Some notes about the deck.

The "Egg" category of cards is very loosely defined. Basically any card that interacts with eggs, be it creating them or synergizing with them, will go in this category.

Reinforcements is a card I think is underplayed in Atla Palani decks. I can understand it not being used in more combo-y builds of the deck, but for the big dumb creatures strategy that I've gone for, it's great for recovering from a boardwipe that took out a lot of good creatures.

I marked Steelshaper's Gift and Open the Armory as card draw and as a sac outlet because 9 times out of 10 i'll use them to fetch Skullclamp, which works as both.

I'm playing a couple pet cards in here. Insurrection is not super great because some games I don't even get to 8 mana, but it's very funny if it resolves while I have a sacoutlet in play.

Oath of Druids is hilarious. It warps games like crazy, but still in a way that is usually pretty good for me because I will usually have the biggest creatures.

I tried making most of my ramp spells 2 mana so that I could get Atla Palani out a turn early. I also tried avoiding too many utility creatures because I didn't want to get them from an egg trigger. The deck is very light on card draw because I don't want to accidentally draw too many of the strong creatures.

Some of the maybeboard cards are cards I do plan on getting, but don't want to spend too much money too quickly on, and some are cards I'm not sure about. What do you think about Hidden Retreat? Is it playable?

Btw, there are a couple combos in the deck. Thornbite Staff works with Ashnod's Altar or more indirectly with Phyrexian Altar + Anointed Procession. There's a couple more ways to combo with phyrexian altar but they're 5 card combs so they will almost never come up.
