Description
Bonehoard Brings the Fire
Bonehoard Dracosaur is a straightforward clock and value engine that reads clean at {3}{R}{R}. As a 5/5 with flying and first strike it pressures opponent life totals while surviving many blocks. The upkeep trigger exiles the top two cards of your library and gives you permission to play them that turn which turns each upkeep into card advantage or land drops that keep the pressure on.
In practice Bonehoard Dracosaur accelerates mid game plans and pairs well with effects that care about Treasure tokens or on cast triggers. Exiling a land creates a 3/1 red Dinosaur token that adds board presence without costing mana. Exiling a nonland creates a Treasure token that funds additional spells that same turn. For pilots of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan decks it converts upkeep time into resources and keeps the tempo rolling.
