This is a semi-strict Dinosaur tribal deck. The only exceptions made were for a few Humans from the Ixalan sets that directly interface with Dinosaurs in some way or provide mana.

One notable combo in the deck: If you have both Atla Palani, Nest Tender and Evolutionary Leap on the battlefield at the same time, when you sacrifice an Egg to Evolutionary Leap you will get both triggers (one creature to hand, one creature to battlefield).

There are a few ways included to damage all creatures, so if you can try to get multiple eggs out and fire one of these off to kill them all at once. Due to the Enrage abilities on some Dinosaurs, these also help trigger those additional abilities. For example: Pyroclasm, Pyrohemia, Blasphemous Act. Marauding Raptor is also good for instantly killing an egg as soon as it's created, or triggering Enrage on ETB.

Warning: As I happened to discover mid-game at one point, it's possible to get the game stuck in an infinite loop. If you have Atla Palani, Nest Tender on the battlefield along with Marauding Raptor and then an egg dies and flips over Polyraptor, this ends up creating infinite Polyraptor tokens, as each new token will take damage on ETB and make another copy. If nobody has a way to break the loop, this will lock up the game and end it in a tie.

If you wanted to switch things up, Atla Palani, Nest Tender could be replaced as the Commander with Gishath, Sun's Avatar or Zacama, Primal Calamity.
