Hi,

This looks fun, but if I may: it's not fast. There's a very simple reason for this. Your deck contains no additional mana sources other than lands and no ramp. On top of that, most creatures in your deck are very expensive to cast. Considering that you don't seem to be on a budget, I'd recommend the following cards:

• Add ramp cards like Burgeoning, Exploration, Topiary Stomper and Wayward Swordtooth. Being able to play more lands per turn will increase the deck's speed dramatically.
• Add some mana rocks like Arcane Signet, Chromatic Lantern, Patchwork Banner and Sol Ring to provide you with additional mana.
• Try to cheapen the casting of dinosaurs with cards like Herald's Horn and Urza's Incubator.
• Include some ramp sorceries that allow you to fetch good lands for a low amount of required mana, like Farseek, Nature's Lore and Three Visits

Aside from all the above, you can also increase the deck's speed by adding stuff that allows you to filter through your deck like Scroll Rack and Sensei's Divining Top. Last but not least, Monstrous Vortex seems to be very suitable to the deck's overall theme and strategy.

Since you're in green, you have some pretty good options for ramp for two mana. Oketra's Monument, Rhonas's Monument, Invasion of Ixalan  ^Flip and Thought Vessel seem to be the weakest. Three Visits, Nature's Lore, and Skyshroud Claim are all very solid options that are much harder to remove. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds can also make a ton of mana and draw you cards.

Cards that seem weaker:
Wayward Swordtooth: You only run 33 lands, I am not sure how often this is going to trigger. With a lower land count you have a lesser chance of having multiple lands in hand.
Akroma's Will: This may be overkill. A better option may be Return of the Wildspeaker because it can also draw you a lot of cards.
Bite Down and Ram Through: Requires you to have a creature of the board. Something either cheaper or more flexible like Swords to Plowshares or Touch the Spirit Realm can be beneficial.
Boros Charm: Unless you play in a token heavy meta, there may better options like Flawless Maneuver or Tyvar's Stand. Both can protect your commander the turn you get it out for cheap.
Virtue of Strength: This card does say basic land and you do only run 18 in the whole deck. Take a look at Mirari's Wake, or you could run Bala Ged Sanctuary  ^Flip and another ramp spell for basically the same slots.
Kinjalli's Caller, Knight of the Stampede, Marauding Raptor, Otepec Huntmaster, and Atzocan Seer: These cards are definitely thematic, but I'm not sure if they're all better than Delighted Halfling, Birds of Paradise, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Bloom Tender, and Sylvan Caryatid. Especially if you're only casting one big dinosaur a turn. Same for Commune with Dinosaurs < Once Upon a Time

looks fun!

Wayward Swordtooth can help you ramp and is a decent fling target at 5 power.

Korvold, Fae-Cursed King is a big threat in himself and a great sac outlet.

Rotting Regisaur is a strong creature to fling.

Love seeing Phytotitan getting some love! +1

I think it might be best to just trim a few creatures, like Wayward Swordtooth and Shakedown Heavy. Also Cityscape Leveler just might be too high cost, so maybe keep one of it. But I don't know the deck as well as you probably do, so I'm just guessing. :)

But I do think trimming 2-3 cards to make room for insidious roots might be a good call.

I’ve really liked Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea - I’m thinking something with Wayward Swordtooth is viable instead of Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, although I personally like the additional win condition. I’ve not really come up with a way to spam permanents early to make it viable, but I could definitely see it as an alternate value engine.

There’s not many times I’ve been disappointed by Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea aside from topdecking, since it really allows some explosive plays, untapping after each titan and even manafixing through Blood Moon.

Needing to wait a turn for relevance is the card’s only real downside, so I am only running one copy since I don’t want too many irrelevant draws.

Wayward Swordtooth is another option for additional lands per turn. Cool deck.
