Needs help thinning down.

Wanted to do land destruction, with lots of wrath style control. Have also been wanting to do an indestructible tribal deck. Found plenty of land destruction style decks in5 color, boros, and more, but no listed as a theme for naya. Atla Palani is the perfect solution. Instead of using this to create some sort of infinite egg sacrifice aristocrat loop (boring), the goal is to crank out as many eggs as possible early on, then wrath. The ramp in this deck is all instant/sorcery, saving room for those eggs to hit straight gas. The idea is to then destroy all lands, and use the indestructible/crazy powerful beaters to finish the other players in a turn or two.

I do not support land destruction out of spite, to slow the game down.Its just worse stax. I'd rather play more games, and no one likes a perfectly good game being restarted by an out of nowhere jokulhops, because boros is mad he didn't ramp. This is aggro, with land destruction as a central strategy. Atla Palani has the added benefit of being fairly unassuming, so as long as you ramp quietly for a few turns, counter spells aren't being held up for 'your cute little egg deck'. Then you drop 70 toughness, indestructible, haste, on the board, while your opponents are without blockers, on turn 5.

I really like planeswalkers as value engines. Ajani Vengeant feels like a good fit for this strategy. But this deck is slow, and is why Ajani vengeant should stay in the maybeboard. Most decks run target removal, graveyard hate, or counters. Land protection is typically a resource not included. The best way to deal with the controller of a land destruction deck is to destroy them before they go off, and that's what will happen. So unless there is hand hating shenanigans, stealthy, quiet preparation is the key.

All feedback appreciated.
