Artist: Lars Grant-West

Card Ability Explanation:

• Trample: This keyword ability allows Trumpeting Carnosaur to deal excess damage to the defending player or planeswalker when it attacks and is blocked by creatures.

• When Trumpeting Carnosaur enters the battlefield, discover 5: This ability triggers when Trumpeting Carnosaur enters the battlefield. "Discover 5" means you exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with a mana value of 5 or less. You can then cast that card without paying its mana cost. The remaining exiled cards are put on the bottom of your library in a random order.

• {2}{R}, Discard Trumpeting Carnosaur: It deals 3 damage to target creature or planeswalker: This activated ability allows you to discard Trumpeting Carnosaur and pay 2 Red mana to deal 3 damage to a target creature or planeswalker. It provides a direct damage-dealing option, which can be useful for removal.

Overall Impression: Trumpeting Carnosaur is a formidable Dinosaur creature with a high power and toughness, and it has trample, allowing it to deal damage efficiently in combat. Its "discover" ability adds a level of card advantage by allowing you to potentially cast a card from exile for free. Additionally, the activated ability gives you the option to use it as removal, dealing 3 damage to a target creature or planeswalker. This card can be a strong addition to a Dinosaur-themed deck.
