Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Atla Palani, Nest Tender is a battlefield-tutor engine that cheats Dinosaurs and other creatures from the library by sacrificing Eggs. The deck's primary plan is to ramp into Atla, create and kill Eggs, and use triggers (often doubled by Harmonic Prodigy or Roaming Throne) to flood the board with huge creatures. It has a game-ending infinite loop using Maskwood Nexus, Thornbite Staff, Ashnod's Altar, and Atla, but it can also win through raw combat damage from hasty Dinosaurs. Mid-game payoffs like Gishath, Sun's Avatar and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant accelerate the plan. The deck is resilient to board wipes through protection spells and recursion, but it is somewhat dependent on Atla staying on the battlefield.
