atla palani
I’m trying to make an edh deck based around atla palani, which big creatures come in mind? And what spells to include?
Well, not a big creature, but you should have the combo tech for Atla Palani, which is Mirror Entity , Thornbite Staff and Ashnod's Altar .
Then you probably also want some big boys or value producers to go along with those combos. For example, Avenger of Zendikar goes along pretty well with the Mirror Entity combo. Additionally, Polyraptor , Gruul Ragebeast , Verdant Sun's Avatar , Trostani, Selesnya's Voice could be big help too.
In terms of card advantage, you probably want Soul of the Harvest , Mentor of the Meek , Garruk's Packleader , Garruk's Horde
Also haste enablers like Urabrask the Hidden , Anger , Fervor , Fires of Yavimaya , Hammer of Purphoros , Rhythm of the Wild . Another great combo would Shifting Shadow , which'll get you a two for one if you attach it to an egg (although the second creature gains haste, but will die)
Also graveyard things such as Adarkar Valkyrie , Deadwood Treefolk , Genesis would be vital for the deck because you will be a target.
Finally, may I suggest a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo pack? Zealous Conscripts and Restoration Angel are in the right colors.

dbpunk what mana rocks should I include? And which lands to include?
August 17, 2019 12:57 a.m.
I would include Gruul Signet and Selesnya Signet
Obviously Sol Ring
I think you can probably get a lot of your ramp from spells like Rampant Growth , Kodama's Reach , and Nature's Lore
Other rocks I guess could be the talismans like Talisman of Conviction , Talisman of Impulse and Talisman of Unity

I would say it depends on your budget after the fact.
If budget isn't an issue, go nuts. Get really good dual lands like shocklands, get some filter lands, make sure you have the signets and the talismans. My biggest suggestion is Mana Confluence or City of Brass . It's really easy to replace the life lost from those using life gaining creatures. Also, you probably want to run some lands like Strip Mine or Field of Ruin .
If budget is an issue, I'd suggest guildgates and other cheap dual lands.

Also as a good rule of thumb, I always attempt to run Thought Vessel , Sol Ring and any signet available

Atla Palani, Nest Tender
I would include cards like Nesting Dragon , Dragon Egg and Roc Egg so you can get some triggers without the tokens she makes. Changeling cards will work as well.
Worldspine Wurm is good unrelated but there is a combo with Ashnod's Altar and Runed Stalactite That will let you just go through you your entire deck of creatures till you get the one you want. Then if possible use a card like Faith's Reward or Brought Back to get some creatures you sacrificed that turn while you were cycling through your deck.
