Life Finds A Way by Bock16

Format: Commander

Commander: Atla Palani, Nest Tender

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Atla Palani, Nest Tender is the egg factory: every dead Egg gives a free creature from the top of the library. The deck surrounds her with token doublers and trigger doublers to turn a few sacrifices into an army of Angels, Dinosaurs, and giant creatures. The fastest realistic line is the combination of Thornbite Staff and Ashnod's Altar, which loops Egg sacrifice and dumps the entire creature column into play; Tannuk then gives the army haste for an immediate kill. If that line is unavailable, the deck can still win by hard-casting or cheating out evasive beaters, using Gisela's damage doubling, Aurelia's extra combat, and Avacyn for protection. The main weakness is Atla's centrality: the primary plan functionally stops if she is removed.
