Nice deck. I do have a few suggestions though. I'll try to break it down by category.

Card draw: Primordial Sage and Tishana, Voice of Thunder .

Bounce Enablers: Equilibrium and/or Tidespout Tyrant . Both can be used to bounce opponents stuff also.

Turn 2 Animar: Exploration and Wild Cantor .

Haste Enablers: Ogre Battledriver and Urabrask the Hidden . Turns all your mana dorks into cloudstone combo pieces and immediate threats.

Board Protection/Interaction: Draining Whelk , Stratus Dancer , Glen Elendra Archmage , and Heroic Intervention .

Last is Spellseeker to look up Cyclonic Rift, Glimpse of Nature, Pact of Negation etc.

Very similar to my Animar list. Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Feedback, Upvotes, and/or Ideas on any of my decklists is appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid

Misc.: Drop - Angler Drake, Exclusion Mage, Ezuri's Archers, Filligree Familiar, Mercurial Chemister, Ornithopter, Spawnwrithe, Pelt collector, Tilonalli's Summoner, Warbreak Trumpeteer, and Wildfire Eternal. Add- Cloud of Faeries , Great Whale , Temur Sabertooth (and Equilibrium / Tidespout Tyrant mentioned above), Fierce Empath , Den Protector , Stratus Dancer , Ainok Survivalist , Ogre Battledriver , and Momir Vig, Simic Visionary .

Also, you 100% need to put Ancestral Statue in. Targets itself with its' own ETB and goes infinite due to eventually costing nothing to cast.

Anyways, feel free to check out my list for inspiration. Feedback, Upvotes, and/or Ideas on any of my decklists is appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid

Nice deck. Very very similar to mine but I don't run Kiki combos. I do have a few suggestions though.

Stratus Dancer and Draining Whelk in place of 2 of your counterspells.

I'd find room for Exploration for another T2 Animar option that's still useful later.

A few more bounce enablers couldn't hurt, consider Equilibrium and/or Tidespout Tyrant.

I'd also replace Pestermite with Zealous Conscripts. Pestermite isn't very good outside of Kiki combos, Conscripts is.

Fierce Empath and Glimpse of Nature are also very good here.

Cuts: Both Darksteel and Blightsteel Colossus so you can keep more Annihilator.

Eldrazi Conscrption because no discount from Animar.

Fetilid for more efficient mana.

Balefire Dragon because Annihilator should keep the board pretty clear.

All 3 signets for mana ramp on creatures.

I'd also drop a few more high cmc creatures as well to help lower your curve.

Additions: Creature Ramp - Somberwald Sage, Shaman of Forgotten Ways, and Rishkar, Peema Renegade. Pir, Imaginative Rascal and Hardened Scales are kinda ramp here also.

I'd add Vizier of the Menagerie, it's pseudo draw and color fixing in one. Very powerful here.

Beastcaller Savant - Hastey mana dork that goes infinite like morph/eldrazi with Cloudstone Curio.

Stratus Dancer, Glen Elendra Archmage, and Heroic Intervention to protect your board.

Spellseeker to look up Glimpse of Nature, Cyclonic Rift, Heroic Intervention, etc. Doesn't need many targets when they're this good.

Haste enablers like Ogre Battledriver and Urabrask the Hidden

Hc_Clan on The Origin of Ruination (Animar, Soul of Elements)

Thanks for the feedback Last_Laugh and I always appreciate the suggestions. I have a couple questions though about your choices.

1. Why run Forge of Heroes over Opal Palace? Palace can at the worst filter colors and if Animar has died multiple times it makes recovering a lot easier since the counters are cumulative.

2. Why would I run Spellseeker in this build if it can only grab two spells?

3. Glimpse of Nature is solid but is a dead draw if we're behind or don't have any cards in hand, so I have avoided it. How has your experience been with it?

Stratus Dancer is a good one I haven't considered before, and I might throw it in over Voidmage Prodigy

Removal/Combo: Equilibrium

Draw: Glimpse of Nature and Primordial Sage

Protection: Stratus Dancer and Heroic Intervention

Ramp/Combo: Cloud of Faeries, Peregrine Drake, and Great Whale

Tutor: Spellseeker

First, Prophet of Kruphix in your maybeboard is banned.

Now for a few suggestions.

More bounce enablers like Temur Sabertooth, Equilibrium, and Tidespout Tyrant.

Cloud of Faeries - these land untap guys are all worth running. I'm even testing Stadium Vendors in my list.

Heroic Intervention, Draining Whelk, Stratus Dancer, and Glen Elendra Archmage - That's quite a boardsyate you got there... protect it.

I'd also look at replacing your spell-based ramp i.e. Cultivate with creatures like Wood Elves, Birds of Paradise, and Rishkar, Peema Renegade.
