Deck overview

This is a Naya "Egg-cascade" deck helmed by Atla Palani, Nest Tender, designed to churn out 0/1 defender Eggs, then sacrifice or destroy them to flip into massive threats from the top of the library. The primary game plan is to deploy Atla as early as possible, create eggs via her own ability, Palani's Hatcher, Nesting Dragon, and token doublers such as Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Parallel Lives, then use free sacrifice outlets like Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Goblin Bombardment, or Blasting Station to trigger the creature cascade. The ultimate payoff is an army of game-ending powerhouses - Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Blightsteel Colossus, Terror of the Beaks, Gishath, Sun's Avatar, and Worldspine Wurm - which overwhelm opponents through combat, alternate threats, or the incremental value of Terror of the Peaks triggers.
