Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Atla Palani egg-cracking engine that converts sacrificed Eggs into free creature drops. The primary plan is to ramp to Atla, create Eggs, and trade them for high-value 6-8 mana threats; with Maskwood Nexus, every creature death becomes an Atla trigger. The main deterministic wins are a Worldspine Wurm loop with Maskwood and a sacrifice/damage outlet, or a Woodfall Primus persist loop using Rhythm of the Wild. Backup plans include Craterhoof Behemoth combat, Etali's free spells, and Avacyn/Gisela lockouts. Maskwood Nexus acts as a pseudo-commander that enables the fastest loops, but the deck is ultimately built around Atla's ability.
