Thunder of the Caverns
Trumpeting Carnosaur is a straight forward beatstick that also gives you options when it hits the board. The card reads like a toolbox in a creature body. With trample and a 7 by 6 body the Carnosaur pushes damage through blockers and forces opponents to trade efficiently. When Trumpeting Carnosaur enters the battlefield you discover five which often nets removal, ramp, or a follow up threat that fits into red aggressive or midrange shells.
Its activated ability lets you convert the creature into direct removal without needing another permanent. Pay two and a red then discard Trumpeting Carnosaur to deal three damage to target creature or planeswalker. That profile makes it useful in decks that need late game interaction or a finisher you can turn into spot removal. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the horned roar guides hunting packs through lava lit caverns and on the table it guides your sequencing choices.
