We'll start with some easy rules to follow for optimizing: 8 by 8 Theory, you can think of 8 cards as a "package" of effects, you want redundancy basically.
The thing is, there are three "packages" that are essential, Ramp, Draw, and Removal (Or, Interaction).

1. 8 - 10 Ramp spells, and we want mainly Land Ramp, Green is the only color that gets it, and Green is the strongest color in EDH for that reason, Land Ramp can't be Board Wiped (usually).

2. 8 - 10 Draw spells, preferably ones that we can reuse over and over, though spells that draw us a grip are also very good.

3. 8 - 10 Removal Spells, preferably ones that aren't narrow, Beast Within is excellent, and a Staple, because it can target any permanent, and the 3/3 they get out of it is negligible.

4. 36 Lands, any more and you have a higher risk of flooding, any less and you risk mana screw. It also depends on your ramp though, the more ramp, the less lands you can potentially run. For instance, I run 33 Lands in my Millimar Deck.

5. That leaves 40 card, 5 "packages" of 8 cards essentially, and those 5 can be whatever you want. Though, cards that have over lapping effects are most efficient. I.e.:Skullclamp is both Draw, and a Sac Outlet for Atla Palani, Nest Tender.

Ramp Breakdown

Like I said, the best Ramp is indisputably Land Ramp, because it can't be removed. Though, depending on how you want to play, we'll use different ramp. Sol Ring is the exception in most decks though, since you have one, we should run it, and maybe Arcane Signet since you have one and because it's quickly becoming a Staple as well. We're not Mono-White, so, we don't have to run the bullshit that is Kor Cartographer, or Cartographer's Hawk, or even Boreas Charger, which can be good, but, we'll most likely always have more lands than our opponents.

I'm going to give you options down below, but they come with a word of warning. You should not run Mana Dorks, at all, in this deck, in my opinion. There are ways that we can Ramp out, effectively, WITHOUT hurting Atla Palani, Nest Tender's ability. The creatures in the deck should be ones that are terrifying when they land, that are overly expensive and powerful, right? If we lose an Egg, but gain Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger or Avacyn, Angel of Hope, we're in a much better position then hitting Avacyn's Pilgrim.

Land Ramp Specifically

These are all playable, some are more budget than others, some are faster, and some are more efficient. I've gotten to the point where I'll run 8 - 10 Land Ramp, usually 3 CMC or below, but I have included some viable 4 Drops, if you want them.

• Two Cost Land Ramp:

Rampant Growth, Nature's Lore, Into the North, Farseek, Wayfarer's Bauble, Edge of Autumn, Three Visits.

Also, Thunderherd Migration works, if you have a Dino in hand.

Nature's Lore and Three Visits can grab any Forest.

Farseek can grab bass icly any Typed Land.

Into the North can grab any Snow Land.

• Three Cost Land Ramp:

Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, Harvest Season, Harrow, Roiling Regrowth, Deep Reconnaissance, Primal Growth, Grow from the Ashes, Far Wanderings, Search for Tomorrow, Spoils of Victory.

The best of the bunch are the ones that get you at least two lands: Harvest Season takes some work to get going, but can be powerful.

Roiling Regrowth fixes your mana.

Harrow gets you the lands untapped so you can follow up with a Rampant Growth.

Deep Reconnaissance can be cast twice, which is cool.

Primal Growth works well with the Eggs from Atla Palani, Nest Tender.

The absolute best are Kodama's Reach and Cultivate because they guarantee your next Land drops as well.

• Higher Cost Land Ramp, though, I consider these cards slow, they're still played in many a deck, they can usually be played Turn 3, and get you two lands:

Circuitous Route, Hunting Wilds, Migration Path, Ranger's Path, Vastwood Surge, Peregrination.

Circuitous Route can get you two gates, which can be very useful, they ETB tapped anyway, so it's feels pretty good.

Hunting Wilds and Ranger's Path both get you two Forest cards, fixing your mana while also ramping, and the rest just get you two basics.

Mana Dorks

Now, some Mana Dorks are super efficient, I'll list them here, but like I said, I wouldn't run ANY of them.

• 1 Cost Dorks:

Arbor Elf, Llanowar Elves, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Birds of Paradise, Fyndhorn Elves, Gilded Goose, Elvish Mystic.

Each one comes down early, and ramps well.

• 2 Cost Dorks:

Bloom Tender, Gyre Sage, Overgrown Battlement, Lotus Cobra, Beastcaller Savant, Drover of the Mighty, Incubation Druid, Zhur-Taa Druid, Radha, Heir to Keld, Dockside Extortionist.

Each of these peeps add more mana then they should:

Bloom Tender + Atla Palani, Nest Tender equals 3 Mana, 1 of each of your colors.

Gyre Sage taps for more Mana, the longer the game goes.

Lotus Cobra works well in Landfall decks, especially if you plan to play ALOT of lands in a single turn, but it also works with Land Ramp spells.

Beastcaller Savant has Haste, so you can use him as soon as you play hum, but only for creatures.

Drover of the Mighty is decent, and can be a body if you have Dinos.

Incubation Druid can tap for 3 Mana later in the game.

Zhur-Taa Druid is interesting because it can abused for big damage.

Radha, Heir to Keld taps for Green, but if you attack with her she gives you Two Red, which leaves your mana pool as soon as the phase ends.

Dockside Extortionist is hella good, though I still wouldn't run it.

The most interesting Dork is probably Overgrown Battlement, because the Eggs Atla Palani, Nest Tender are Defenders, Axebane Guardian is similar.

Higher Cost Mana Dorks:

Somberwald Sage, Selvala, Explorer Returned, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Faeburrow Elder, Karametra's Acolyte, Fyndhorn Elder, Llanowar Tribe, Llanowar Visionary, Shaman of Forgotten Ways, Whisperer of the Wilds, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Oracle of Mul Daya, Wayward Swordtooth, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Leafkin Avenger.

Each one of these cards net you large amounts of mana depending on what you need them for:

Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Oracle of Mul Daya, Wayward Swordtooth, and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove let us play multiple lands, the problem usually being, having said lands in hand.

Selvala, Explorer Returned can net a good amount of mana, and also draws you a card, but it also lets your opponents draw.

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds can net you huge mana on later turns.

Faeburrow Elder is the new Bloom Tender.

Karametra's Acolyte works well in Green heavy decks.

Llanowar Tribe pays for itself essentially.

Llanowar Visionary draws you a card.

Shaman of Forgotten Ways taps for two, for rainbow, but only for creatures, those his second ability has won me games flat out.

Both Whisperer of the Wilds and Fyndhorn Elder tap for two, though one will probably happen later in the game.

Leafkin Avenger can tap for huge mana if your board has a lot of 4/4 or higher, though you probably are already winning and don't need the mana.

• Naya Specific that are cool: Druid of the Anima, and Knotvine Mystic

• Sakiko, Mother of Summer and Mark of Sakiko could also be a lot of fun.

Enchantment Ramp

The only other form of Ramp I'd consider is Enchantment Ramp, Enchantment are the second hardest permenant type to remove, so they tend to be very safe options form ramping, no one want to destroy your Utopia Sprawl when you're going to play Doubling Season right?

• Land Enchantments:

Utopia Sprawl, Wild Growth, Trace of Abundance, Fertile Ground, Overgrowth, Market Festival, Dawn's Reflection.

Each of these let you tap a land for more manna then usual. Very good IMO, I feel like a lot of people sleep on cards like these, especially the first 4.

• Ramp Enchantments:

Exploration, Burgeoning, Carpet of Flowers, Klothys, God of Destiny, Sanctum of Fruitful Harvest, Druids' Repository, Frontier Siege, Elemental Resonance, Karametra, God of Harvests.

Green Sanctum Synergies: Honden of Cleansing Fire, Honden of Infinite Rage, Honden of Life's Web, Sanctum of Shattered Heights, Sanctum of Tranquil Light.

Klothys, God of Destiny is interesting because it's a creature, so we can cheese it with Atla Palani, Nest Tender, Karametra, God of Harvests is similar.

Carpet of Flowers is good if you play against a lot of Blue.

Druids' Repository is good if you're swinging with a lot of creatures.

Frontier Siege gives you 4 Green a turn.

Elemental Resonance I think is super cool in this deck, because you can cheese something out with Atla Palani, Nest Tender and throw it on it.

• Creatures Become Mana: Citanul Hierophants, Cryptolith Rite, Earthcraft.

Each one of these is interesting, because we can use our Eggs as mana, especially in the case of say Skullclamp, or Perilous Forays.

We also have Smothering Tithe to think about as well.

Mana Rocks

Rocks are used by the colors who don't have access to Land Ramp, though some Rocks can be very efficient. You don't really want to run any Rock that doesn't give out at least half of its cost in Mana. Chromatic Lantern is great at Fixing, but is inefficient when it comes to actual Ramp, there are much better ways of Fixing now in Magic. They can be Shattering Spree'd or Vandalblast'd though, which are both staples in Red, so their not safe.

• Signets: Boros Signet, Gruul Signet, Selesnya Signet.

• Talismans: Talisman of Unity, Talisman of Impulse, Talisman of Resilience.

• Diamonds: Marble Diamond, Moss Diamond, Fire Diamond.

• Medallions / Cost Reducers:

Emerald Medallion, Pearl Medallion, Ruby Medallion. Though I wouldn't use them in 3 or more color decks.

There's also: Semblance Anvil, Thornscape Familiar might actually be good in the deck, but I still wouldn't run it.

Otepec Huntmaster, Knight of the Stampede, and Kinjalli's Caller all reduce Dinos though.

• Draw/Ramp Stones: Mind Stone, Hedron Archive, Dreamstone Hedron.

• Hyper Efficient Stones:

Everflowing Chalice, Mox Amber, Gilded Lotus, Thran Dynamo, Nyx Lotus, Mox Tantalite, Lavabrink Floodgates.

