Animar, Soul of Elements

3/25/2019

Some new cards have been added since the last entry. Cards like Vizier of the Menagerie just make this deck go faster. I added in Defense of the Heart simply because I use this deck a little bit more often in multiplayer now so I figured why not. Also got my hands on the reprint of Imperial Recruiter and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth .

6/21/2017

Have done some playtesting and I think 34 lands is just a bit short in this deck. In 5 matches I went down to 5 cards three times due to the lack of land. I think 36 lands is probably more appropriate, so I will need to figure out what to cut, but I think Yavimaya Elder is definitely an option as I really don't like low CMC cards that require 2 color mana. Its effect only works going into the yard and it costs an additional 2 colorless to activate its ability. I'm also tempted on removing one of the dorks for Sylvan Ranger and/or Solemn Simulacrum as right now I don't believe I have enough ETB land search.

I know there are important lands missing, but unless someone wants to fork out $300+ for a Volcanic Island or a Gaea's Cradle for me this is what I got.

C-C-C-COMBO'S:

Infinite Counters on Animar

• Animar, Soul of Elements + Aluren + AEther Adept / Dream Stalker / Man-o'-War / Shrieking Drake = Infinte Counters on Animar - Aluren can bring commander in for free from command zone the first time (pay command tax afterwards if necessary), then play any of the ETB bounce creatures bouncing themselves back to your hand for infinite counters. With the right hand you can do this turn 3 or 4
• Animar, Soul of Elements + Earthcraft + Dream Stalker / Man-o'-War / Shrieking Drake + Island= Infinite Counters on Animar - Cast Animar. Then cast ETB bounce creature targeting itself. While on the stack, use earthcraft to tap creature untapping basic land. Return creature back to hand and rinse and repeat for Infinite Counters. With the right hand you can do this turn 3 or 4
• Animar, Soul of Elements + Ancestral Statue = Infinte Counters on Animar - If you can get Animar to 4 Counters, you reduce the casting cost of Ancestral Statue to Zero Mana. Cast it targeting its ETB on itself, so rinse and repeat. Infinite bounce gets you infinite counters.

• Purphoros, God of the Forge + Aluren + AEther Adept / Dream Stalker / Man-o'-War / Shrieking Drake = Infinite damage from Purphoros - Cast Purphoros and Aluren.
