Commander: Atla Palani, Nest Tender

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Atla Palani, Nest Tender turns cheap Egg tokens into a pipeline of enormous creatures, using sacrifice outlets to trigger continuous 'flip' effects. The deck's primary plan is to play Atla, generate Eggs (with help from Mondrak and Ojer Taq), and sacrifice them to Ashnod's Altar, Goblin Bombardment, or Blasting Station to put dinosaurs, Eldrazi, and other bombs directly onto the battlefield. Secondary paths include Gishath and Etali attack-trigger reveals, Rishkar's Expertise and Last March of the Ents mass draw, and an infinite sacrifice loop involving Thornbite Staff. The commander is the engine; the deck tries to assemble it as quickly as possible, with Mirror Entity serving as an enabler that makes all creatures Eggs.