• Rainbow Stones:

Star Compass, Coldsteel Heart, Fellwar Stone, Arcane Signet, Springleaf Drum.

• Utility Stones: Thought Vessel

Fast Mana Show

All the cards here are called "Fast Mana", they are used in Competitive EDH, are expensive, but undoubtedly the fastest way to ramp.

• Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Chrome Mox, Mox Opal, Jeweled Lotus, Lotus Bloom, Lotus Petal, Mox Diamond.

You have a Sol Ring, so we'll use it.

My Ramp Choices

I wanted to keep it budget, and close to what you already had, I have a Mana Vault for instance, so I'd probably run it, I also have a Nature's Lore, and luckily for you Three Visits was just reprinted, I got it when it wasn't, so.... yeah. If you're going Token Strat, Smothering Tithe is a must. Green Sun's Zenith + Dryad Arbor is also a sick Turn 1 Ramp play.

Sol Ring goes in the deck.

Arcane Signet as well.

Rampant Growth

Farseek

Cultivate

Kodama's Reach

Into the North, just run your basics as Snow Basics, and you're all set.

Harrow

Roiling Regrowth

Primal Growth

I chose 10, the deck is going to have a lot of creatures with high CMC, so, might as well have a bunch of Mana for them.

The more Creatures the Deck has, the better Karametra, God of Harvests looks, especially because it can be cheesed out.

Draw Breakdown

Draw is pivotal to use all the Mana you've accumulated across the game, which is why you should always dedicate a "package" to it. Now, Blue and Black have all the best draw spells. White? White is known as the worst color in EDH because of this exact problem, it has no Draw. Red? Similar issue, second worse color. Red has more then White, but luckily, Naya contains Green, and Green, Green, is the strongest color in EDH.

That being said, before I delve into Grip Draw, and Repeated Draw, I want to talk about a card.

Scroll Rack, I think this card, is an absolute necessity in this deck. Draw a Avacyn, Angel of Hope and don't have the mana to play it, well, it's stuck in your hand, but if you can put it back on the top of your library, suddenly you can Egg it out. Granted, I know, its expensive, but it's pinnacle. Sensei's Divining Top also works, it's fantastic, but, not as good as Scroll Rack.

Budget alternative that I think is playable: Congregation at Dawn, very interesting Tutor.

Grip Draw

This refers to cards that Draw you a "Grip" which typically means 7 cards, or hand size, it's also refered to as Burst Draw. Harmonize is a great Green Grip Draw card, a staple, and used in a lot of decks. Faithless Looting is a famous Red Draw spell, used in Modern to dig deep in 60 card decks, but it's much worse in EDH. We won't be using any White draw spells.

Grip Draw, Green Show

Harmonize is great, I wouldn't cut it, especially since this deck doesn't actually want to Draw a whole bunch of cards, you already know of Shamanic Revelation, and it's great, but what about a second copy? If you play against a lot of Black decks Pygmy Kavu works great, they only need 3 Creatures for it to be a discounted Harmonize, there's also Feed, Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury can Draw you cards in a couple turns, but it also ramps you, or is removal in the mean time.

Regal Force is another great Draw Spell, and it can be cheesed out with Atla Palani, Nest Tender.

Skullmulcher is fantastic, because you get to Sac Eggs, while also, Drawing Cards.

Grothama, All-Devouring can be fun too, you can attack with the Eggs (yes, you can attack with 0 Power creatures), and then throw them at him with his ability, you can also Draw a shit ton of Cards with him too.

Grim Flowering is good if you have a full Graveyard.

Glimpse of Nature can be good if you play a bunch of creatures after it.

If you don't mind losing a creature there's Life's Legacy, Momentous Fall.

Garruk, Primal Hunter is the Vivien, Monsters' Advocate right? He's very good as well, like, Return of the Wildspeaker, Rishkar's Expertise, Soul's Majesty, or Nissa's Revelation, the last one doubling as a way to decide what creature you get with Atla Palani, Nest Tender.

Voice of Many can also be fairly good, if you have three opponents.

Grip Draw, Red Show

Other then the cards mentioned above, there isn't a whole lot of cards that Draw well.

• These maybe? Chandra, Fire Artisan, Escape to the Wilds, Commune with Lava, card:Chandra, Pyromancer, Dark-Dweller Oracle also works as a Sac Outlet, Ignite the Future could be good? Jeska's Will, Soulfire Eruption?

You mentioned Combustible Gearhulk though, and I agree it's a fantastic card, especially because it can cheesed out with Atla Palani, Nest Tender, one issue is that it gives your opponents the chance to deny your Draw. Though, I'd run it, I think it's a great choice, especially if you're gonna be running a lot of high CMC cards, we don't want to draw a whole lot in this deck remember?

You can use Wheel Effects, there is a lot of them, but they only really Cantrip, they don't actually Draw, most actually lose you a card.

Repeatable Draw

The most useful kind of Draw, is the kind that you can use more the once. Red has some interesting things, but, obviously, Green has the best. Also, there's a one White card that I think is playable.

Luckily we don't need to run Mind's Eye.

Green Repeatable Draw Show

My all time favorites are Soul of the Harvest, Primordial Sage, The Great Henge, Beast Whisperer. Mainly because I play them a lot in card:Animar, Soul of the Elements, they could be very useful in this deck, since I think you should be running a bunch of creatures.

Sylvan Library, Greater Good, Survival of the Fittest are all considered to be the best, but they come with the price tag.

Guardian Project is also pretty good, played in a ton of decks Huatli, Radiant Champion is good later in the game.

Elemental Bond, Garruk's Uprising, of course Garruk's Packleader also works well.

I think Vizier of the Menagerie is a good fit, and Garruk's Horde, I do like Abundance in this deck as well, though, I'd always pick Land.

Colossal Majesty seems like a better Triumph of Ferocity.

Neyith of the Dire Hunt is pretty good as both Removal and Draw.

Runic Armasaur: Surprisingly Good actually.

For one card a turn Draw, I like Elder Gargaroth.

Ohran Frostfang is also super good.

Red Repeatable Draw Show

• Rummage Effects: Rummaging Goblin, Mad Prophet, Prophetic Ravings are all Cantrips that are repeatable, and used in a lot of Mono-Red decks. I don't think we need them though.

Dream Pillager, Furious Rise, Grotag Night-Runner, Outpost Siege, Prophetic Flamespeaker are all repeatable Draw as well.

Etali, Primal Storm I think is good, because you're not drawing cards form your library, we want to cheese our creatures out, so why not draw our opponents? I think Grenzo, Havoc Raiser is also good here.

Experimental Frenzy is also interesting.

The One White Repeatable Draw I'd Use Show

Mangara, the Diplomat seems decent in the deck, you want two creatures to attack you regardless, so you can throw Eggs at them, and get shiny prizes right? Why not Draw a card as well, plus you can draw every time someone Casts two things in a turn. Seems decent.

My Draw Choices

So I think we'll run just 9 Draw spells, we don't need a whole lot of them in this deck honestly because we'll be cheesing most of our stuff out right? Scroll Rack, Sensei's Divining Top are probably out of the question, so budget but good we go.

(Skullclamp isn't in this section because it's better specifically as a Sac Outlet.)

Ohran Frostfang is great, and you have it.

Abundance is good, we can just grab Land until we actually need something else.

Harmonize, might as well.

Combustible Gearhulk I think works very well with the deck.

Etali, Primal Storm I think is absolutely great in this deck, and pretty cheap.

Garruk's Horde is also pretty good, it gets the small creatures off the top we don't want to cheese.

Skullmulcher seems pretty good as well.

Regal Force works with the Eggs, they're Green you know.

Garruk, Primal Hunter makes us Tokens if we don't want to Draw, so, good.

None Budget, but I think are excellent. Show

Grenzo, Havoc Raiser and Vizier of the Menagerie, Sylvan Library is great, and Elder Gargaroth.

Removal Breakdown

This section is actually the easiest to break down, because we only really want removal that sticks, and that is effective. This is also where White really strives. Could run Duplicant, and Meteor Golem.

Colored Removal Choices

These are all the removal spells in Atla Palani, Nest Tender's that are useful, in my opinion.

Green Removal Show

Tranquil Grove is fun.

Acidic Slime, Beast Within, Reclamation Sage, World Breaker, Krosan Grip, Lignify, Song of the Dryads, Nature's Claim, Terastodon, Force of Vigor, Return to Nature, Bramblecrush, Woodfall Primus.

I also think Pir's Whim is a Removal spell, not a Ramp spell.

All very playable.

Red Removal Show

Chaos Warp is the only Red Removal spell I'd heavily recommend. Though Deflecting Swat could do the trick in a pinch.

There are a couple more tough, mainly just Artifact removal. Vandalblast, Shattering Spree

White Removal Show

Darksteel Mutation, Swords to Plowshares, Return to Dust, Generous Gift, Path to Exile. There are more, like Condemn, but not as efficient as the ones I've mentioned.

Multicolored Show

Hull Breach, Decimate, Sundering Growth are all good pick ups.

There's also Aura Shards, which I'd run abosolutely if you have one.

Board Wipes

Board Wipes aren't absolutely necessary, though most Deck Builders recommend running 3 or 4 of them. I'd would say one thing about Atla Palani, Nest Tender, she sees the Eggs die, if anyone tries to fight you on this, punch them in the throat, I'm a judge, YOU WILL GET HER TRIGGERS EVEN IF SHE DIES TOO.

Another thing I want to bring up real quick is the combo of Avacyn, Angel of Hope + Armageddon/Ruination/card:Jokulhlaups. You'll blow up all your opponents Lands, which usually wins you the game on the spot. Though, trust me, you won't make any friends doing this, as people like to be able to play Magic.

Should also look at Steel Hellkite, not really a total Wipe, but super powerful.

