Howdy! Gishath is a fun choice for dinosaur tribal, can't go too wrong!
In terms of general advice for cuts, I'd try to evaluate the cards in terms of if it wins the game or furthers your gameplan for the deck. For example, in your current decklist, Slayer's Cleaver doesn't seem to gel with either your ramp or dino matters themes, and it strikes me as a dead draw.
Also, while cool, Morophon, the Boundless unfortunately has the color identity of all 5 colors, so you can't "legally" run it with your current commander.
All in all though, I'd recommend focusing on cards that you enjoy playing, even if it's not "optimal!"
So with that out of the way, here are some cards I'd recommend cutting hahaha XD Frilled Deathspitter Thrash of Raptors Territorial Hammerskull Ravenous Daggertooth Frenzied Raptor Bonded Horncrest Rallying Roar Huatli's Spurring Slayer's Cleaver Overgrowth (There are cheaper cmc options that will both ramp AND color fix for you), Strength of the Pack .
Those are all cards that strike me as cool, but maybe worth cutting.
As for suggestions, Ikoria brought about a LOT of cool dinosaurs! Quartzwood Crasher can put in some work! I'd play Titanoth Rex over Ancient Brontodon as you can still cycle it for less mana, both are just big dumb creatures! It would take some cuts, but I've seen some people run Kaheera, the Orphanguard as a companion for your commander, so that could help you make some cuts as well? And for flavor Zilortha, Strength Incarnate is a flavor win!
I'd also recommend Kinjalli's Sunwing . It's a "hate dinosaur" that has evasion and can stall opponents enough that you can summon your big boy dinosaur! Speaking of, Apex Altisaur and Zacama, Primal Calamity are the biggest.
The thing I'd probably recommend adding over anything is Pyrohemia . It's a board wipe in a pinch (something that is needed to get to late game) and allows for some cheeky interactions that can be frustrating to deal with. It turns Siegehorn Ceratops Snapping Sailback and Bellowing Aegisaur into creatures that keep getting bigger or pump your entire team all while clearing the board for bigger attacks. Not to mention it also is a handy source for one ping damage for enrage triggers.
Hope these suggestions help! Happy hunting!

This is my first time building an EDH deck and I was curious what could be improved.
7 Mountains
8 Forests
8 Plains
I want to add in a boardwipe like Wrath of God or Planar Cleansing and switch something out for Wakening Sun's Avatar and then I don't have Command Tower or Reliquary Tower in and don't know if they're "required".

LittleBlueHero These suggestions do seem really reasonable though I am not such a fan of Overgrown Armasaur and the tokens but Needletooth Raptor is a good suggestion though its a bit weak and usually gets killed instantly it hits the board but I do agree about Bonded Horncrest.
I'll add the suggestions to the Maybeboard and do some playtesting. I think the
Ripjaw raptor
and Ranging Raptors will be what I'll be going towards now.
Any thoughts on Otepec Huntmaster? Seems a pretty good ramp but still dies to an sneeze.

In the long run I would replace Nest Invader with 2 more Raptor Hatchling. But I agree with Jumpstick that Ranging Raptors is a good uncommon to grab here since you want to focus on enrage and its one the best payoffs for a deck like this.
You could also consider Needletooth Raptor. Even as a 1 of it can do a lot of work clearing a board if not dealt with immediately. You aren't running a lot of removal at the moment so it could be a huge boon for you.
I'm not a huge fan of Bonded Horncrest since its a terrible top deck on an empty board.
If I had to pick I think I would do: 1xRipjaw Raptor, 1xNeedletooth Raptor and 1xSun-Collared Raptor and 1xOvergrown Armasaur. Ripjaw draws cards, Needletooth is potential removal and Armasaur offers you another late game option to help stabilize on a bad board. I like the sun-collared because it comes down early enough to be annoying, blocks 1/1 tokens and late in the game it can pump and trade with almost anything. So if your opponent manages to be bigger than you its another way to interact. Later when you can get more uncommons and such you can replace the non-enrage pieces. Until then its better to run solid cards than mediocre ones with enrage.
I would take out: 2xBonded Horncrest, 1xKnight of the Stampede and 1xNest Robber. The knight isn't that good since most of your cards are low on the curve and he's not very threating on turn 4. Nest robber is fine really but in a deck that wants to ping things hes not great, can't attach Tilonalli's Crown or get targeted by rile and such. Its ok for now but you definitely want to swap em out.

Yea, the deck is in currently in this state and I will mark the suggested cards or what I'm thinking on getting in the Maybe-board. So currently all the cards in this deck are what I own in the game.
Probably I should get one more Ranging Raptors and maybe Two more
Ripjaw raptor
. Drop the
Raptor Hatchling
or Bonded Horncrest or Ravenous Daggertooth?

Dinosaur Tribal is one of the more difficult decks to build and I have not built it myself, but if it runs anything like a Mayel Beast Tribal the only real glaring omissions are Defense of the Heart and Wild Pair to replace some of the more vanilla creatures like Bonded Horncrest
There are some other nice cheat and tutor cards Quicksilver Amulet, Rishkar's Expertise, Tooth and Nail, Natural Order, Deathrender, and Cryptic Gateway but a few land tutoring spells like Explosive Vegetation or Land Tax may work better with your commander.
With only 2 Basic Mountains in the deck, Dormant Volcano can be replaced with a basic land.

Cards to pull:
Creatures- Belligerent Brontodon, Bonded Horncrest, Generator Servant, Looming Altisaur. Opaline Unicorn, Zhur-Taa Druid
Instants + Sorceries:Fateful Showdown ?, Enter the Unknown, Explore
There are some other cards that aren't that great, but currently you don't have the resources to replace them.
Cards to add from Sideboard:Commune with Dinosaurs, Kinjalli's Caller, Obelisk of Urd, Otepec Huntmaster
Other Recomendations:
Pick up the Huatli Planeswalker deck. It has Huatli, Dinosaur Knight who has great synergy with all dinos along with Burning Sun's Avatar, Sun-Blessed Mount, and Goring Ceratops which are all good dinosaurs themselves. And who knows, maybe you'll draw some of the dinosaurs from Ixalan that you don't have from the booster packs. Also, I'd recommend getting the Feline Ferocity commander deck from C17. It's the cheapest of the set, it's in your colors, and you can break it apart and use at least a third of the cards in there. Not many of the creatures would be of use but there are great commander staples and powerful cards in the the lands, instants, sorceries, arifacts, and enchantments in that deck. These two decks would be good options to help enhance your deck if you don't want to just go out and buy the singles you actually need.

Drop Burning Sun's Avatar Wakening Sun's Avatar and Bonded Horncrest for a set of Charging Monstrosaur. He is going to be better to draw most of the time. Your sideboard could use some more removal like Cast Out Impeccable Timing Shock etc, as well as graveyard hate like Crook of Condemnation or Sentinel Totem and some enchantment artifact hate like Slice in Twain or Appetite for the Unnatural. If you can manage, I think Goring Ceratops would be better as another Savage Stomp.
