Major update!

The deck has been running well when I draw the right cards, but stalls out or is clunky when I don't draw good cards. I think the best starting point to smooth the deck out is by reducing the amount of counterspells to open up room for smoother mana (in the form of mana rocks), spells that asymmetrically counteract something but benefit me, and some stronger walls that - although will cost more - will have better payoffs. That all being said, here's the ins/outs.

Out: An Offer You Can't Refuse... Wall of Vines... Stoneskin... Wall of Resistance... Treefolk Umbra... Mana Leak... Bane's Contingency... Wall of Stolen Identity... Vedalken Orrery... Wall of Ice... Render Silent

In: Heroic Intervention... Fog Bank... Snake Umbra... Wingmantle Chaplain... Brave the Sands... Talisman of Curiosity... Talisman of Unity... Talisman of Progress... Wall of Nets... Eerie Interlude... Champion's Helm

A lot of card swaps which we'll test out. Some may get reversed back in. That's the fun of developing a deck over time!

Ill stick to just the mana base for now. Far too many of your lands enter the battlefield tapped. This will make your deck extremely slow, even against pre-constructed decks. I suggest that you swap in some basic lands, and cut ETB tapped lands like Tranquil Cove. You can make up for the lack of color fixing with the "talisma" mana rock cycle.

Talisman of Curiosity, Talisman of Progress, and Talisman of Unity. I think they're better in your deck than the signets. Also, if you need color fixing after diluting your lands, you can try a few effects. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove is a favorite, and so is Chromatic Lantern.

Also I'm not a fan of Frilled Mystic in this deck, wayyy too color intensive even with fixing effects.

Further, the single Walk the Aeons is the only piece of that combo in your deck. I suggest adding some more extra turns spells so the combo can resolve through graveyard hate, countermagic, or just bad luck. Additionally, some instant/sorcery tutors would be good. Solve the Equation is a good budget option, but Mystical Tutor is an even better tutor.

I also suggest asking your play group if they would be OK with proxying cards so you can get a feel for the format. Get a high quality printer (like at a library) and find a site that lets you print proxies. I like deckstats. net.

Without info on a budget it is a bit hard to suggest upgrades. However; as said before you need to lower your mana curve and focus the deck on either landfall or beaters. I would also cut 6 of the lands to go down to 38 and add in much more ramp. Cutting:

6 lands

Terastodon

Elder Deep-Fiend

Verdant Sun's Avatar

Meteor Golem

Sphinx of Uthuun

Scourge of Fleets

Tromokratis

would give you 13 free spots. If you filled those spots with 1 and 2 CMC ramp and cheap removal your games would go much smoother. Personally I'd go with 8 ramp and 5 removal, and here is where what your budget is will matter for choices.

Ramp

Birds of Paradise

Elvish Visionary

Exploration

Fyndhorn Elves

Llanowar Elves

Burgeoning

Wild Growth

Arcane Signet

Devoted Druid

Lotus Cobra

Talisman of Curiosity

Removal

Beast Within

Pongify

Cyclonic Rift

Rapid Hybridization

Negate

Disperse

Brazen Borrower

Boomerang

Divide by Zero

Earle swears by Toski, Bearer of Secrets.

Dakota, if this is an Animar test I am going to ace it. Remember that the best Animar lists are like creature based spellslinger decks. The closer your list gets to 50 creatures the better. I was at 48-49.

I know you are tired of Craterhoof Behemoth but you did include Finale of Devastation. The best decks focus their strategy and wincons. That may not be what you want. The deck certainly looks fun to play.

  1. Should you want to focus the deck more I would include cards that would lead to a turn two Animar. Chrome Mox, Mox Diamond, Wild Growth, and Carpet of Flowers are some that come to mind.

  2. You need Animar on board for three turns I would think. The turn you cast him. The second turn where you cast lower mana creatures to pump up his counters. And then turn three where you play your big threats. How are you going to protect him from spot removal? Better yet, what is your strategy for combating board wipes?

Kodama's Reach? Bloom Tender is the replacement-not even a close call.

Nature's Lore? I would play a mana dork like Llanowar Elves.

Dito for Arcane Signet, Chromatic Lantern, Ketria Crystal, Sol Ring, Talisman of Creativity and Talisman of Curiosity. Cut all this for Sylvan Safekeeper, Spellskite, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves and some more ways to stop board wipes like Swan Song. I ran Force of Negation and Force of Will in my Animar list but you don't have the blue to support those cards.

Even with the big mana creatures you are playing would Purphoros, God of the Forge not be considered?

Hardened Scales was printed by some Animar lover at Wizard's of the Coast. It should be in here.

A creature based deck without one of the allstar blue creatures, Consecrated Sphinx?

I play Mystic Remora in every deck that has blue. But, that is me and it isn't an auto include in casual.

Crop Rotation is a definite should you play Gaea's Cradle.

Looks like a fun deck!

Being boardwiped constantly can be tricky to get around, but I would recommend some defensive spells like Heroic Intervention, Archetype of Endurance, or even something like Soul of New Phyrexia.

Some similar spells I'd also like to mention are Autumn's Veil and Veil of Summer.

I would also recommend majorly overhauling your lands to eliminate a lot of the "enters tapped" hurdles, and maybe consider adding in a couple mana rocks like Simic Signet, Talisman of Curiosity, or Arcane Signet.

I would suggest Three Visits, in s green deck it's definitely better then Talisman of Curiosity.

Good job building this deck on a budget. I do however feel like this needs more ramp with a 6 drop commander. Simic Signet, Dimir Signet, Golgari Signet, Arcane Signet, Talisman of Curiosity, Talisman of Dominance, and Talisman of Resilience, and Sol Ring all deserve a spot. You still keep this thing budget but will significantly help speed the deck up.
