Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds + Atla Palani, Nest Tender + Umbral Collar Zealot + Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds

Atla Palani, Nest Tender

Umbral Collar Zealot

Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

How it works

1. Activate Atla by paying 2 and tapping it, creating an 0/1 Egg creature token with defender.
2. Activate Ghired by tapping a nontoken creature you control, creating a copy of the Egg token.
3. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing an Egg token.
4. When the Egg dies, Atla triggers, causing you to reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card and put it onto the battlefield.
5. Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability.
6. Repeat from step 2.

This loop turns Atla Palani, Nest Tender's Egg-hatching engine into a rapid-fire recruitment drive by leveraging Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds to endlessly copy those Eggs the turn they enter. To fuel this cloning process immediately, Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu provides a vital dual function: it grants your nontoken creatures haste so they can tap for Ghired's ability right away, while also generating the specialized mana needed to power these activations. Finally, Umbral Collar Zealot acts as the necessary sacrifice outlet to crack open each new Egg, triggering Atla Palani's death ability while smoothing your draws with surveil 1 so you can quickly dump every single creature from your library straight onto the battlefield.