My Choices If You Don't Wanna Look Through Them All. Show

White Choices: Austere Command, Slaughter the Strong, Fell the Mighty, Martial Coup, Day of Judgment, Wrath of God, Cleansing Nova, Fumigate, Phyrexian Rebirth, Sublime Exhalation, Fortunate Few, Tragic Arrogance, Hour of Reckoning.

Red Choices: Subterranean Tremors, Star of Extinction, Blasphemous Act.

Others: Wakening Sun's Avatar and Realm-Cloaked Giant both pull double duty, their not Cheese-able, but are big-bodied regardless.

Cheesable: Magus of the Disk, Cataclysmic Gearhulk, Apex Altisaur, Novablast Wurm.

Oblivion Stone, if you're already running Sun Titan.

White Wipes

Austere Command: Modal Wipe, EDH Staple.

Slaughter the Strong: Decent, nothing with Power 5 or greater survives it and you can save Atla, gets around Indestructible.

Fell the Mighty: Decent, Target Egg, blow up all creatures, or, Target Atla, keep her and Eggs.

Elspeth, Sun's Champion: Is interesting, though the Wipe part of her is bad IMO.

Solar Tide: Modal, can be pretty good.

Martial Coup: Can be good in Token decks.

Planar Collapse: Conditional card:Wrath of Good that can be removed.

Winds of Abandon: White's Cyclonic Rift, but also, hyper Ramp for your opponents, gets around Indestructible.

Day of Judgment: Efficient board Wipe, not the most efficient, but good.

Shatter the Sky: Replaces itself if you have a 4 Power or greater Creature.

Wrath of God: Most efficient Board Wipe in the game other then Damnation.

Cleansing Nova: Can also be used to Wipe Artifacts and Enchantments.

End Hostilities: Also deals with Equipment attached to Creatures.

Fumigate: Gain Life for Wiping.

Hallowed Burial: Gets around Indestructible.

March of Souls: Can be good in a Token deck, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite takes care of the Token though.

Rout: Can be an instant speed card:Wrath of Good for 7 Mana.

Winds of Rath: Good in Enchantress decks.

Descend upon the Sinful: Gets around Indestructible, can also make a Token.

Final Judgment: Exile before it was a Key Word, gets around Indestructible.

Kirtar's Wrath: Expensive Wrath of God, but cam make two 1/1 Spirits.

Phyrexian Rebirth: Good in Token decks.

Terminus: Can be cast for a single , gets around Indestructible.

Fated Retribution: Also gets Planeswalkers, lets you Scry 2 at Sorcery speed.

Sublime Exhalation: Can be Day of Judgment if you have 3 live opponents.

Sunscour: Has an interesting Alternative Cost.

Myojin of Cleansing Fire: Can't be cheesed out, has a decent body.

False Prophet: Gets around Indestructible if it dies.

Wakening Sun's Avatar: If not cheesed out, blows up all non-Dinos.

Realm-Cloaked Giant: Giant isn't a very common Creature Type, will Wipe most boards.

Urza's Ruinous Blast: Gets around Indestructible, but doesn't deal with Commanders. Blows up all Nonlands though.

Planar Outburst: Dryad Arbor survives, and other Land Creatures.

Magus of the Disk: Nev's Disk the Creature.

Akroma's Vengeance: Nev's Disk the Sorcery.

Fortunate Few: Cataclysmic Gearhulk but different.

Tragic Arrogance: Cataclysmic Gearhulk but YOU choose all the choices.

Hour of Revelation: Can cost , blows up all Nonlands.

Planar Cleansing: Blows up all Nonlands.

Play of the Game: Exiles all Nonlands, and your opponents can help pay for it.

Hour of Reckoning: Blows up all nonToken creatures, good in token decks.

Cataclysmic Gearhulk: Cheese-able.

Scourglass: Everything but Lands and Artifacts.

Red Wipes

Subterranean Tremors: Interesting, misses Flyers though.

Earthquake, Fault Line: Misses Flyers, hits Players.

Rolling Earthquake: Misses Horsemanship, hits Players.

Magmaquake: Missed Flyers, hits Planeswalkers.

Molten Disaster: Misses Flyers, hits Players, can be Split Seconded.

Starstorm: Hits everything, can also be Cycled.

Chain Reaction: Interesting?

Desolation Giant: Is reallllly bad if Cheesed.

Descent of the Dragons: Can be good in a Token deck?

Fire Tempest, Inferno: Interesting.

Star of Extinction: Deals with anything that not x/21 or higher, also Planeswalkers, meteor-ing the Dinos the MTG card.

Blasphemous Act: Deals with anything thats not an x/14 or higher, cheaper as the game goes on.

Disaster Radius: Can be very good depending on what's in your hand.

Martyr of Ashes: Misses Flyers, better in Mono-Red.

Gates Ablaze: Need a bunch of Gates, you can only run 4 in this deck.

Thieves' Auction: Not really a Board Wipe, but hella funny.

Warp World: Insta-Different-Board.

Green Wipes

There's really only two good ones....

The Great Aurora: Basically restarts the game, if you have a bunch of Tokens, you come out much farther ahead.

Apex Altisaur: Very good in conjunction with Avacyn, Angel of Hope.

Colorless Wipes/Multi Colored

Novablast Wurm: Reusable Board Wipe

Savage Twister: Not great.

Oblivion Stone: Recur-able with Sun Titan.

Boompile: Blows up all Nonlands.

Nev's Disk

Perilous Vault Exiles all Nonlands.

My Choices

I think using the creature based Removal for this deck works the most efficiently, you could cheese it off the top with Atla Palani, Nest Tender if we really need too, and there a couple that are really good for hitting hard targets, I'm also a paranoid freak, so I run 10. So:

Acidic Slime, Reclamation Sage, World Breaker also deals with Indestructible, Meteor Golem, Terastodon, Woodfall Primus, Duplicant for the creature based Removal.

For the last three, Beast Within, Generous Gift, Song of the Dryads.

The hardest permanent type to remove is Land, most of the Removal above deals with them if needed, incase your opponents have say Maze of Ith, or Gaea's Cradle. The second hardest is Enchantment, so most of these hit them, and Artifacts. Some can also be used to deal with problem creatures as well, as well as Planeswalkers if you need them too in a pinch, though Planeswalkers are the easiest permanent type to get rid of, just swing at them.

Wipe Choices Show

Now, like I said, I think you should run a good amount of Wipes in this deck, you're "SEMI" immune to them, and if you continuously set your opponents boards back to zero while cheesing out ridiculously strong cards like Avacyn, Angel of Hope, you'll be able to edge out games of attrition and out value opponents in the long run. Furthermore, specifically Avacyn, Angel of Hope makes all your "Destroy" Wipes one-sided, which is even better. This is all also under the assumption that you don't know about Archetype of Endurance, which, in conjunction with Avacyn, Angel of Hope, makes your board, REDICULOUSLY hard to remove, the only real ways are WIPES that Exile, Sac, or Reduce your creatures toughness. Which there are FEW. This becomes even more problematic when you consider you can run Sigarda, Host of Herons. Which means, your board becomes EVEN MORE unremovable. I mean, it might be worth it to run a whole "Package" of wipes.

You can cheese every one of these combo pieces out as well with Atla Palani, Nest Tender, just food for thought.

The Wipes that seem good, but can't be cheesed out are as follows:

Myojin of Cleansing Fire: If you cheese it out, it's nothing more then a 4/6 Legend, which isn't overly exciting, it'd be interesting to cast it though, and have the ability to threaten a Board Wipe at instant speed. I don't know if that's worth 8 Mana though.

Wakening Sun's Avatar: Also, can't be cheesed out, but it is a Dino, and so you if you run ALOT of Dinos, then it's can be a one sided Wipe regardless.

Realm-Cloaked Giant: Same problem, but it's Wipe half does have a low CMC, so you can play it relatively early, you just don't want to hit a 7/7 Vig off of an Egg.

Another one I'd like to reiterate is Oblivion Stone, because it is repeatable if you play it right, Sun Titan.

Wipes that can be cheesed: A quick word about Atla Palani, Nest Tender, her second ability specifically says the word "Put", which means you're not casting the creatures with her ability, so you can't cheese cards like the above mentioned Myojin of Cleansing Fire, or cards like Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger.

what it does mean though, is that the cheesed creatures, DON'T USE THE STACK. This has two meaningful consequences.

1. The creatures the are "Put" onto the battlefield by Atla are UNCOUNTERABLE.

2. AND, essentially, HAVE "FLASH" or can be played at INSTANT SPEED, which also, kinda gives psuedo HASTE.

Example: Make Egg, have Phyrexian Altar, Sac Egg on Opponents turn, GET A CREATURE ON THEIR TURN. Most effective on the END STEP of the opponent's turn right before yours.

So, Wipes like Magus of the Disk become very good, who also happens to combo with Avacyn, Angel of Hope because it's ability can be REPEATED EVERY TURN, or can be replayed with Sun Titan.

I also like Novablast Wurm for these reasons. Cheesing it out on an opponents and being able to immediately swing with it seems very good.

Or Apex Altisaur because you can cheese it out on an end step and Wipe whole Boards before your turn starts, and again combos with Avacyn, Angel of Hope to Wipe ALL opponents Boards, and leaves you with a 10/10.

Cataclysmic Gearhulk is also fantastic because your keep all your best stuff, and make sure the game remains at Parity.

Other Good Wipes: You WANT Wipes that also kill your Eggs, so cards like Terminus are bad (though The Great Aurora can be still good because you still get extra Value off Eggs), and cards like Fortunate Few can be bad because your opponents will let you keep Eggs, and nothing else.

So we don't want EXILE effects, which is bad, because we want Wipes that deal with Indestructible. But we can run SACRIFICE Wipes, cause they deal with Indestructible.

