Bonehoard Dracosaur (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Bonehoard Dracosaur: Skyborne Bone Collector

Bonehoard Dracosaur is a hard clock piece for red decks that want tempo with upside. The creature arrives for {3}{R}{R} as a 5 5 with Flying and First Strike which makes blocks awkward and trades favorable in air combat. On top of that it taxes the top of your deck every upkeep by exiling the top two cards and letting you play them this turn, turning each upkeep into a mini bonus phase that rewards aggressive sequencing and careful resource reads.

The token outcomes fit the Lost Caverns theme. If a land is exiled you get a 3 1 red Dinosaur token which keeps pressure on board. If a nonland is exiled you get a Treasure token to convert tempo into mana. That makes Bonehoard Dracosaur a flexible threat that supports both midrange and spike style red decks. Experienced players will value the repeatable card advantage and the way the creature forces opponents to account for both air presence and intermittent resource swings.
