the big boys are coming. there's no room for weak low cost creatures in this deck! no! I won't put in those cheap eggs or 1/1 changelings just to waste my atla triggers, if I manage to make an egg die with atla in play I want this to matter!

the core of the deck is big creatures with strong effects/etb abilities, to get those into play you just have to have an egg die while Atla Palani, Nest Tender is on the battlefield, to make them die there are a bunch of sacrifice engines AND there are also many mass removal cards that make everybody sacrifice creatures. there's also a bunch of the usual ramp, a bit of card advantage and protection for atla.

this deck isn't aimed at winning with infinite combos but there are some.

  • Woodfall Primus + Luminous Broodmoth/The Great Henge/Rhythm of the Wild + any sacrifice engine: sacrifice woodfall primus, make it come back with a flying counter if it didn't have one or a -1/-1 counter if it had a flying one (the other effect fizzles) or just put a +1/+1 counter that nullifies the -1/-1 one with the other 2 cards, destroy a noncreature permanent then repeat to destroy all your opponents' lands and other noncreature permanents when you want, plus infinite mana if the sac engine is Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar (if you don't have any targets for woodfall primus's trigger but yuo need the mana you can just sacrifice it before the destroy ability triggers, while targeting the same permanent multiple times so you don't have to destroy yours to get some mana).

  • Mirror Entity + anything that gives toughness to Atla Palani, Nest Tender (Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers, Rhythm of the Wild, Blossoming Defense, Vines of Vastwood, Shields of Velis Vel): even at instant speed you can put on the stack a billion 0 cost mirro entity triggers making all your creatures 0/0 eggs and destroying them (but not atla which has +1/+1), basically putting your whole deck worth of creatures with etb effects into the battlefield (and kill them right after they enter the battlefield), until worldspine wurm is the only creature left and is repeatedly shuffled back in the deck. at this point, IF you also have a sac engine, you can sacrifice the wurm once for every atla trigger on the stack, for each time the wurm dies you get 3 more creatures that are considered eggs and die triggering atla, this way you can get ~a fantazilion 5/5 tramplers on the last trigger right before your turn. If i wanted this to be instawin with infinite etb triggers I could just put a Purphoros, God of the Forge in the deck, which is a creature and can be put into play by atla, but wouldn't die due to becoming a 0/0 since it wouldn't be a creature while on the battlefield. also with Kozilek, Butcher of Truth I could reshuffle my whole graveyard into my library every time it dies, meaning I could get infinite etb effects AND since each time Worldspine Wurm died I'd get 3 more atla triggers before the next mirror entity trigger on the stack, I'd have infinite atla triggers on the last mirror entity trigger, gettin ~50% of the creatures in my deck to permanently stay on the battlefield.

  • Thornbite Staff + Ashnod's Altar +Atla Palani, Nest Tender: (you can equip the staff to Atla Palani, Nest Tender for free since she's a shaman), make an egg paying 2 mana, sac it to the altar and get 2 mana back, untap atla with the staff trigger, put a big creature into play, repeat. obviously this turns to not-infinite with any other sac engine but putting a big boy into the battlefield for 2 mana while untapping atla is already insane and if you don't have a sac engine you can always pay 2, make an egg, untap on your turn, pay 2 to use the staff to deal 1 damage to the 0/1 egg, put a big boy into the battlefield and untap atla, ready to make another egg, basically a big boy per turn for 4 mana.
