Weird Harvest looks up Ancestral Statue and Walking Ballista for a more reliable route to that combo. Spellseeker can also look up Weird Harvest.

Also if you ever get Imperial Recruiter and Spellseeker in here... also add Neoform . The following is the most streamlined way to combo in Animar and only requires 2 counters on Animar: , 4 life, and Imperial Recruiter in hand. Imperial Recruiter looks up Phyrexian Metamorph . Metamorph for 2 life copies Recruiter and looks up Spellseeker . Spellseeker looks up Neoform . Neoform sacs Spellseeker to look up Ancestral Statue . Play Statue bouncing itself until Animar is double your opponents life total then use Statue's final bounce to return Phyrexian Metamorph to hand. Metamorph for 2 life again copies Imperial Recruiter to look up Walking Ballista for the win.

So, I want to add an Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger , as I have the possibility of bouncing and recasting amount of times with Cloudstone Curio and Animar, Soul of Elements , essentially exiling my opponents boards entirely. I have this effect with destroy with Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and also damage by bouncing Ancestral Statue and having Impact Tremors or Purph on the board. If I have Animar on the board, I guess I have the opportunity to put an arbitrarily large number of +1/+1 counters on them as well, and have free bouncy Eldrazi. YAY! FUN FOR EVERYONE!

Advice on what to cut would be super helpful

Ancestral Statue is a really good win con and I also recommend lab maniac.

Ancestral Statue is always my awnser to this question, its dirt cheep, 4 cmc is manageable with reducers or infinite mana, and it can target itself.

You avoiding Ancestral Statue combos on purpose? I guess either way, I'd suggest Neoform and Weird Harvest to look up your Cloudstone combos even though they're both a bit better with Ancestral Statue and Walking Ballista. You can also substitute creatures that immediately replace their mana along with your morph creatures. Consider Beastcaller Savant, Cloud of Faeries, Peregrine Drake, Great Whale, Palinchron, and/or Stadium Vendors.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas, it's Cloudstone and Ancestral combo and the list is pretty optimized. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid

The 3 main things I'm noticing are that this deck lacks card draw, your non-creature count is really high for Animar (shoot for like 18 or less non-creatures), and the avg. cmc needs to come down to about 3.3 or less. Animar will rip through your hand fast... cards that draw over and over on your turn are your bread and butter here. Beast Whisperer, Soul of the Harvest, Primordial Sage, and Glimpse of Nature are your best bets.

Also, assuming you aren't against combo, consider Cloudstone Curio bounce combos or Neoform/Weird Harvest combos to look up Ancestral Statue/Walking Ballista for the win.

Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid for reference. Upvotes are appreciated.