So, other Wipes that I like: Slaughter the Strong: Keep the best total power 4 that's not Eggs.

Tragic Arrogance: Super good, IMO.

Hour of Revelation: Doesn't get around Indestructible, BUT, deals with more then just creatures.

Descent of the Dragons: I like this card because it turns yours Eggs into 4/4 Flyers, as well as letting the cheese happen. Plus, getting rid of opponents problem targets and giving them a 4/4 Flyer doesn't seem too bad.

Austere Command: Is super good.

Blasphemous Act: Can be REALLLY cheap.

Beware of Hour of Reckoning. It can be good sometimes, and TERRIBLE others.

Lands Breakdown

This is probably the most important section honestly, the Mana Base of any deck is the thing I optimize the most. I'm kind of crazy when it comes to the Lands I run, I like lands that are quick, and efficient, I hate Tap Lands.

Basics are important, but it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish with your deck. Though, the bane of say the Animar, Soul of Elements, is absolutely Blood Moon, it's built in such a away that the deck can run on two lands, you heard that right, two lands, I've won a game with one land before.

The two sections below cover the colored mana producing lands, and breaks down which are good and which are trash.

Rainbow Lands

There are two types of "Rainbow" Lands we will run, ones that actually tap for a mana of any color, and ones that tap exactly for Atla Palani, Nest Tender's colors. A good mix of these means that you'll always have the colors you need regardless of whats in your hand, that way we don't need to run things like Chromatic Lantern or Prismatic Omen, or even Joiner Adept. We can use those slots for better things.

True Rainbow Lands

City of Brass, Mana Confluence: 40 life enables the abuse of cards like this, you're not worried of losing 1 life every time you tap it, because frankly, you've got a lot to spare.

Tarnished Citadel: Major Pain Land, a little more scary.

Forbidden Orchard: You can play the politics game and give someone the 1/1, which is a tiny little creature, in exchange for not attacking you for instance.

Pillar of the Paruns: Functional in decks heavy with multicolored spells.

Ancient Ziggurat: Functional in decks heavy with creatures.

Unclaimed Territory, Cavern of Souls: Functional in Tribal decks.

Lotus Vale, Lotus Field: Functionally Rainbow, but can hurt if you need to cast something of two or more colors more often then not.

Gemstone Caverns: Risky, but fun.

Gemstone Mine: Rainbow for three turns, then you're down a land, can be very good.

Cascading Cataracts: Heavy mana fixing.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx: Very powerful in one or two color decks, works in my card:Animar, Soul of the Elements deck because it's 60% Blue.

Glimmervoid: Sac if you have no artifacts, can be abused with Ancient Den, Great Furnace, and Tree of Tales, similar to Spire of Industry.

Thran Quarry: Sac if you have no creatures, basically board wipe weak, which is kinda funny, like Dryad Arbor, good in creature heavy decks.

Survivors' Encampment, Holdout Settlement: Would only run in like Emmara, Soul of the Accord like deck, could work with Eggs?

Grand Coliseum: Tapped Rainbow Pain land.

Transguild Promenade, Rupture Spire, Gateway Plaza: Tapped Rainbow Lands, great in Budget Rainbow Land Bases.

Vivid Meadow, Vivid Creek, Vivid Grove: Enter tapped, temporarily Rainbow, but still tap for Colored Mana after.

Mirrodin's Core: Sometimes Rainbow.

These Are Bad, Or Very Situational Show

Rhystic Cave: Risky, and unfun.

Forsaken City: Good if you have a massive hand of cards.

Undiscovered Paradise: The worst bounce land.

Tendo Ice Bridge: Rainbow, ONCE.

Corrupted Crossroads: Rainbow, COLORLESS?

Base Camp: Rainbow, PARTY.

Haven of the Spirit Dragon: Rainbow, DRAGON.

Ally Encampment: Rainbow, ALLY.

Primal Beyond: Rainbow, ELEMENTALS.

Unknown Shores, Painted Bluffs, Shimmering Grotto, Cave of Temptation, Henge of Ramos, Unstable Frontier, School of the Unseen: Mana Fixing, bad, don't run them.

Rainbow Vale: Ramp for your opponents.

That's pretty much every single one.

Functional Rainbow Lands

Now "Functional" refers that these lands aren't specifically "Rainbow", but end up doing the trick. Command Tower is the best example of this because it taps for mana of cards specifically in your deck. You don't need any of the others colors.

Command Tower: Duh.

Path of Ancestry: Tapped Command Tower.

Jungle Shrine: Naya Tapped Command Tower.

Exotic Orchard: Rainbow if your opponents have Rainbow.

Reflecting Pool: Rainbow if you already have Rainbow.

Meteor Crater: Rainbow if you have Commander, or permanents on board that make up your Commander's colors.

Rith's Grove: Called the "Lairs", wish it was good honestly, there's one for each of the 3 Colors, only effective if you can play multiple lands a turn or have Burgeoning. Basically you'll be a land drop behind for the rest of the game otherwise, unlike other Bounce Lands.

Bi-Color Lands

Now, this section is going to cover a bunch of lands that tap for two colors specifically. Some are expensive, some are cheap, and I'll break them down by section, but these will probably make up the rest of your colored Lands count.

Dual Lands

True Duals: Taiga, Savannah, Plateau: Original Duals printed in Alpha/Beta, hellllaaaaa expensive.

Shock Lands:Stomping Ground, Temple Garden, Sacred Foundry: The next best thing to True Duels, like their older brothers, then can be Fetched, or Farseek'd, Nature's Lore'd.

Battlebond Lands: Spire Garden, Bountiful Promenade, Spectator Seating: Excellent in Classic EDH 4-for-alls.

MDMF Land: Cragcrown Pathway  , Branchloft Pathway  , Needleverge Pathway  : New and fresh, seem decent enough for budget Mana Bases.

Check Land: Rootbound Crag, Sunpetal Grove, Clifftop Retreat: Work well with the Shocks.

Reveal Lands: Game Trail, Fortified Village: Lesser known or played, which makes them cheaper, I think they're being slept on honestly.

Battle Lands: Cinder Glade, Canopy Vista: Decent early game, better in decks with alot of Basics, they have Basic Land Types though, so they can be Fetched or Ramped.

Fast Lands: Copperline Gorge, Razorverge Thicket, Inspiring Vantage: Good in the early game, become Tapped Lands after Turn 2, I play them in Millimar because I want him usually on Turn 2, so, it works out.

Pain Lands: Karplusan Forest, Brushland, Battlefield Forge: Very good in all honesty, if you need colored Mana then use other lands first, and use them for Generic Costs. Though, the 1 Damage is negligible.

True Filter Lands: Fire-Lit Thicket, Wooded Bastion, Rugged Prairie: Also slept on I think, unlick other Filter Lands they produce extra mana, so you're not down a land. I use them in Millimar because I want as little Red Sources as possible, while still being able to actually cast my Commander. They serve this purpose amazingly.

Old Filter Lands: Mossfire Valley, Sungrass Prairie: Not as good as the True Filters, but still, very playable.

Future Shifted Lands/Horizon Lands: Grove of the Burnwillows, Horizon Canopy, Sunbaked Canyon: Interesting bit of MTG history, card:Grove of the Burn Willows is the only one of the Horizon Lands that doesn't Sac to Draw cards. Tt was Futureshifted back 2007, which means that it's printing "Predicted" other Land cards that would do the same thing some time in Magic's Future. Horizon Canopy was printed at the same time as Grove of the Burnwillows, it also was Futureshifted, BUT, we were printed a set called Modern Horizons which gave us the Enemy(Opposing Color Pie Parings) "Horizon Lands". Which have the design of Horizon Canopy. Which means, that eventually, we should be able to have all the Allied Horizon Lands. Grove of the Burnwillows is still the only Land of its kind, which means we could still get a Set of them in all the Color Pairs eventually.

Storage Lands: Fungal Reaches, Saltcrusted Steppe: Not as useful as Mirrodin's Core in my opinion, though, sometimes you have Mana you can't spend, so why not through it in one of these guys.

Kamigawa Lands: Pinecrest Ridge, Tranquil Garden: Very slow, and taxing in my opinion, though, I've never played with them, they could be better then I give them credit for, but I highly doubt it.

Tempest Lands: Mogg Hollows, Vec Townships, Scabland: Same as the card:card:Pinecrest Ridge|Kamigawa Lands, except card:Sabland which is a Tapped Pain Land, which is slow, IMO.

Depletion Lands: Timberline Ridge, Veldt: Bad, again, IMO.

Tribal Land: Ancient Amphitheater: Giants?

Budget Tapped Lands

True Bounce Lands: Gruul Turf, Selesnya Sanctuary, Boros Garrison: Unlike the Lairs, these don't set you back a Land because they tap for Two, they're absolutely playable.

Bi-Cycle Lands: Sheltered Thicket, Scattered Groves: Can be Ramped or Fetched, and later in the game when you don't want to Draw Lands, you can Cycle them, all and all better then you'd think.

Thriving Lands: Thriving Heath, Thriving Bluff, Thriving Grove: Fairly new, not terrible as far as a tapped land, better if you need more of one color then another, budget.

Gain Lands:Rugged Highlands, Blossoming Sands, Wind-Scarred Crag: Better then Tapped Lands that don't do anything else.

Scry Lands: Temple of Abandon, Temple of Plenty, Temple of Triumph: Better then the Gain Lands, IMO, more expensive usually.

Guildgates: Gruul Guildgate, Selesnya Guildgate, Boros Guildgate: Can be Ramped. Food for thought.

Generic Tapped Lands: Timber Gorge, Tranquil Expanse, Stone Quarry: There are better Tapped Lands.

Man Lands: Raging Ravine, Stirring Wildwood, Needle Spires: Can be decent in the right decks.

Refuges: Kazandu Refuge, Graypelt Refuge. There are better Tapped Lands.

