I play Animar and am holding my own but Narset is a huge pain in my play group. anything you guys could recommend since that hexproof is preventing me from slaughtering her.

Instead of building against a certain deck, it's always better to build against your weaknesses. Other than not being able to handle hexproof (which indicates you might need some anti-hexproof tech in your deck or non targeting removal), what other problems are you running into against narset?

Just that, if I can kill her I win 95% of the time. The Narset and I are the ones who always seem to win, oloro is not an issue and neither is the The Mimeoplasm. There are others but they don't really compete much.

Plenty of options:

Glaring Spotlight, Arcane Lighthouse, Archetype of Endurance, Bonds of Mortality, and so on. Lighthouse is probably the best of them, but I've got a soft spot for Spotlight, if only because of some good memories back in standard.

No problem, dude! Also, and this is fairly obvious, but still, sweepers (particularly red in Animar colors) are going to be your good friends against her as well. Even low damage ones like Pyroclasm or Anger of the Gods will kill her pretty easily (assuming she hasn't pumped herself with enchantments or what have you).

All of those suggestions are nice, but the absolute best way to deal with Narset is politics. Just get everybody onboard with killing Narset.

I have dealt with Narset a few times. Animar has access to things like Time Stop, Ricochet Trap... they're a little silly, but it depends how Narset is playing.

I agree with the others in general, should just try to compensate better in general. Not worry about Narset specifically, but the kind of strategy she's using.

Red Elemental Blast may be useful. Not something they are likely to see coming.

Council's Judgment best removal in white ever, not instant speed but hits anything in the game, even Progenitus
