Contained Entropy by ANTHO

Deck overview

This is a classic Naya egg-cheat midrange deck helmed by Atla Palani, Nest Tender. The core plan is to cast Atla, generate Egg tokens, and sacrifice them to cascade into high-impact creatures directly from the library-most notably Blightsteel Colossus, the Eldrazi package, Worldspine Wurm, and value engines like Etali, Primal Conqueror and Terror of the Peaks. Sac outlets (Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Goblin Bombardment) convert eggs into free battlefield threats, while haste enablers (Concordant Crossroads, Mass Hysteria, Rhythm of the Wild, Surrak and Goreclaw) let those threats attack immediately. A secondary infinite line pairs Atla with Thornbite Staff and a free outlet for unbounded eggs, mana, and damage or mills. Library manipulation (Sensei's Divining Top, Scroll Rack) stacks the top so Atla hits payoffs on demand. The deck wins through infect, annihilator, raw combat, and drain/ping loops rather than a fragile single combo.
