1 spirit really isn't a threat to my deck as this deck has slowly become a dinosaur trample deck. So I can use the 1/1 spirit as a political tool if anything.
Yavimaya Hollow is an interesting suggestion. I tend to overlook 'regenerate' cards, just because it's not as used anymore, but I might switch out Orchard for the Hollow.
livingrock That is funny, having Gishath summon itself with Noxious Revival. However, since I play the deck almost entirely against my wife 1v1, she knows to block Gishath to where I can't get even a single card with its ability. I'm sure my LGS playgroup (if I ever get one) will also figure that trick out really fast since I almost always play dinos. Chaosphere is such a good card! My wife ran one in her planeswalker deck, even though I only have one deck that flies. If she ever takes the deck apart, that is one of two cards I have been eyeing.
Crow_Umbra Thanks for trying to get me there, but even if I did get there, I want more. I really like the fact that I've made a deck on TappedOut that people voted to the top of the list. It is something I brag about and am really proud of.

Elemental Bond and Garruk's Uprising are both good draw sources. I read your description and understand that you are not a huge fan of draw. Let me ask you this, how often have you felt you lacked gas? If your deck doesn't run out of steam in it's current iteration, great. If not, they might be worth considering. Also note Rishkar's Expertise
Yavimaya Hollow - Protection (and politics)
Is Forbidden Orchard necessary given you are only playing 3 colors, one being green?
