Stampede of the Trumpeting Carnosaur
Trumpeting Carnosaur is a straightforward clock for aggressive red decks and a utility piece for late game reach. The card gives you a 7/6 trampler for {4}{R}{R}, a body that pressures life totals and makes blocks costly. When Trumpeting Carnosaur enters the battlefield you discover five which lets you dig for a spell or land to keep momentum or secure a follow up.
The second mode reads like a built in burn spell for closing out a game. For {2}{R} and discarding the Carnosaur you get three damage to any creature or planeswalker which converts an expendable threat into targeted removal. In Commander and midrange formats this reads as reliable reach and redundancy. Trumpeting Carnosaur from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, borderless foil, suits players who want a playable top end and a tidy way to pivot from threat to removal.
