This tiny leaders deck is for the Animar, Soul of Elements Rogue Brewer Competition that is being run by Rogue Deckbuiler. The link to the competition is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEmZCwKa99g

I love morph as a MTG mechanic. I was not plaing when morph was first introduced, nor when it was brought back in Time Spiral block. Most recently, it has been the main feature of the Khans of Tarkir expansion and even has been given a new twist with Manifest in Fate Reforged.Animar is interesting in that his ability reduces not just the cost of creatures' actual casing cost, but any way in which a creature can be cast. If Animar has three or more +1/+1 counters, his controler can cast morphs face down for 0.

A whopping 36% of this deck is a morph or manifest card.Temur Charger and Branchsnap Lorian - Morphs that hit hard when turned face-up.

Broodhatch Nantuko, and Hooded Hydra, - Morphs that have the potential to give you tokens in addition to the indiviual bodies.

Disruptive Pitmage, Voidmage Apprentice, and Willbender- Counter or mess with your opponents spells when they least expect it.

Echo Tracer and Icefeather Aven - Bounce a problem creature your opponent controls, or save one of your creatures from a removal spell.

Shaper Parasite, Skirk Marauder, and Skirk Commando - Morphs that double as kill spell when turned up.

Rattleclaw Mysic - Morphing mana dork.

Zoetic Cavern - a 2/2 or a land in the late game.

Cloudform, Wildcall, and Write into Being - Fun Manifest Cards

Jeskai Infiltrator - Holy Crap! talk about a sweet and flavorful Magic card. I was hoping this would see constructed play when it was spoiled. Too bad Whisperwood Elemental took that spot.

Lets draw some cardsExplore, Ancestral Visions, Brainstorm and lead the Stampede - not much to say expect that they either ramp or refill your hand.

Domri Rade - Draws cards and sweet ultimate

Stroke of Geniun - Draws cards and acts as an alternative win condition.

RemovalElectrickery and Mizzium Mortars - spot or mass removal which cannot be redirected to your morphs.

Reality Shift - Let your opponent share in the Morph/Manifest fun while shrinking his best creature.

Other spellsSensei's Divinging Top - Set up your Manifest... or anything for that matter.

Counterspell and Prohibit - Probably the two best counter spell in the format.

Burning-tree Emissary and Tarmogoyf - cheap beaters

Bow of Nylea - Put +1/+1 counters on Animar or other creatures, deals with problem flyers, gains life against burn decks, and protection from mill decks. Yes Please. (O, and all your sweet morphs now have deathtouch when attacking.)

Other landsNot sure about the manabase but I tried to come up with a nice mixture of duals and utility. Most Animar Decks I've seen run between 12-15. i am running 17 since morph is mana intensive if Animar does have those +1/+1 counters.

Side notes:This deck came from a current Commander Surrak Dragonclaw deck I am currently building. As of right now I do not play Commander nor Tiny Leaders. I entered this competition for fun and to see how well I could do against other brewers as far as creativity. As far as competitiveness, I would be lying if I told you I think this unbeatable. I really do not know how it would stack against proven and tested decks, but hey at least it has a ton of morph XD.Thank you to Kevin at Rogue Deck Builder for the Competition. I will post this tappedout link to my Youtube Channel in the discussion section and on the Reddit page you recommended.

Edit: Whoops, it appears I had 16 lands in the original. I have added another island and removed the Warbreak Trumpeter.

Edit 2: After seeing RogueDeckbuiler's first update video I wanted to make it clear as to my accounts.
