Time Warp Back to the Lost Caverns of Ixalan!

Fast dino deck able to kill the opponent on turn 4!

Introduction

This is my attempt at a fast dinosaur aggro deck tuned to Duskmourn: House of Horror metagame. It features Ixalli's Lorekeeper as a mana dork, and most fast dinosaurs. Pugnacious Hammerskull is just big and Rampaging Raptor has haste and trample. Bonehoard Dracosaur is the top-end threat, providing evasion and card advantage in the late game. Most other big dinosaurs were considered to be too slow for this deck.
