Breeding Dinosauriers by Gabbayin

Format: Commander

Commander: Atla Palani, Nest Tender

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Atla Palani, Nest Tender is the engine of a Naya Dinosaur deck that sacrifices eggs to put high-power dinosaurs directly onto the battlefield. The primary plan is to ramp into Atla, create and crack eggs with equipment or sacrifice outlets, and then use haste-granting dinosaurs and enrage synergies to overwhelm opponents. Secondary paths use Gishath and Etali triggers to refill the board, and close out with Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant or a Wrathful Raptors/Apex Altisaur damage loop. The commander is a single-faced card, and the deck is not built around a hidden commander; the double-faced Etali uses its front face primarily, with the transformation as an additional closer.
