SaberTech on Animar & friends!

3 weeks ago

Well, with the new additions it looks like you are aiming to improve the deck's speed and consistency. With that in mind, potential cuts that I could suggest are:

  • Palinchron: I used to run this but cut it after Ancestral Statue was printed. Even with a full discount from Animar, Palinchron still needs a lot of lands on the board to net you infinite mana without help. The deck should be able to win before you get that many lands out in a lot of instances. Peregrine Drake is much more mana efficient and can combo with other creatures for infinite mana. You also already have a number of different ways to rack up infinite counters on Animar so Palinchron is more of a liability since it can clog your opening hands.

  • Outcaster Trailblazer: This is what I would swap out for the Dour Port-Mage. Your deck doesn't really run many creatures with a power of 4 or higher to trigger this. If you take out Palinchron then the Trailblazer is mostly there for working with Ancestral Statue. The Port-Mage works with Statue just as well, is cheaper to cast, and can be triggered with a wider variety of creatures and effects in the deck on top of being able to trigger its own draw effect with its other ability.

  • Aluren: You already have a bunch of more efficient combo lines in the deck. You can't tutor for Aluren and Animar can't discount it. It also opens up potential plays for your opponents that they can use against you. You have so many more efficient combo lines that I'm pretty confident that you can cut this and not miss it, even if it might enable combo lines with the Port-Mage and cards like Shrieking Drake.

  • Prime Speaker Vannifar: I know that I run Birthing Pod so this might be a bit of a hypocritical suggestion, but the big difference in my mind in that Birthing Pod doesn't have summoning sickness. I think that having to spend the mana to cast Vannifar and then wait until your next turn to use her ability is a bit too slow for what Animar aims to do.

  • Kami of Whispered Hopes: This is basically just in the deck for Animar since you don't have ways of throwing around +1/+1 counters. Effects like this aren't even really necessary for Animar because you only need two counters on it to enable most of your combo line setups. 3 mana for a mana dork that makes you wait to produce mana with it is also too slow in my opinions.

  • Hardened Scales: This is cheaper than Kami of Whispered Hopes but I think the same reasoning applies. Animar just doesn't need the effect that badly. I think that it would be better off as a 1 CMC mana dork that helps you either cast Animar on turn 2 or triggers Animar to get a counter later in the game. Having this card slot be a creature also means that you have one more card in the deck that can trigger cards like Beast Whisperer.

AstroAA: while Aluren is a good idea the deck is already capable of doing so without it due to Lotus Cobra and Tireless Provisioner. Will also be adding Nissa, Resurgent Animist when I get one to make the combo that much more accessible. Aluren can also bite me in the ass just as easily given opponents can combo off with it as well. I do run aluren in my Chulane deck however for virtually the same reason you suggested it. Instead of playing all my lands I draw my deck lol.

Oct 25 Tazri won, Turn 6 got Hoarding Broodlord with Acererak the Archlich in hand and a stolen Priest of Titania via Starfall Invocation allowed me to cast Aluren from exile.

I love Enduring Renewal for the absolute shenanigans you can do with sac outlets.

When paired with something like Aluren and a sac outlet like Phyrexian Altar, you can loop any creature with CMC three or less infinitely and gain infinite mana and infinite ETB effects of said creature. In addition if you have something like Dauntless Escort you can sac them and then get them back and play them again.

There is a TON you can do with Enduring Renewal. I just think it's neat.

Personally I'm a massive fan of anything involving the card Aluren. In addition, Enduring Renewal is a pretty funny card to use with sac outlets like Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar. Pair all the cards together with a creature less than three CMC you can get infinite mana, ETBs, death triggers, etc.

It's funny to me that they gave us energy-themed takes on Recurring Nightmare and Aluren but then they seemed like they were worried that players wouldn't be able to figure out combos to break those cards so we have Guide of Souls (Gain 1 life and 1 E when a creature ETBs) and Metastatic Evangel (proliferate when a creature ETBs) just to make sure you can do some nonsense... With Aluren and Nightmare.

Also, Aluren and Realmwalker could be fun if you want break the game.

I would recommend adding Aluren so you can get an infinite number of casts off on cards that bounce themselves, like Whitemane Lion or Kor Skyfisher, then getting out every plains/forest in your deck in one turn.
