First try at a standard deck.

CreaturesCreature base is pretty standard. Drover of the Mighty isn't a dinosaur but is good two drop and ramps. Deathgorge Scavenger fills out the three drop spot and is pretty solid in the meta. Eating cards out of graveyards is good because of The Scarab God, God-Pharaoh's Gift, and eternalize creatures. Ripjaw Raptor and Regisaur Alpha round out our 4 ofs and they're worth is pretty self explanatory.

Burning Sun's Avatar is there because I expect tribal and aggro decks to be prevalent. Also Burning Sun's Avatar has the same clock as Carnage Tyrant because the 3 on ETB plus three swings of 6 is 21 just like three swings from Carnage Tyrant. Only difference is Burning Sun's Avatar can be chumped. This is really a toss up. Tetzimoc, Primal Death is part of the reason to play black. He can be a one sided wrath and is a fantastic mana sink on turns where you know you're not going to use all your mana. The deck doesn't have a ton of instant speed interaction and Tetzimoc, Primal Death lets you play mind games. You can reveal it one turn then next turn leave some mana open to see if they play around the Fatal Push or Vraska's Contempt.

SpellsCommune with Dinosaurs is our only turn one play. It does a good job finding land or threats whenever you need them. Thunderherd Migration is just Rampant Growth in this deck 99.9% of the time. It and Drover of the Mighty get turn 3 Ripjaw Raptors which is solid along with dropping our other threats early.

3 Fatal Push and 2 Vraska's Contempt is our removal suite. Fatal Push isn't quite as good in standard as it is in modern but 3 is a decent number. Vraska's Contempt is one of the better reasons to run black. Answers big threats, The Scarab God, and other Planeswalkers and the lifegain is just a nice bonus.

Chandra, Torch of Defiance is just a good card. Can be a win condition if we protect her. Remove blockers for our dinosaurs or card advantage later in the game.