Snow Tapped Lands: Highland Weald, Arctic Flats. Can be Ramped, though not as efficiently as the Gates.

Invasion Tapped Lands: Shivan Oasis, Elfhame Palace: There are better Tapped Lands.

These sections cover Fixing Lands, and other Utility Lands

Fetch Lands

True Fetches: Wooded Foothills, Windswept Heath, Arid Mesa: In conjunction with the Shock Lands you get the most effective Mana Fixing in the game.

Slow Fetchs: Mountain Valley, Grasslands. MUCH cheaper then the True Fetches, slower, BUT STILL HYPER PLAYABLE.

Naya Fetch: Naya Panorama fixes well, though it does specify only BASICs, still decent.

Neutral Fetches: Prismatic Vista, Fabled Passage, Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, Warped Landscape, Terminal Moraine, Thawing Glaciers: Listed in order of power Prismatic Vista being the MOST POWERFUL by far, 1 life to get ANY BASIC untapped means that it's useful regardless of the stage of the game, each card after essentially loses efficiency, I think they're all playable in the right deck.

Ramp Lands: Krosan Verge, Myriad Landscape, Blighted Woodland: Lands that Ramp, not bad. Another good Ramp Land mention, that isn't a Fetch is Terrain Generator.

Fetches an Artifact: Inventors' Fair.

Utility Lands

Gavony Township: Buff your Board.

The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale: Anti-Creature Land, is good because it gives a free way of sac-ing Eggs, while keeping the Board clear-ish. Is 2000$ Dollars though.....

Command Beacon: get around Commnader Tax once, or more with cards like Crucible of Worlds.

Clone Lands: Vesuva, Thespian's Stage. Good for doubling up on utility lands, plus there's the card:Thespain's Stage + Dark Depths combo.

Board Wipe Land: Blast Zone. Is suprisingly good actually, Pay 0, blow up all Tokens, just set it to what ever people have that's problematic for you, and threaten to Wipe it.

Strip Mines: Strip Mine, Wasteland, Ghost Quarter, Memorial to War, Dust Bowl, Encroaching Wastes, Tectonic Edge, Field of Ruin. For if you want to be mean, they all work pretty well with Crucible of Worlds and Ramunap Excavator. It's also nice to be able to deal with Maze of Ith, or Gaea's Cradle with Lands instead of spells.

Hideaways: Mosswort Bridge, Windbrisk Heights, Spinerock Knoll: All of them seem very easy to activate in Atla Palani, Nest Tender, might be worth playing.

Castles: Castle Garenbrig, Castle Ardenvale, Castle Embereth: Castle Garenbrig is very good, it's basically Ramp. I don't think the White Castle is really worth it even with doublers. Castle Embereth seems ok when you already have a big board, might be playable.

Anti-Protection: Arcane Lighthouse, Detection Tower: Good in protection heavy Metas.

Untap Land: Deserted Temple: Good with cards like card:Nykthos, Shrin to Nyx, or Maze of Ith.

Reliquary Tower: A classic, no max hand size.

Evasion Lands:

• Kessig Wolf Run: Not a bad idea, gives Evasion(Trample) and a variable buff.

• Rogue's Passage: Straight up Unblock-able Creature for 4 Mana.

Haste Giving:

• Slayers' Stronghold: Buffs, Vigilance, Haste, for Boros seems good.

• Land Half  : Good Haste enabler, but also Creature Half is cheesable with Atla, AND produces Tokens which is good with doublers. Plus, they Meld in This Monstrosity, which is also good with doublers.

• Flamekin Village: Haste for 1 Red, not bad.

• Hall of the Bandit Lord: Haste for 3 life, also very good.

Protection Lands: - Sanctum of Eternity: Commander protection.

• Glacial Chasm: Combat protection.

• Halls of Mist: Combat protection every other turn.

• Homeward Path: Anti-theft protection.

• Kor Haven: Blightsteel Colossus protection.

• Nephalia Academy: Discard protection.

• Rishadan Port: Maze of Ith protection.

• Maze of Ith: Also Blightsteel Colossus protection.

• Mystifying Maze: Maze of Ith for 4 Mana, but they get an ETB, just straight up kills Tokens.

• Labyrinth of Skophos: Maze of Ith that Costs 4, but also, can be considered Evasion, by removing a "Blocking" creature, it means that what ever creature was being blocked, is no longer being blocked.

Draw:

• Arch of Orazca: Good later in the game.

• Bonders' Enclave: Good in decks that have big creatures.

• Geier Reach Sanitarium: Good in decks like Nekusar, the Mindrazer.

• Mikokoro, Center of the Sea: Also good in Nekusar, the Mindrazer.

• Scrying Sheets: Draw Snow Lands if you're running a bunch of them.

• Throne of the High City: Draw a card on the End Step (That's what Monarch does), whenever you deal damage to a person who is the Monarch, you become the Monarch.

Grave Recursion:

• Hall of Heliod's Generosity: Good at getting back important Enchantments.

• Buried Ruin: Get back cards like Mimic Vat.

• Haunted Fengraf: Get back a random Creature.

• Anti-Graveyard Recursion: Scavenger Grounds.

Token Makers:

• Kher Keep: Makes small bois, not bad for Two Mana, work with Doublers.

• Field of the Dead: Good in decks that don't run a bunch of basics, works well with the Doublers.

• Springjack Pasture: Like the above Lands, works with doublers, but the Goats can be turned to Mana if need be.

• Grove of the Guardian: Make a big swinger or two.

Sac Lands:

Good for a number of reasons, Eggs for instance, or if someone tries to Mind Control your Creatures, OR if you Act of Treason a Creature and don't want to give it back.

• Miren, the Moaning Well: Gain Toughness amounts of life will Sac-ing things, for 3.

• High Market: Gain 1 life for Tap.

• Diamond Valley: gain Toughness amounts of life for a Tap, doesn't tap for Mana.

Flash Lands:

• Winding Canyons: Creatures at instant speed for 2 Mana.

• Emergence Zone: Do it once for 1 Mana, or multiple times with Crucible of Worlds.

Chosen Mana Base

So, I have a lot of the pricey Rainbow Lands, which is why I don't run a lot of Basics most of the time. Basically, I run enough for Ramp to work. I only run over 36 Lands in Landfall decks, or when I want a good amount of Utility Lands but still want a good amount of Colored Mana.

Rainbow Lands:

1. City of Brass

2. Mana Confluence

3. Gemstone Caverns

1. Command Tower

2. Path of Ancestry

3. Jungle Shrine

4. Exotic Orchard

5. Reflecting Pool

6. Meteor Crater

Dual Lands:

1. Stomping Ground

2. Temple Garden

3. Sacred Foundry

4. Spire Garden

5. Bountiful Promenade

4. Prismatic Vista

5. Fabled Passage

6. Evolving Wilds

8. Krosan Verge

9. Myriad Landscape

10. Blighted Woodland

32 - 36 Basics.

Budget Mana Base

This section is basically gonna break down what Lands you should think about adding to your collection on a budget while moving up to the better lands.

Rainbow Lands:

• Thran Quarry: It's pretty cheap, and you'll run creatures in almost every deck right?

• Grand Coliseum: Cheap, and effective.

• Vivid Lands: There is one for each color, and they're actually highly effective, I use them in a fair number of decks.

• Mirrodin's Core: Very cheap, and surprisingly effective, there are a lot of times where you don't need to use all your lands, so just use it last and throw counters on it when you can.

• Ancient Ziggurat: Though it's only useful in creature saturated decks, it's worth every penny.

Effectively Rainbow:

• Path of Ancestry: It's always nice to have a second Command Tower, and for the price, it's too good to pass up.

• Jungle Shrine: There's one for each of the Shards(Three Color Pairs), and extremely cheap, there used in all three color decks, and are great in 5-Color.

• Exotic Orchard: So. Good.

• Meteor Crater: Is kinda of a sleeper, I don't think a lot of people know about it, or are scared by it. It. Has. Never. Failed. Me.

Pathways  : Currently they only have the 3 Allied Color Pairs, and 3 Enemy but we'll get the rest in the future. They're also brand new (Two months old) which means they're cheap, get them while they stay that way.

Check Lands: Highly effective, worth every penny.

Reveal Lands: Also slept on, I feel like the "Reveal" scares people because it gives opponents information about their hands, but, you'll be playing the land you reveal shortly after, so it's not a problem in my opinion. They're gaining some traction, so get them while they're cheap.

Fast Lands: Highly effective early game, worth every penny.

True Filters: One for each Guild(Two Color Pair), slowly rising in prise, played more and more as time goes on.

Old Filters: One for each Allied Color Pair, dirt cheap.

Pain Lands: There's one for each Guild, and are of Mid-Range Price.

Bounce Lands: Cheap, effective.

Bi-Cycle Lands: Very good in my opinion, one for each of the Allied Color Pairs.

Thriving Lands: One for each color, currently cheap, but also very knew, price is growing every day.

Slow Fetchs: One for each of the Allied Pairs, the True Fetches are not cheap, but these do very well themselves.

How This Deck Wins Is Important

This section is going to deal with the other "packages". It's going to be the most in-depth, with the most sections. Really, this part of your deck signifies your own personal style and what makes the deck your own. The most important thing of deck building isn't Removal, or Draw, or even Ramp. The most important thing is that you love the deck, and playing it. That what Magic means to me, and I want to instill that in you as well. I have a lot of great memories of playing back when we first started, and that's kind of what's been keeping me going. Having found countless friends who also love the game, and getting friends into the game has been a super rewarding experience, so that's why I threw this whole thing together. To give you a little bit of an edge by giving you some of the knowledge I've accumulated from my years of playing and absorbing a lot of media surrounding Magic.

So the sections below are kind of a list of the ways you can take the deck, you don't have to use any of them, I'd look at the "High-Synergy" and the "Tokens" Sections regardless because there are some wacky things in there, but all in all, the rest of the deck is up to you.

