Generally with energy, you don't want to be spending multiple cards building up a reserve to do anything. If you end up accruing some excess energy incidentally (like only spending 2 of the 3 when casting Galvanic Discharge, giving you one spare for later), then that's good, but you want each of these spells to still each do something with the energy to make them worth it. If Amped Raptor fails to use it's activation and just gives you energy, then it's failed its job.

Life Finds a Way only lets you populate whenever a nontoken creature with power 4 or greater enters the battlefield under your control. The rules text for Populate only lets you make a copy of a creature token you control. So it's practically never going to trigger with you're current build

Some general thoughts:

• Your mana curve is very high. I would suggest either work towards lowering the mana curve a bunch, or adding in a bunch of ramp effects to allow you to play those bigger cards quicker. Ideally you'd do a bit of both. If your intention is to keep playing Ravenous Tyrannosaurus then it probably makes sense to run a bunch of mana-dorks so you actually have something weak to have it devour (i'm sure Llanowar Elves and its kind tastes delicious).

• The other option to the above, is to not run ramp, but instead run a bunch of interaction to slow your opponent down. Basically tons of Flame Slash and Lightning Bolt to keep the board clean and give your Hunting Velociraptors Prowl ability an actual chance of being useful.

• currently with the amount of high-mana cards in the deck, you're almost never gaining any benefit from Amped Raptors enter-the-battlefield trigger. I would suggest either lowering your curve enough to be able to profit-from this card at least 2/3rds of the time, or else remove it from the deck.

• Life Finds a Way is an entirely pointless card to run when the only card you have that makes tokens is the second activation of Welcome to ...  ^Flip

• I don't think Rhythm of the Wild is useful enough to do anything here, even for a super-casual environment. I feel like Welcome to ...  ^Flip is pretty similar to this (it is more useful, but just sooo slow).

• I would remove Savage Order, you have very few dinosaurs with 4 power, and if any of these are out then you're already in a good spot (and swapping one for another seems largely pointless considering its costing you a card)
