Bonehoard Dracosaur (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Bonehoard Brute

Bonehoard Dracosaur plays the role of a heavy hitter that also fuels long games. Bonehoard Dracosaur is a 5 5 creature with flying and first strike, so it wins many combat exchanges while still pressuring planeswalkers. Its upkeep trigger digs into your deck and gives you play options for the exiled cards, which makes the card work well in shells that want both extra gas and tempo on the same body.

In practice Bonehoard Dracosaur is best where card advantage and tempo matter. Exiling two cards every upkeep feeds lands or threats into your hand and often generates a 3 1 Dinosaur token or a Treasure token on top of the card access. That token generation smooths mana and board development, so the card fits into aggressive midrange and Rakdos style decks that plan to leverage repeated upkeep value. The lore fit is simple and effective: a bone littered throne in the caverns commands both the sky and the spoils below.
