This is my first self-brewed EDH deck, and I decided to make it a dinosaur tribal! What can I improve and what am I doing well? I am willing to spend some money to upgrade the deck, but probably just up to $50!

Questions

What can I replace in this deck? How can I make it better? Are the enrage undertones worth it?

Here are my movers and shakers:

COMMANDER:

Gishath, Sun's Avatar -- I keep going back and forth on him vs Zacama, Primal Calamity as my commander. I'm thinking if I get a good removal out like Wakening Sun's Avatar or Star of Extinction and then put him out the next turn, I can get ahead real easily.

Bombs

Zacama, Primal Calamity -- How could I even have a dinos deck without Zacama? He is one of my bombs.

Ajani, Valient Protector -- Besides being the only planeswalker I own, he helps buff up my dinos and get more dinos.

Etali, Primal Storm -- Great bomb for changing up the board, especially because I can cast creatures from both the top of my deck and the top of my opponent's deck.\

Helm of the Host -- If I attach this to almost any dino that costs 6 mana and above, I get a ton of value. The problem is that this will probably attract ALL THE ARTIFACT HATE almost right away.

Zetalpa, Primal Hunger -- This is a great card if I can get it out. Indestructible + all of those other keywords means that it can change the game.

Honorable Mentions

Regisaur Alpha -- He is fairly cheap as compared to my other dinos and gives everything haste. He's also 7/7 of value for 5, which is great.

Ghalta, Primal Hunger -- He has the potential to be cast for 2G and is a 12/12! The only downer here is that he will probably be removed ridiculously quickly.

Trapjaw Tyrant -- If I can exile a bunch of creatures with Trapjaw and then keep him alive, it can buy a lot of time.

Mana Ramp

I have a bunch of creatures and spells that help with mana, such as Kinjalli's Caller, Otepec Huntmaster, and Knight of the Stampede, as well as classics like Fyndhorn Elves and Explosive Vegetation. Grow from Ashes is another I'm excited about. Do I have too little mana ramp or not enough?

Other Synergies

I have a lot of lower-cost dinos (and some higher cost ones) that have enrage. This give some good benefits like +1/+1 counters and creatures. I also have some spells and creatures that trigger enrage, like Dual Shot and Raging Swordtooth. Polyraptor is on order and I think he's going to be another bomb.

On order

I should be getting Wakening Sun's Avatar and Polyraptor pretty soon. I'm not sure what to replace -- any ideas?
