The Great Egg Hunt — Hide an Egg

Commanded by Jean Grey, Easter Phoenix, this Naya (red/green/white) 100-Card Commander Deck is Easter Sunday on the lawn of the Xavier mansion, and the whole multiverse has been invited. Jean, who has come back from the dead more often than anyone in comics, rises out of a golden egg of phoenix fire; the Easter Bunny has hidden nine hundred eggs; and every egg has a hero in it. Easter is the feast of the return, so the cast is the heroes who came back — Superman after Doomsday, Bucky Barnes out of the ice, Jason Todd out of the Lazarus Pit, Goku back from Other World, Swamp Thing every spring — plus every rabbit, duck, frog and egg-layer the comics own: Captain Carrot, Miyamoto Usagi, Spider-Ham, Howard the Duck, Throg, Piccolo (Namekians really do lay eggs), Michelangelo and Raphael, Grogu who eats the eggs, Rocket Raccoon in bunny ears he did not agree to, and Batman in bunny ears he did not agree to either. The party-crashers are on your side: Egghead fills eggs with confetti, Black Cat steals the baskets and Multiple Man makes eleven of himself. The crossover cast also includes Nightcrawler, Hope Summers, Cyclops, Kitty Pryde, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Beast Boy, Damian Wayne, Deadpool and Groot.

• Hide an Egg: one mechanic, word for word on twenty cards — "Exile a creature card from your hand. Create a 0/1 Egg artifact creature token with defender and 'At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice this.' When that Egg leaves the battlefield, the exiled card hatches: put it onto the battlefield under your control." The hero waits face up where the whole table can see it, and arrives a turn later for free.
• Break it, it hatches: opponents can't stop an Egg, only choose when it opens. Block with it and Goku comes out in the middle of combat; wrath the board and your heroes hatch onto an empty battlefield. Grogu, Raphael, Martian Manhunter, The Easter Bunny and Crack the Shells! sacrifice Eggs whenever you want.
• The commander says the whole plan: flying; at the beginning of your end step, Hide an Egg; whenever a creature you control hatches, it gains haste until end of turn and Jean deals 1 damage to each opponent.
• The cards that read the hatch: Superman exiles a nonland permanent, Goku deals 5 damage, Bucky and Throg deal 3, Swamp Thing fetches two lands, Howard the Duck draws two; Hope Summers adds two +1/+1 counters, Wonder Woman grants indestructible, Cyclops deals 2 on every hatch, Michelangelo makes a Rabbit, The Easter Basket draws a card — while Egghead burns each opponent whenever an Egg leaves, Captain Carrot and Batman grow on every Egg you hide, and Damian Wayne hits harder with two Eggs out.

Why Naya

Red is the Phoenix fire and the chocolate-fuelled chaos. Green is spring — the garden, the creatures that hatch and grow. White is the sunrise, the return and the party on the lawn. No blue on purpose: Jean's telepathy stays home this Sunday. Two combos close the game: The Bunny Hop — hide Nightcrawler, Bamf Bunny in an Egg, sacrifice it to The Easter Bunny, Basket Bearer for free, Nightcrawler hatches and Jean deals 1 damage to each opponent, Nightcrawler returns himself to hand and the Bunny hides him again, for unbounded damage, Rabbits with Michelangelo and cards with The Easter Basket; and Eggs-tra Copies — Multiple Man copies Black Cat, Egg Thief, the copy untaps Multiple Man, and he copies her again for unbounded hasty Black Cats, each one stealing a blocker. The Golden Egg, Signet of the Painted Egg, Talisman of Spring, Golden Easter Chick, Spring Garden Sprite, Groot, Spring Planting, Morning Dew Path and Pastel Dye Kit ramp; The Great Egg Hunt tutors; Turned into a Bunny, Phoenix Flare, Hatched Into a Chick, Spring Cleaning and Rotten Egg Barrage remove threats; Phoenix Sunrise is the only sweeper and hides an Egg right after; The Easter Basket, Spring Has Sprung, Martian Manhunter and Howard the Duck draw; Safe in the Basket and Bunny Slippers of Haste protect; Spring Forward! finishes.
