"Be careful where you tread. You never know what you might awaken in the jungle."

This is a stompy creature cheat deck developed from merging the Commander 2019 Primal Genesis precon and the Shards of Alara Naya Behemoths precon. The goal is to get Atla Palani, Nest Tender out, create eggs, and cheat everything else out by either using the eggs as chump blockers or sacrificing them to:

Win con #1: A good old-fashioned "turn sideways" beat down maximized with Titanic Ultimatum or Akroma's Will. Swing multiple times with Hellkite Charger + Savage Ventmaw + 1 mana per extra combat step (or add Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to make an additional copy of Savage Ventmaw per combat step to enter a combo to generate infinite mana and, therefore, infinite combat steps).

Win con #2: Ashnod's Altar + Atla Palani, Nest Tender + Thornbite Staff . Sacrifice a creature to Ashnod's Altar to float 2 mana (which allows Atla Palani, Nest Tender to untap with Thornbite Staff), use the 2 floating mana to create an egg to sacrifice, and enter an infinite combo in order to play every creature out of the deck.

Win con #3: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts . Get lucky and hatch both from eggs, or tutor for them directly through Defense of the Heart). Tap Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to make a copy of Zealous Conscripts, use that to untap Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and enter an infinite combo to make infinite copies of Zealous Conscripts.

Win con #4: Atla Palani, Nest Tender + Maskwood Nexus + (Goblin Bombardment, Blasting Station, or Altar of Dementia). Sacrifice a creature (since Maskwood Nexus makes any creature an egg) and keep sacrificing anything that hatches until either Ilharg, the Raze-Boar or Vigor enters the battlefield. Since they get put back into the library upon being sent to the graveyard, they can be sacrificed and cycled to infinitely ping for 1 damage with Goblin Bombardment or Blasting Station or infinitely mill opponents with Altar of Dementia.

Win con #5: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Thornbite Staff + (Goblin Bombardment, Blasting Station, or Altar of Dementia) + another non-legendary creature. Tap Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to create a token copy of another non-legendary creature, sacrifice it to Goblin Bombardment, Blasting Station, or Altar of Dementia, untap Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker with Thornbite Staff, and repeat to infinitely ping for 1 damage or infinitely mill opponents.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions! After a lot of playtesting, I've added a lot more sac outlets. This deck's point is to cheat the creatures out since they're all high mana cost, and without a sac outlet, it's not feasible unless there was a lot of ramp. In order to have some amount of ramp as a backup, the 3 signets returned, and the addition of Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth makes Three Visits and Skyshroud Claim even more potent.

Thanks for looking!
