MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Many combos with Atla :
with Miror entity (you need to run a great eldrazi and one a several creature with damage-ETB)
with thornibte staff and ashnod's altar (and Atla making a lot of eggs)
Some others "changelin" stuffs and a sac outlet.
Sounds good for competitive duel commander (but unfun in multicommander)
Am I wrong in thinking that Atla, equipped with thornebite staff, and Ashnod’s altar on board, would allow you to loop to get an entire deck of creatures onto the battlefield?
Make an egg, sac it to the altar to make mana, the egg dies and triggers Atla and the staff, untapping Atla and putting a creature out. You would make the mana to do it again.
Her creature type is even shaman
Have hellraiser goblin in the deck as a haste enabler and you might be able to swing for lethal on everyone
Building atla as a combo deck is exceptionally boring. You are playing naya and only putting 2 creatures in your deck? If all you are trying to do is win games you can do so much better.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I'd go for flavor and build a deck full of Dinosaurs and Dragons around her.

"Boring" is subjective. To me, hitting something like a Birds of Paradise or an Oracle of Mul Daya off of an Atla trigger sounds boring.
Although you're right, there are much better options for tryhard combo players.
