Palani's Hatcher: Eggbound Support
Palani's Hatcher gives you a compact engine for token generation and aggression. Palani's Hatcher is a 5 3 Dinosaur that costs {3}{R}{G} and grants haste to your other Dinosaurs, which makes it a natural fit for decks that want to convert early board presence into immediate pressure. When it enters the battlefield it produces two 0 1 Dinosaur Egg tokens, seeding future threats while leaving the Hatcher itself ready to trade or push damage on the first attack.
The Hatcher also provides a dependable late turn upgrade. At the beginning of combat on your turn if you control one or more Eggs you must sacrifice an Egg to create a 3 3 Dinosaur token. That conversion makes Palani's Hatcher a steady source of medium sized bodies and works especially well alongside cards that protect eggs or duplicate sacrifice triggers. From a lore perspective Palani's brood prefer gradual growth rather than sudden dominance which matches the Lost Caverns vibe of slow discovered power.