The above sections are just optimized for your commander essentially, so you didn't have to play test the deck into oblivion. I'm not saying they're perfect, but they're a very good baseline to start off of, the Percons usually just to cut it.

High-Synergy

You already know about Skullclamp so we can just the that out of the way.

**If you look online at all for Bigg Momma Decklists you'll find this combo.

• Thornbite Staff + Ashnod's Altar + Atla Palani, Nest Tender

This combo puts all your creatures from your library into play. It goes like this:

1. With Bigg Momma Equipt with Thornbite Staff, with Ashnod's Altar in play.

2. Make an Egg, Sac it with Ashnod's Altar, making 2 Generic, triggering Thornbite Staff, untapping Atla Palani, Nest Tender.

3. Make an Egg with the two Generic floating mana from Ashnod's Altar, and Sac it.

4. Repeat until all your Creatures are in play. **

Helm of the Host:

Gives you a NON-LEGENDARY Atla Palani, Nest Tender every turn, yes, they each Trigger separately for each Egg.

Mirror Entity:

MAXIMUM OVER CHEESE, easy, stick this thing on board when you have Atla Palani, Nest Tender, pay 0, and ALL YOUR CREATURES BECOME EGGS AND IMMEDIATELY DIE. Sick.

Nesting Dragon:##

Another way to generate Eggs, play a land, get an Egg, not to mention you get added benefits from loosing the Eggs this boi makes.

All on a 5/4 Flying Body, not bad at all.

Indomitable Creativity:

Pay X, where X is the amount of Eggs you control and basically get DOUBLE the Bigg Momma Triggers, also works as Removal, very good.

Ghired's Belligerence:

I think it's fairly intersting, pay X where X is the amount of Eggs you control and get their triggers, and idk, make a whole bunch of Giant Adephage copies, or more Eggs. All and all, pretty good IMO.

Strionic Resonator:

Doubles the amount of Creatures you get off of a Atla Palani, Nest Tender Trigger.

Illusionist's Bracers:

Doubles the number of Eggs created from Atla Palani, Nest Tender. There's also Rings of Brighthearth, but I think the two generic cost seems steep, though it's basically like tapping Atla Palani, Nest Tender twice in one turn.

Tokens

I'd build this deck Combo, because I'm a Johnny, but this is the Timmy way to play the deck. Very powerful, and very fun.

The obvious includes from running the deck this way would be the Doublers.

Doubling Season, card:Paralell Lives, Anointed Procession, and Primal Vigor. Perfect. Should also get an Smothering Tithe and Dockside Extortionist in here then.

Second Harvest seems pretty good as well.

You're already running Giant Adephage, which I think is absolutely sick in the Tokens build, did you know about Utvara Hellkite? The spoiler below consists of of Creatures that generate tokens by themselves that would work in this deck.

A group of Creatures I want to talk about before we move on to the Spoiler below are the Myriad Creatures:

• Caller of the Pack, Herald of the Host, Warchief Giant.

ESPECIALLY good with the Doublers because the Tokens you get from their Triggers DON'T GO AWAY, essentially making them HYPER powerful Giant Adephages.

Token Generators Show

The list below are all Creatures, so that means you can Cheese them out right?

• Mycoloth:

Still one of my favorite cards in the game, it's actually pretty good in this deck anyway, play it, Sac all your Eggs, and start generating Tokens for each Egg X2. Doubly good in conjunction with Doubling Season and Primal Vigor because it's abilities are doubled ON BOTH ENDS.

• Avenger of Zendikar:

Is a staple of EDH forsure, just gets better then longer them game goes on, the Old School Combo uses this in conjunction with Craterhoof Behemoth via Tooth and Nail to win the game on the spot.

• Omnath, Locus of Rage:

Makes a 5/5 every time you play a Land, not bad at all, especially considering that they hurt when they leave play.

• Dragon Broodmother:

Is very intersting because you can grow the Tokens slowly over the game, or just have them eat Eggs.

• Tendershoot Dryad:

Makes Tokens even on your Opponents' Turns, also makes them bigger eventually.

• Verdant Force:

A worse version of Tendershoot Dryad IMO.

• Godsire:

Makes big bois, it's actually pretty good because the Tokens it makes basically have Haste because of the Vigilance on the card, swing with Godsire, and then make the Token on the End Step of the Opponent before your turn.

• Worldspine Wurm:

A big boi who makes a couple smaller bois.

• Desolation Twin:

Makes a big boi ONCE.

• Armada Wurm:

Same as above.

• Arasta of the Endless Web:

Makes a Token whenever casts an Instant or Sorcery happens more often then you'd think.

Now this list below are things that aren't specifically generating Generic Tokens, they have effects similar to Mimic Vat.

Mimic Vat-likes. Show

All of these work very well with the the Doublers because you won't lose the Tokens, but are also powerful on their own. They also work well with Wurmcoil Engine.

Of course there's Feldon of the Third Path, you have it, and if you wanna go this route with the deck, I'd run it.

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

A Feldon of the Third Path but the Target doesn't need to be in the Grave, it also has an Infinite Combo with Zealous Conscripts.

• Splinter Twin:

Similar to Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, but you can stick it on ANY creature you control, if you stick it on Zealous Conscripts, it goes Infinite.

• Flameshadow Conjuring:

Makes Tokens of your Non-Tokens, not bad at all.

• Blade of Selves:

Gives the Equipt Creature Myriad, which is super good, hell, Equip it to an Egg and get an Atla Palani, Nest Tender Trigger for each Opponent.

• Bramble Sovereign:

A Flameshadow Conjuring but the Token always sticks around.

• Minion Reflector:

A higher costed version of Flameshadow Conjuring, but redundancy is key.

• Soul Foundry:

Slower then Mimic Vat, which is already slow IMO.

Now, I do like Populate and I'm making a deck around it with Ghired, Conclave Exile, but it's a Stax deck (which is frowned upon).

Populate works really well with abusing Tokens that you make of your own creatures, and also with the Myriad Creatures.

Populate Show

Now, you know about a good bit of Populate cards already, but I want to point something out.

Populate as we know it, is bad. Which is why I've been having a hard time building my Ghired deck. It's usually just too slow to compete with a lot of other Strategies out there.

The ones you know about:#

Growing Ranks: Sure, makes a Token every turn, but it's super slow, especially if we're only making Eggs, we're just not a Paradox Haze deck.

Wayfaring Temple: Is similar, it's slow, and the body doesn't justify the slowness, BUT, it's good in a different way that I'll go over in a separate section.

Sundering Growth, Druid's Deliverance, Rootborn Defenses are all decent with their utility, but they have superior replacements.

Song of the Worldsoul: Is actually probably the best of the Populate cards, even if it's just making Eggs.

Trostani, Selesnya's Voice: Decent enough with Untappers.

Wake the Reflections: One drop Populate, no bad.

Full Flowering: Seems decent enough.

Selesnya Eulogist: decent, Graveyard Hate, and repeatable.

Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage: Expensively Costed Ability, but repeatable.

Evasion and Overrun effcts Show

Typically Evasion makes it difficult to block a specific Creature, Flying, Menace, Trample are all typical forms of Evasion. In this Strat you're more of a "Go-Wide" game plan, so you want to make you're whole board evasive. I wont go into single target or purpose Evasion because I honestly don't think this deck needs it, no matter how you build it, but below are the best Overrun effects.

• Titanic Ultimatum: +5/+5, Lifelink, First Strike, Trample.

• Bloodspore Thrinax: Cheesable, Sac all your Eggs, then all your Eggs are bigger whenever they ETB.

• Decimator of the Provinces: It's okay, I've playing it in a couple of decks.

• Pathbreaker Ibex: Can be absolutely rediculous, see Xenagos, God of Revels.

• Predatory Focus: Flat full Board Unblockabl-ish.

• Thunderfoot Baloth: Cheesable, doesn't go away unless Removed.

• Beastmaster Ascension: +5/+5 is pretty damn good.

• Kamahl, Fist of Krosa: Cheesable and Repeatable.

• Craterhoof Behemoth; NUTSSSSSS

• Triumph of the Hordes: Will not make you any friends.

• Overwhelming Stampede: Can be veryyyyy good.

Tribal

Limiting the deck into Tribes is a good way to focus it into something you love and hold dear, luckily you're in good colors for a couple of cool Tribes, you can even focus into your own if you want.

Also, it enables the use of both Unclaimed Territory, and Cavern of Souls, and other fun cards like Descendants' Path and Shared Animosity.

Shapeshifter Tribal Show

.

The most interesting Tribal to go in my opinion, just run all the Changelings, and suddenly you have all the Eggs you'd ever want.

You could even run Gishath, Sun's Avatar in it, which is kind of funny.

Dino Tribal Show

.

Probably the way I'd run the deck if I was going Tribal, Gishath, Sun's Avatar would be the Secret Commander, and it'd make sense to run Zacama, Primal Calamity.

You could also run the Dino Reducers, there are a couple, which are really good.

Another interesting Strategy comes in the form of the Enrage Mechanic, which can be abused with cards like Forerunner of the Empire and Pyrohemia.

Wurm Tribal Show

.

There is actually a decent number of cards to support this Strat, and Wurms tend to be big and scary, I.E.:Elderscale Wurm

Giant Tribal Show

.

Enables Ancient Amphitheater, which is cool I guess.

Hamletback Goliath is one of my favorite cards though.

Angel Tribal Show

.

I mean, why not? Has Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Sigarda, Host of Herons, and Aurelia, the Warleader. All of which we'll be talking about later, and more.

Dragon Tribal Show

.

A very powerful tribe, also enables Haven of the Spirit Dragon.

Eldrazi Tribal Show

.

Enables Corrupted Crossroads, I guess?

