Had Regisaur Alpha in my pool along with a load of good red cards, but I wanted to try something different to aggro so I went with a more experimental build based around flyers together with defensive dinosaurs on the ground. The aim is either to win early through the air, or to outlast the opponent by playing more/stronger creatures that provide life gain.

The 8 fliers in the deck can get buffed by Favorable Winds. Most creatures, especially Looming Altisaur , have a higher defence than attack, so Belligerent Brontodon buffs creatures too. Tishana, Voice of Thunder help win long games, enabling you to build a bigger board and because of her, board stalls are generally a good thing. When the compass flips to Spires of Orazca   it helps blunt any attacks from your an opponent. Verdant Sun's Avatar was very useful in stabilising against aggro decks, when I could get it out, as was wild growth walker in conjunction with the explore creatures. Never got to see priest of the waking sun , but he'd offer another source of life gain.
