This Animar, Soul of Elements deck has a lot of land destruction creatures, clone creatures (to clone land destruction creatures) and bounce effects (to recast land destruction creatures). Progenitor Mimic + almost any land destruct creature is awesome. The same applies to creature tokens from Riku of Two Reflections and the Strionic Resonator. Avalanche Riders + any creature bouncing card is funny...destroy a land every turn for 1 red mana. Knocking out lands makes Cyclonic Rift much meaner. If you have the Dwarven Blastminers in your opening hand you can shut down some decks completely.

Trying to work in more bouncing effects or multi-cast on creatures made cheap with Animar. The Rishadan Footpad and Rishadan Cutpurse can be annoying at times but they really kick in hard if you get them off after lands are destroyed or if the Cloudstone Curio lets you cast them 3 times in a turn.
