The main thing I'm seeing that this deck needs some work on is lowering your non-creature spells by a LOT and adding bounce enablers. Most Animar decks run less than 20 non-creatures and instead run similar effects on their creatures.

I.e. Glen Elendra Archmage, Draining Whelk and Stratus Dancer instead of most traditional counterspells.

Temur Sabertooth, Equilibrium, and Cloudstone Curio are 100% needed here. Curio is expensive but it's worth its weight in gold here.

Birds of Paradise, Wild Cantor, or many other mana dorks over Artifact and Spell ramp.

Other random suggestions: Walking Ballista is your most mana efficient finisher with Ancestral Statue. Vizier of the Menagerie is excellent draw on a damn good card. Shrieking Drake is a fairer version of Ancestral Statue. Clones like Dack's Duplicate, Stunt Double, etc. work great with land untappers like Great Whale and the others you already run.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. It's not budget friendly but there's still budget cards to pick through. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid

Sultai_Sir on Best Creatures to Copy?

6 months ago

I'm building a Riku of Two Reflections deck with a subtheme of Brudiclad madness, and I was wondering what creatures to copy, I've got a couple great ones on the list:

• Nyxbloom Ancient (Broken. Broken. Broken.)

• Biowaste Blob (Super underrated.)

• Hellrider

• Dragonlair Spider

• Faerie Artisans

• Stunt Double

I'm looking for creatures that give you exponential value, or creatures that are just better with more of them. And please, no Biovisionaries. Thanks!

Maybe add Stunt Double for even more clone?

Maybe you could add more clones? (Mirror Image, Clever Impersonator, Stunt Double, and/or Dack's Duplicate)

Nice deck btw.

Hey! I actually rebuilt that deck as Que Riku 2: The Rikuning. The plan was to retire it by taking its power level over the top and making it more of a storm deck that I wouldn't want to play as frequently. Which kind of worked, but it became its own thing that is really fun to play. I don't think my decklist here is 100% up to date, but it's close.

The fun thing with Riku is that he can be adapted to just about any metagame. I like the idea of using him as a clone deck that focuses on copying other players' threats, so it fits into any table (so lots of things like Clever Impersonator and Stunt Double). That said, it still needs its own win cons, and I think ETB win cons like Avenger of Zendikar and Purphoros, God of the Forge are very consistent with Riku.

I worry about Swarm Intelligence and similarly high-costed enchantments, because they don't do much on their own. I think it is better to pack the deck with plenty of things like Twincast, Reverberate, Narset's Reversal, Refuse / Cooperate, etc... Because these cost less, work on other players' spells, and only need to be saved for the best targets, leaving you open to make other plays in the meantime.

That said, I am pretty excited about Double Vision because it costs less and can more easily be benefited from the same turn it comes out. I haven't play tested it yet, and I think it might be a bit hard to get it to stick, but it has great potential.

At any rate, I think it is safe to shy away from Fog effects, since there are so many decks that don't try to win with combat damage.

I hope this helps. Your decklist looks great! I will keep an eye on it.

On the note of clones... Dack's Duplicate, Stunt Double, Clever Impersonator (cast as a creature so you get Animar's discount no matter what you copy), and Phantasmal Image are a viable options.
