Commander: Blue, Loyal Raptor and Owen Grady, Raptor Trainer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Blue, Loyal Raptor and Owen Grady form a Temur Dinosaur pair that turns a board of already-large Dinosaurs into a spread of utility counters. Blue is the engine-every counter kind on Blue is copied onto each other Dinosaur that enters-while Owen finds Blue, adds haste/trample/reach/menace counters, and cheaply grooms the curve. The primary plan is to ramp into haymakers and attack with trampling, hasted Dinosaurs; secondary paths cheat Ghalta, Etali, or Apex Altisaur into play via Monster Manual, Dino DNA, Finale, and Invasion of Ikoria. Etali, Primal Conqueror is the closest thing to a hidden commander, providing free spells and a poison back face. The Mana Echoes+Dino DNA loop and Apex/Wrathful fight chain are optional closes.
