wallisface, if you go to Chulane's page, you'll see Wood Elves as one of the top creatures being used for his decks, right below Dream Stalker and above Sakura-Tribe Elder. Also, you can include all the mana dorks you want + Wood Elves no problem.

Very cool deck! I would agree with jonjonhholt on the Dream Stalker suggestion. I would tinker around with replacing the Indoctrination Attendants all together for Dream Stalkers. Side board the Attendants for when you're against go-wide strategy decks or simply run Echoing Truth or Fade Away.

My brain is telling me Snap could find a home too, but I don't know what you'd replace for it. List looks good and fun to play!

Reality Acid is SUCH a fun card in pauper, i love this take on it! Dream Stalker might be a nice addition as another cheap bouncer for Reality Acid and others :)

5.13 avg. cmc is astronomically high even for Animar. Your first few counters are going to be slow and inconsistent.

I'd suggest more low drop creatures like Cloud of Faeries, Destiny Spinner, Shrieking Drake, Dream Stalker, Man-o'-War, Phantasmal Image, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Stratus Dancer, Walking Ballista, Wild Cantor, Imperial Recruiter, Glimpse of Nature, and Utopia Sprawl. I'd also suggest Neoform and Weird Harvest to help look up combo pieces.

Feel free to check out my list for inspiration. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid ⫷PRIMER⫸

I don't mean to sound overly critical, but 5.48 avg. cmc is astronomically high. As things stand, you'll have a slow time getting those first few counters on Animar to get things rolling. I would also recommend significantly lowering the amount of non-creatures you run to maximize Animar's discount.

Sakura-Tribe Elder, Wood Elves, Cloud of Faeries, Beastcaller Savant, Shrieking Drake, Man-o'-War, Dream Stalker, Bloom Tender, Birds of Paradise, Dockside Extortionist, Wild Cantor, and many many other options will help you get out your big Eldrazi much sooner.

Beast Whisperer, Soul of the Harvest, Primordial Sage, Glimpse of Nature, and Vizier of the Menagerie deserve spots for card draw also.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. It's more combo oriented but the early game plays still apply regardless of your endgame. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid ⫷PRIMER⫸

Trying to keep your budget in mind I have several suggestions. I'll try to break it down by category. My main advice is if an effect is available on a creature, use it over other versions (i.e. Stratus Dancer over Negate).

Turn 2 Animar: Birds of Paradise , Wild Cantor , and Utopia Sprawl are all options.

Ramp: Lose your artifacts and look into several options like Rattleclaw Mystic (doubles as a combo piece with bounce enablers), Cloud of Faeries , and Peregrine Drake .

Bounce Enablers: Equilibrium and Temur Sabertooth for repeatable bounce. Shrieking Drake , Dream Stalker , and Man-o'-War for single target (including self).

Feel free to check out my list for inspiration. It's not cheap overall but Animar has several good options for reasonable prices. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid

Hey, well done on a budget, but what's with the manabase?

I understand this is budget, but you can't possibly think that 36 basic lands for a three color deck is any where near competitive; deck is in the competitive hub. Where's Command Tower ? The majority of rest of the deck other than Disentomb and Raise Dead is built with a competitive mindset therefore I know you have good card sense with the budget that you have. Even on a low budget you can include playable dual lands:

• Command Tower
• Exotic Orchard
• Llanowar Wastes
• Yavimaya Coast
• Path of Ancestry
• Opulent Palace
• Sunken Hollow
• Necroblossom Snarl
• Vineglimmer Snarl
• Tainted Wood

My advice is if budget is a concern cut some expensive price cards to add some playable dual lands. Grim Tutor and Heroic Intervention are two cuts to consider since these cards can be replaced by lower price options Lazotep Plating and Profane Tutor . On a budget Fauna Shaman is not worth it since it could be replaced with a less expensive price tutor Shared Summons .

Consider a backup win condition that doesn't require that you draw your entire deck and hope that Oracle or Maniac live/resolve? Gray Merchant of Asphodel , Venser, Shaper Savant and Gonti, Lord of Luxury can be infinitely blinked or cast for three different win conditions. Peregrine Drake + Venser, Shaper Savant + Yarok, the Desecrated is another infinite mana combo.

Consider budget backups to all your main combo creatures? Backups are helpful because without them the combo is very fragile, easy for an opponent to disrupt.

• Venser, Shaper Savant and Temur Sabertooth backup Deadeye
• Dream Stalker and Man-o'-War backup Shrieking
• Peregrine Drake backup Cloud

Good luck with your deck.

Shrieking Drake + Yarok + Cloud of Faeries = Infinite mana and etb

Shrieking Drake/Dream Stalker + Yarok + Peregrine Drake = infinite mana and etb

Cloud of Faeries/Peregrine Drake + Yarok + Ghostly Flicker/Illusionist's Stratagem + Eternal Witness/Archaeomancer = Infinite mana and etb
