Artifact
Whenever another permanent enters the battlefield under your control, each opponent puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard.

Holy necrothread batman!
Dualcaster Mage goes infinite with Twinflame already, resulting in as many 2/2s with haste as you can think of. Altar of the Brood will just make it so that you don't even need to attack. Season of Growth will make you draw a card from the original Twinflame and scry through your entire deck as every Dualcaster Mage token being created is a creature entering the battlefield. I'm not sure what Pelt Collector is going to do, if it's a 1/1 it becomes a 2/2. None of these things actually go infinite with anything, but most can be a payoff for making infinite-adjacent creature tokens, with the original combo. Which already wins with combat damage in most cases.

I don’t think this deck needs my help at all, but I wanted to mention Altar of the Brood as a potentially fun card. Again: I’m unconvinced it’s needed, or would even be an upgrade to replace anything, but maybe worth mentioning.

Aminatou's Adventures in babysitting the Gatewatch
5 months ago
Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my deck
Sep 23
Aminatou's Adventures in babysitting the Gatewatch won a long long game. Lucky to pull out a win with many combo pieces out: The Chain Veil, Felidar Guardian, Blinky the Eldrazi (Eldrazi Displacer, which blanked two pieces of removal on my final turn). Got infinite Jace, Architect of Thought activations into Wishclaw Talisman for Altar of the Brood. Darryl's colourless Assassins creed deck kept replaying Smoke Bomb, delaying me for several turns even as I tutored thrice with The Cruelty of Gix Saga, finally went infinite when he let the fuckin Smoke Bomb die. My losers' record goes up to 6-12

Would you want to have a Altar of the Brood to mill yourself additional targets..?

-nothing- Altar of the Brood does a great job in filling up graveyards, and can also be fetched by Urza's Saga

Well, in that case there are some card suggestions!
Firstly, there is an esoteric combo involving Oblivion Ring effects that can happen. - Oblivion ring enters and it's effect goes on the stack - You bounce or temporarily exile oblivion ring - Oblivion rings leave the battlefield effect goes on the stack - The leave effect now resolves first, permanently exiling the original target when that resolves. As part of a combo you can use this exile all non-land cards of your opponents, though it will require a trigger doubler. Or you can just use it with any other instant blink for extra control.
Delney, Streetwise Lookout is another trigger doubler, though it has a limited pool of things it can target, though this may not be a problem for a lot of effects.
A lot of your combo's give you tremendous power in life and card draw, but don't lead to you immediately winning the game. Altar of the Brood can function as an alternate win condition for your combos.
Cosmic Intervention can not only set up your combo, but can also help you dodge board wipes.
Angel of Serenity is expensive, but can be devastating to your opponents boards as well as get creatures back from your graveyard.
Also, are you sure 23 Land is enough? People normally run 30-40 as it means over the first 3 turns they will on average get 3-4 land. If you feel that leaves you drawing too much land in the late game, that's what fetch land are for, as every time you use one you are removing an extra land from your deck. Also they work quite nicely with Sun Titan as he can return them and give you an extra land each turn.

Animar's Wildlife Sanctuary
1 year ago
Have you considered Grinning Ignus? Great card to rebuild Animar with if he gets removed. Could even add in Birgi, God of Storytelling Flip for free red mana. Plus, infinite combo. And using Vizier, you already would have an infinite mana combo with Grinning and Animar. Add in Urza, Lord High Artificer and now you cast your whole deck. Add in Altar of the Brood and you can just mill everyone and pass turn for wins.
In general though, Grinning Ignus should be an Animar staple. He rebuilds Animar so fas and lets himself be recast for almost free. Plus once Animar gets 2 counters, you start generating free colorless mana. Which, with Vizier, lets you start casting more things.
Also consider Ornithopter of Paradise. Same thing as Birds but it’s colorless so free casting with Animar and free counters.
