"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 not cast a single creature except for Atla Palani, Nest Tender and cheat everything else out by cracking eggs, using them as chump blockers until one of the following sac outlets arrive/are tutored for:

Win con #1: A good ol' fashioned "turn sideways" beat down maximized with Titanic Ultimatum or Akroma's Will. Swing multiple times with Hellkite Charger + Savage Ventmaw + 1 mana per combat step (or alternatively, using Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to make an extra copy of Savage Ventmaw for infinite mana and, therefore, infinite combat steps). Use Thornbite Staff to untap Atla Palani, Nest Tender in order to get out as many eggs as possible at a time.

Win con #2: Ashnod's Altar + Atla Palani, Nest Tender + Thornbite Staff . Tap Atla + 2 mana to create an egg, sac the egg to the altar to float 2 mana (which allows Atla to untap with the staff, since a creature died), and enter an infinite combo in order to play every creature out of the deck. Don't bring everything out if worried about a board wipe, but enough for lethal since many creatures also have great synergies with each other (like Akroma, Vision of Ixidor or Kamahl, Heart of Krosa).

Win con #3: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts . Hatch from eggs or tutor directly through Defense of the Heart) to make an infinite number of Conscripts. Use Worldly Tutor to find one if the other is in hand/on the battlefield.

Win con #4: Atla Palani, Nest Tender + (Maskwood Nexus or Shields of Velis Vel) + (Goblin Bombardment, Blasting Station, or Altar of Dementia). Sacrifice any non-Atla creature (since Maskwood Nexus and Shields of Velis Vel makes any creature an egg) and keep sacrificing anything that comes out until either Ilharg, the Raze-Boar or Vigor hatches. Since they get put back into the library upon being sent to the graveyard, they can be sacced 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 the creature, sacrifice it, untap with Thornbite Staff, and repeat to infinitely ping for 1 damage with Goblin Bombardment or Blasting Station or infinitely mill opponents with Altar of Dementia.

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!
