Atla Palani - Polymorph & Enraged Dinosaurs (EDH / Commander)

This deck aims for Atla Palani to generate a few eggs on the field as early as possible, and then popping them to bring out threats early in the game. If this gameplan is halted, then the backup plan is to hardcast the high cost cards and get the value engine going via the Enrage mechanic.

Over time, this deck has gotten more consistent through tutors & focuses more on getting a combo win set up (although not Kiki Jiki levels of a combo win).

It is also important to get an engine like Skullclamp onto the field if you can. Tutors help with this a lot!

Some key cards & combos that can end up being degenerate are:

• Ashnod's Altar + Thornbite Staff equipped on Atla Palani (can make an egg, sacrifice it to regain the mana spent to make the egg, Polymorph a creature from your deck onto the battlefield, repeat as many times as you like)
• Seedborn Muse (Atla can generate an egg on each player's turn)
• Silverclad Ferocidons or Trapjaw Tyrant + Pyrohemia triggers
• Seedborn Muse + Thornbite Staff + Enrage triggers
• Polyraptor + some kind of recurrable damage source (typically Marauding Raptor) for lots/infinite Polyraptors. Needs a sac outlet to stop the infinite loop if you do actually go infinite, otherwise this ends the game in a Draw.
• Congregation at Dawn & popping 3 eggs in 1 turn with a sac outlet available to fetch Marauding Raptor-Polyraptor-Haste Enabler creature to win the game.

Some other plays to watch out for include casting Nissa, Vital Force, using their + ability and then using her ultimate ability the next turn if they survive to get huge value for the rest of the game.

One important thing to watch out for is over committing to the board. Try to have at least 1 egg on the board at all times in case the board is wiped (so that you still end up having a board presence after a board wipe).

This deck also has Rule of Law & Deafening Silence to act as Tempo Slowdown cards. In the meta I have played, opponents typically play more cards per turn, while the high CMC cards of this deck basically only lets it play 1 (maybe 2) spells per turn. These cards will help you keep up with your opponents if you are able to play them.
