Infinite Dino eggs - who could hate you for that?

Edit: this is currently my favourite deck to play by a large margin :)

This is my first take at Atla Palani. It is 'tribal' Dino deck, that is not boring to play. Instead of going the classical tribal route of pump and dump, we are exploiting Atla Palani's ability to cheat the best dinos with ETBs onto the battlefield. This is combined with tons of ways to sac eggs and ping dinos or eggs for more value off of eggs and enrage activations.

We are mainly concerned with value but we also run the usual Atla Palani combos. These are

• Atla Palani, Nest Tender + Mirror Entity and any buff on Atla Palani
• Ashnod's Altar + Atla Palani, Nest Tender + Thornbite Staff
• Marauding Raptor + Polyraptor and a way to stop the combo
• Forerunner of the Empire + Polyraptor

Piloting

We do not rely on these combos to win the game. The idea is to crack some Eggs as soon as possible and synergize with sac outlets and pingers. That is why Goblin Bombardment or Natural Order are included. Goblin Bombardment doubles up as an Enrage trigger and in this way we get as much value as we can out of out eggs. Enrage Dinosaurs give us access to situational tools such as Trapjaw Tyrant, Ripjaw Raptor, Silverclad Ferocidons or Deathgorge Scavenger that can be activated with cards such as Pyrohemia.

This deck is in no way meant to be highly competitive, it is intended for semi-casual play at a medium power-level. Both the eggs and the dinosaurs give a surprising amount of political options and the deck still can go off, if you wish to. Unlike most combo decks however, gameplay is not at all linear and oftentimes we win thanks to out-valuing our opponents.

Any suggestions are welcome! I will try to keep this list updated.
