Deck overview

This deck is a Naya Creature-Cheat strategy commanded by Atla Palani, Nest Tender. The primary objective is to accelerate mana on turns 1 and 2, cast Atla on turn 3, and assemble a sacrifice outlet on turn 4. Once established, Atla creates 0/1 Egg tokens that hatch directly into gigantic creatures from the library whenever they die. The creature suite features devastating threats such as Worldspine Wurm, Gishath, Sun's Avatar, Etali, Primal Conqueror, and Terror of the Peaks. Rather than casting these high-mana spells fairly, the deck cheats them into play at instant speed for minimal mana investment. While the deck contains potent infinite lines involving Thornbite Staff, Ashnod's Altar, and Mirror Entity, its primary game plan reliably overwhelms opponents through combat damage backed by Akroma's Will and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight by turn 7.