Otherwise it's a powerful Tribe, problem being that you won't get any of their cast Triggers off of Atla Palani, Nest Tender.

Combo

So, this is how I'd play the deck, specifically because of the Combo mention in "High-Synergy". I love Combo-ing out on opponents before the know what hit them, I love going Infinite. Even my Millamar deck has a couple accidental Infinites in it.

Let's break down a couple of different ways this deck can actually combo out.

Traditional Atla Palani Combo Show

Quick recap: Atla Palani, Nest Tender + Thornbite Staff + Ashnod's Altar

The reason I really like Combo Decks, and how they play, is because they feature CONSISTENCY as their main way of winning the game. Some times it can become boring, because the deck usually always wins the same way, but other times you can really switch things up and win in weird convoluted ways you didn't even know where possible in your deck. So, this section seeks to breakdown exactly what kind of consistency we can run in a Combo centrick Atla Palani, Nest Tender Deck.

Consistency Help

I'll just give a couple examples.

Atla Palani, Nest Tender Equip with Thornbite Staff + Phyrexian Altar + Any of the Doublers. Same Combo essentially as above, but with different cards.

You could also run the Token Infinites, I.E., Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker or Splinter Twin and Zealous Conscripts

Or just Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Restoration Angel.

The Other Atla Palani, Nest Tender Combo Show

There's actually another way BUILT into Atla Palani, Nest Tender can go Infinite with just Mirror Entity, but it requires Atla to have atleast 1 +1/+1 Counter on her.

Since the Ability on Mirror Entity has a Cost of 0 potentially, it can put on the stack INFINITELY. The problem being that if Atla Palani, Nest Tender doesn't have a +1/+1 Counter on her, she dies to Mirror Entity's Ability. But, if she does, and she lives through his Ability, this happens.

1. Atla Palani has a +1/+1 Counter, Mirror Entity is in play.

2. You pay 0 for Mirror Entity Ability 1,000,000 times, THEY ALL GO ON THE STACK.

3. You let JUST THE TOP ONE RESOLVE. (The Stack Resolves from Top to Bottom).

4. Now, there are 999,999 Mirror Entity Abilities on the stack, and Mirror Entity dies to it's own Ability, it's an Egg so Atla Palani with a +1/+1 Counter's Ability goes on the stack.

5. You let Atla Palani with a +1/+1 Counter's Ability resolve, because it's on the Top of the Stack. Getting whatever the first Creature in your Library is.

6. The Creature ETB's go on the stack if any, you resolve them, and then let the 999,999th Mirror Entity that's now dead's Ability resolve, killing the Creature that just ETB'd, it's now an Egg though.

7. Repeat until you've played all the Creatures in your deck, and killed them.

This doesn't seem useful because you don't get to keep any of the creatures, but, it's better then you think because we can abuse ETB and Dies Triggers Infinitely.

HOW you ask?

Well, you'll just fill your Graveyard with all your Creatures, and you can't get them from the deck anymore right..?

Enter: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre. They shuffle your WHOLE Graveyard into you Library.

This will also actually work with Worldspine Wurm as well, making Infinite 5/5 Tokens, if you can give the Tokens 1 +1/+1 Counter when they ETB. (With Ivy Lane Denizen, for example, be sure to put a +1/+1 Counter on it before you Combo though.)

So you could just fill you Library with Creatures with ETBs that deal Damage, or Blow Up things, or with DIES Triggers that deal Damage (Alternate).

Infinite Combat Steps Show

Another common way to "Go Infinite" in your colors are by taking Infinite Combat Steps, and there are a couple of ways to do it.

The most common way is through Aggravated Assault and Creatures that Generate at least 5 Mana on Attack, I.E. Savage Ventmaw or the Nehebs.

Also works with Hellkite Charger the above cards and a Mana Dork or two, especially considering it also gives you Infinite Untaps as well. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds easily goes Infinite with either card.

Godo, Bandit Warlord, Aurelia, the Warleader, Port Razer, Breath of Fury and Combat Celebrant all go Infinite with Helm of the Host assuming your Creatures stick on Board.

Other Infinites Show

There are alot of Infinite Combos in EDH, in Magic in general, but there are a couple I want to point out because they use cards you might want to use any way.

Boros Reckoner + Anything that gives Indestructible + Anything that gives Lifelink = Infinite Life.

1. Target you Indestrcutible Lifelinker with it's own ability. It deals damage, you gain life, repeat as necessary.

Stuffy Doll + Guilty Conscience = Insta-Kill 1 Opponnent.

Brash Taunter + Guilty Conscience = Insta-Kill all Opponents.

Dockside Extortionist + Emiel the Blessed + you Oppononents having 4 or more Artifacts = Infinite Mana, and Infinite Bounce, which also means if you have card:Thousand-Year Elixar, you have Infinite Eggs.

Classic Good Stuff

This section encompasses the big bois that you might want to run, like Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, good stuff is generally defined by things that can stand alone be good. The "Good Stuff" Build usually just contains "Toolbox" Lists that deal with most problems, are hard to deal with, or provide great "Value".

The last of the Praetor Cycle in you colors is Urabrask the Hidden which isn't bad itself.

Pelakka Wurm would count in this section.

Darksteel Colossus and Blightsteel Colossus are both great here.

Cards like It That Betrays, Artisan of Kozilek, Void Winnower

The Eldrazi big bois themselves: Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Emrakul, the Promised End. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is unfortunately banned. You could also run Brisela, Voice of Nightmares, you'd have to run Bruna, the Fading Light and Gisela, the Broken Blade though.

Cards like Elderscale Wurm are "Good Stuff", so Platinum Emperion and Platinum Angel.

Classic "Good Stuff" Hydras: Apocalypse Hydra, Hydra Omnivore, Primordial Hydra, Lifeblood Hydra all provide extra "Value" by themselves, for instant Apocalypse Hydra is a huge body that can also be used for targeted Removal, or direct damage. Primordial Hydra gets bigger one it's own with no further investment. Lifeblood Hydra provides Life and Cards one death like Pelakka Wurm.

Inferno Titan provides repeatable Targeted damage, while Sun Titan Recurs things, while Primeval Titan IS BANNED.

Another good "Good Stuff" Cycle are the Primordials: Molten Primordial, Luminate Primordial and Sylvan Primordial THE LATTER BEING BANNED, NO GREEN CYCLES APPARENTLY.

You know about the Gearhulk Cycle: Combustible Gearhulk, Cataclysmic Gearhulk, though Verdurous Gearhulk is bad except in like, Animar, Soul of Elements and Hamza, Guardian of Arashin, so....

Even More Cheese

The big ones are Elvish Piper, and Quicksilver Amulet.

There's also Thran Temporal Gateway.

A couple of cool cards for Cheese:

• Lurking Predators: Continuous Cheese

• Kodama of the East Tree: Cheese whenever you Cheese, or whenever you don't Cheese.

• Court of Bounty: Cheese once a Turn.

• Wild Pair: Cheese when you cast.

• Pattern of Rebirth: Double Egg Cheese Once

• Genesis Wave: The Big Cheese.

• Genesis Hydra: The Little Cheese.

• Deathrender: Cheese on death.

• Eureka: One off Cheese for all.

• Hans Eriksson: Draw / Cheese.

• Sneak Attack: Temporary Cheese.

• Ilharg, the Raze-Boar: Another Temp Cheese.

• Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded: Anottherrr Temp Cheese, but just for Red Creatures.

• Summoner's Egg: Cheese once.

• Clone Shell: Cheese once, again.

• Primal Surge: MAXIMUM OVER CHEESE, if you run NO Instant or Sorceries.

• Defense of the Heart: Cheese on Upkeep

• Protean Hulk: Pretty good.
  

Good Sac Outlets

The best Sac Outlets are the ones that are free, and that act at Instant speed:

card:Phyrezian Altar, Ashnod's Altar, card:Alatar of Dementia, Goblin Bombardment, Fanatical Devotion: are the best, obviously.

Martyr's Cause seems decent, but situational.

Greater Good is good if you're not Sac-ing Eggs.

Then there are ones that have an additional cost, but provide additional benefits:

Skullclamp, Birthing Pod, Perilous Forays, Evolutionary Leap.

Theres also Eldritch Evolution that's kind of Tutor/Cheese.

Stax

Stax is named from the Card linked. It's based completely around Resource Denial, and traditionally runs Cards like Winter Orb, and Stasis.

Blue is super good for Stax, but White has some pretty stuff, and Sylesnia does too, even Red has good Stax pieces.

the whole Strat would be jamming your deck full of cards like this and cheesing them out so they don't effect you as hard, which actually doesn't seem like a bad idea. You get bodies out of the Library, and slow down your opponents' game plans. Sounds like a win-win.

Void Winnower was a card mentioned above, and it's a Stax card, its a 9 Drop, but we can cheese it out.

• Search Hate:

Aven Mindcensor, Stranglehold, Leonin Arbiter.

• Anti-Cheese:

Containment Priest: I wouldn't run this.

• Slow Casting:

• Anti-Counters

Solemnity: Combos with Dark Depths.

Big Damage

You have Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, and Fiery Emancipation in the Maybe Board, and if you want to go this route, here's some more help.

• Heartless Hidetsugu

Insta kills EVERYONE, even you, with Fiery card:Emancipation, though you can give him Lifelink, and instead, gain a ridiculous amount of life with like Loxodon Warhammer or Behemoth Sledge.

Malignus is similar, theres also Quietus Spike and Scytheclaw

• Damage Doublers:

Angrath's Marauders, Fiendish Duo, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Goblin Goliath, all Cheesable.

Bitter Feud, Curse of Bloodletting, Dictate of the Twin Gods, Quest for Pure Flame, Furnace of Rath.

Incidental Damage:

The best, and Cheesable, is Purphoros, God of the Forge.

There's also Warstorm Surge, Impact Tremors, Pandemonium.

