Bonehoard Dracosaur (Borderless) (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play Foil

Skyborn Bonehoard

Bonehoard Dracosaur is a solid top end for red based midrange decks that want tempo and card advantage at once. This 5/5 Dinosaur Dragon arrives with Flying and First Strike so it handles most mid sized threats in combat while still applying pressure to an opponent. The upkeep triggered ability turns each draw step into a tactical choice because you exile the top two cards of your library and may play them this turn.

The value stream is straightforward and repeatable. If a land is exiled you get a 3/1 red Dinosaur creature token. If a nonland is exiled you get a Treasure token. That makes the Dracosaur useful in decks that want to smooth mana while still pressuring the air. Bonehoard Dracosaur fits The Lost Caverns of Ixalan theme by converting exploration into board resources and fits nicely in creature heavy shells or a slighly greedy midrange deck that can take advantage of extra plays from the top of library.
