this is my longest running deck. it can be incredibly fast and incredibly effective! the lists that seem to beat animar run mucho mass creature destruction and well-timed countermagic can really hurt (as with any deck)

the purpose of this build is to create 2-3 win cons: crank up Animar, Soul of Elements until he's huge and beat down opponents, amass an army so large no one can compete, and/or combo your way into a hilarious ending

{U}{R}{G}

Infinite mana:

Animar, Soul of Elements + Palinchron

Phantasmal Image + Palinchron

Lilysplash Mentor or Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron or Peregrine Drake

Animar, Soul of Elements + Temur Sabertooth + Palinchron or Peregrine Drake

Cloudstone Curio or Hullbreaker Horror + Peregrine Drake + Phantasmal Image

Animar, Soul of Elements + Cloudstone Curio or Hullbreaker Horror + Palinchron or Peregrine Drake + ...just about anything

Other:

Animar, Soul of Elements + Cloudstone Curio or Hullbreaker Horror + two eldrazi and/or morph creature = infinite eldrazi shenanigans

Animar, Soul of Elements + Ancestral Statue = one big ol' animar

Aluren + Cloudstone Curio or Hullbreaker Horror + any two 3cmc or less creatures = one big ol' animar and infinite etb

Aluren + any creature cmc 3 or less with a (self) bounce etb ability (like Man-o'-War) = one big ol' animar

Animar, Soul of Elements + Earthcraft + Island + any creature with a (self) bounce etb ability (like Man-o'-War) = also one big ol' animar

{U}{R}{G}

lots of etb abilities in this deck, with endless ways to have fun. definitely DOESN'T need infinite to win

please upvote, tell me what you think, and leave suggestions!