Protection

This section is super intersting because it contains two cards; Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves. Which are the MOST PLAYED Cards in EDH behind Sol Ring. I'd run them both, they protect Atla Palani, Nest Tender and let you use her as soon as you play her usually.

Like I mentioned above, Avacyn, Angel of Hope is probably the best Protection you could run, also Archetype of Endurance, kinda of a Win Condition.

Protection Artifacts: Show

Commander's Plate, Whispersilk Cloak, Soul of New Phyrexia, Champion's Helm, Mask of Avacyn, Mirror Shield, Ring of Evos Isle, Darksteel Plate, Eldrazi Monument, Hammer of Nazahn, That Which Was Taken, Cloak and Dagger, General's Kabuto, Akroma's Memorial, Sanctuary Blade, Amulet of Safekeeping.

• Theres always the Swords:

Cheesable Protection Show

Samite Elder, Thornscape Master, Devoted Caretaker, Eight-and-a-Half-Tails, Giver of Runes, Mother of Runes,

Spearbreaker Behemoth: Good protection for your big Creatures.

Oak Street Innkeeper: Atla Palani, Nest Tender protection.

Stalking Vengeance: Board Wipe Protection.

Dauntless Escort, Selfless Savior, Selfless Spirit, Alseid of Life's Bounty, Benevolent Bodyguard, Cliffside Rescuer: Cheesable with Sun Titan too.

Sigarda, Host of Herons: Sac Protection.

Stonehoof Chieftain: Protection on attack.

Bronzehide Lion, Deathless Angel: Decent.

Frontline Medic: Two forms of protection.

Shalai, Voice of Plenty: Real damn good.

True Believer, Aegis of the Gods, Leyline of Sanctity, Nine Lives, Ivory Mask: Protection for your face.

Yomiji, Who Bars the Way: Very good.

• Anti-Counterspell

Vexing Shusher, Allosaurus Shepherd, Boseiju, Who Shelters All, Destiny Spinner, Domri, Anarch of Bolas, Dragonlord Dromoka, Gaea's Herald, Leyline of Lifeforce, Prowling Serpopard, Rhythm of the Wild, Spellbreaker Behemoth.

One-Off Protection Show

Fresh Meat, Faith's Reward, Savage Summoning, Wrap in Vigor, Fecundity, Second Sunrise, Heroic Intervention, Rootborn Defenses, Boros Charm, Flawless Maneuver, Adamant Will, Ajani's Presence, Assure / Assemble, Akroma's Will, Ephemeral Shields, Fight as One, Join Shields, Inspiring Call, Karametra's Blessing, Mortal's Resolve, Sheltering Light, Survive the Night, Withstand Death, Valorous Stance, Blinding Fog, Blossoming Defense, Hapatra's Mark, Ranger's Guile, Sheltering Word, Woodcutter's Grit, Gilded Light, Akroma's Blessing, Apostle's Blessing, Aven Warcraft, Bathe in Light, Blessed Breath, Brave the Elements, Center Soul, Emerge Unscathed, Faith's Shield, Feat of Resistance, Gods Willing, Razor Barrier, Redeem the Lost, Reverent Mantra, Shelter, Spare from Evil, Stave Off.

This isn't even all of them honestly, and you should'nt run any of the one off unless thye provide additional Value, or only cost 1 Mana, you want to use your turns for casting things, and so you don't want to leave a bunch of Mana up all the time slowing down your game plan. That being said, everything listed in this catagory is playable, and alot of people use them.

Interaction (Non-Blue Counterspells) Show

Burnout, Red Elemental Blast, Pyroblast, Silence, Veil of Summer, Autumn's Veil, Artifact Blast, Dawn Charm, Guttural Response, Lifeforce, Mana Tithe, Molten Influence, Order of the Sacred Torch, Not of This World, Null Brooch, Ring of Immortals, Warping Wail.

Untapping

There isn't a whole lot of Untapping shinanigans to be had in Naya, it's typically a card:|Blue thing, but theres a couple. You want Untappers that can be reused over and over again, so none of the one off spells are very good.

• Instill Energy: Good, the untap is free, and it only costs 1 Mana.

• Great Oak Guardian: Works once, but it give you another Egg if you hit is with Atla, and it buffs your board.

• Magewright's Stone: Classic untapper.

• Nature's Chosen: Similar to Instill Energy.

• Puppet Strings: Another Classic untapper, better synergy with Tap Abilities that don't have a cost.

• Quirion Ranger: Better then you'd think later game.

• Samut, Voice of Dissent: Pretty good, Cheesable and is a Haste enabler.

• Seeker of Skybreak: Classic Green Untapper

• Staff of Domination: Goes infinited with Infinite Mana, which means Infinite Tokens with Atla Palani, Nest Tender.

• Taranika, Akroan Veteran: Doubles as protection.

• Thousand-Year Elixir: Similar to Samut, Voice of Dissent, a stable in a lot of decks.
  

Tutors

Tutors are the key to maximum consistency, most of the stronger decks contain some ammount of Tutors. I'll list my favorites down below, but also supply as list of all the possible Tutors in EDH.

List of EDH Tutor Cards

Worldly Tutor and Sylvan Tutor which are super good in this deck.

Mwonvuli Beast Tracker and Brutalizer Exarch are also super good. Put the best Creature in the Library on top, and Cheese it out with Atla Palani, Nest Tender: Super powerful considering you can also Cheese them out.

Conduit of Ruin works on Eldrazi.

Fierce Empath, Primal Command, Imperial Recruiter, Green Sun's Zenith, Gamble, Finale of Devastation are all super playable.

Tooth and Nail is a Green staple, SUPER POWERFUL. So is Congregation at Dawn

Mill?

Uh, you could try...?

There's the Grindstone + Painter's Servant Combo.

And cards like Keening Stone, and Sands of Delirium.

There's also Altar of Dementia. So it's do-able, but would be real hard.

I was making a Mono-Green Mill Deck, which is near impossible, with Grothama, All-Devouring.

To Answer Your Original Question

The Pre-Cons were built with the intention of getting news players into Magic. They're not supposed to be powerful, they're meant to be fun to play with, against each other. You can get pretty far just making 10 small changes even, if you wanted.

There's always a super budget way to build, so you don't have to break the bank, with that in mind, it's also cool to start building a collection, and getting cards you love and want to play with.

Personally I think these cards:

• Cragplate Baloth, Heart-Piercer Manticore, Admonition Angel, Angel of Sanctions, Condemn, are bad.

They can easily be pulled out because they have easy upgrades that are within a budget.

Other cards I think slow the deck down, but, can possibly be played in decks:

• YOU DON'T NEED 39 Lands, IDK WHY THEY DID THAT.

• Ghired, Conclave Exile: Unless you're Populating Giant Adephages, it's slow, you're not going to be making Eggs efficiently, and you'd rather cheese out Avacyn, Angel of Hope.

• Growing Ranks: Similar to the above problem.

• Hornet Queen: Much better with the Doublers, but still, not great.

• Idol of Oblivion: Absolutely playable in a lot of decks, though I don't really think this deck wants to Draw cards specifically, better with the Doublers.

• Intangible Virtue: You can't swing with the Eggs, and the buff isn't worth it otherwise.

• Marisi, Breaker of the Coil: Just doesn't belong in this deck.

• Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar: Good in conjunction with Land Fall, and Multi-Land Dropers, a wasted slot here.

• Naya Charm: This ones up for debate, if you like it, keep it, but I think there's better 3 Mana choices out there.

• Thragtusk: This card got Worldfire Banned, since then, I haven't played it.

• Wayfaring Temple: Is just slow, play it though if you really want the Populate.

• Colossal Majesty: The condition can be hard to meet sometimes, especially for only getting one card out of it.

• Elemental Bond: Much better then the above card, but they both can be replaced with cards like Soul of the Harvest or Primordial Sage.

• Garruk's Packleader: Better then Elemental bond because it can be cheesed, but again Guardian Project.

• Momentous Fall: Much better in Decks like Xenagos, God of Revels and Kresh the Bloodbraided.

• The Mana Dorks: Avacyn's Pilgrim, Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves, Llanowar Tribe you'd hate to see them Cheesed out.

• Chromatic Lantern: Can be replaced with a better Mana Base, which means that you'll never need it because you'll essentially passively have it every game.

• Hour of Reckoning: You want your Wipes to deal with your Eggs.

• Naturalize, Slice in Twain: They're a good stand in for now but remeber Krosan Grip and Nature's Claim.

Cards in the Aquire Board you said you want to make room for that I wouldn't run:

• card:Ember Cleave: It's really a Voltron style card, rarely will it do much for you in this deck, though sure is Doulbe Double damage with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

• Voice of Resurgence: Has fallen out of favor lately.

• Zacama, Primal Calamity: His ability is a Cast Trigger, which Atla Palani, Nest Tender doesn't give you.

• Soulblast: Better in decks like card:Kresh the Blooddraided, Burn at the Stake would be a better fit though. Fling is the better choice for throwing giant creatures, also Thud.

Honestly this Deck can be optimized in two ways, run ALLLLLL the Creatures, the biggest scariest ones, OR, run like 4 Creatures, because then you'll always hit them, the former is probably the strongest way to build. but then you're getting into CEDH territory, aiming to Combo out on like Turn 3, which is possible in this deck, (Thanks Fast Mana).

So i'd say play with the Deck, and really make some hard choices, cutting some cards you love even because they get stuck in your hand, or they don't work out well most of the time. Optimization is difficult, it takes time. Everything that I shared above, throughout this whole Deck Description is the cullmination of years of playing Magic, optimizing my own decks, and looking up thousands of Cards. I remember a time when you'd always beat me (Still gives me PTSD, so does this babe.). So have fun with it, read as much as you can, and if you have any more questions, I promise it won't take three weeks to answer them.
