Egg surprise by coasterkramer

Format: Commander

Commander: Atla Palani, Nest Tender

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Naya build uses Atla Palani, Nest Tender as a one-way cheat engine: Egg tokens die and are replaced by the top creature from the library. The primary path is to assemble a death-trigger chain-Maskwood Nexus plus Ashnod's or Phyrexian Altar-so every creature is an Egg and can be sacrificed to flip through the deck; Terror of the Peaks or a mass-pump finish closes the game. The secondary path is conventional ramp into Etali, Ghalta, or Avacyn, then beatdown with Craterhoof, Moonshaker, or Akroma's Will. The commander's role is central; there is no true hidden commander, though Raph & Mikey and Etali mimic the same cheat-on-creatures effect.
