Deck overview

This is a Naya Egg-cracking value deck built to snowball Atla Palani, Nest Tender's death-trigger into an avalanche of giant creatures. The plan is simple: make 0/1 Egg tokens, sacrifice them, and flip the top of the library until a creature lands directly onto the battlefield. The deck supercharges that trigger with token doublers (Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Glory Dominus), trigger doublers (Harmonic Prodigy), universal creature typing (Maskwood Nexus), and a deep sacrifice-outlet suite (Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Altar of Dementia, Goblin Bombardment, Skullclamp). Cheated bombs like Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Zacama, Primal Calamity, Etali, Primal Storm, and It That Betrays provide inevitability, while Warstorm Surge and Terror of the Peaks convert every flip into direct damage. When Thornbite Staff pairs with an Altar, Atla becomes a mana-neutral, self-untapping engine that empties the creature column of the deck onto the battlefield, typically ending the game through pings or an Akroma's Will alpha strike.
