I've wanted to make an Animar, Soul of Elements deck since I started getting into EDH and I finally found an opportunity with Khans of Tarkir. This first build is going to be a little more aggro than some future builds, but I hope to find a good equilibrium between aggro & combo.

The game plan is fairly straightforward; 1) Summon Animar, Soul of Elements , 2) Protect Animar, Soul of Elements while casting creatures for reduced mana, 3) Summon fatties, 4) ???, 5) Win!

Combos

Animar, Soul of Elements + Cloudstone Curio + any two colorless creatures (Artifact Creatures, Eldrazi, Morphs).

Animar, Soul of Elements + Renegade Krasis

Deadeye Navigator + Fierce Empath

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake

Deadeye Navigator + Progenitor Mimic

Deadeye Navigator + Prime Speaker Zegana + Psychosis Crawler
