This deck focuses on big Eldrazi creatures brought out early with the help of Animar, Soul of Elements. The low cost creatures are mostly mana dorks to further ramp up. I tried to put in as many colorless creatures as possible to be independent of many sources.

Game Plan

This is an aggro list, trying to get big creatures out as early as possible using Animar, Soul of Elements ability to cheat on mana costs.

Generally speaking we want Animar, Soul of Elements to hit the battlefield as soon as possible, though that'll probably only ever be turn 3 due to restrictive mana cost.

When Animar, Soul of Elements is out, start playing creatures to get +1/+1 counters on him.

There are various engines that let us draw for casting creature spells or creatures entering the battlefield under our control. Use these effects to storm into more and more creatures until we have a critical mass or run into a combo and win from there.

Combos

Weird Harvest/Shared Summons into Walking Ballista and Ancestral Statue

1. Have Animar, Soul of Elements out (preferably with 4 +1/+1 counters).
2. Play Ancestral Statue, bouncing itself in order to generate infinite +1/+1 counters on Animar, Soul of Elements.
3. Play Walking Ballista for ⟶ .
4. Machine gun every one down.

Cloudstone Curio Loops

1. Have Cloudstone Curio on the battlefield.
2. Have Animar, Soul of Elements out with enough counters (or mana open to get to that point) to play colorless creature spells for .
3. Have at least two (free to cast) nonartifact creatures in hand or on the battlefield that you want to loop, one of which needs to have a ETB or cast trigger (e.g. Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Dockside Extortionist).
4. Play one of the creatures mentioned in 3., triggering Cloudstone Curio, returning a creature that you want to loop.
5. Repeat 4. until you have your desired state.

Temur Sabertooth Loops

1. Have Temur Sabertooth on the battlefield.
2. Play Dockside Extortionist. It has to generate at least 5 treasure for this to work (4 if Animar, Soul of Elements is on the battlefield)
3. Bounce Dockside Extortionist for
4. Repeat steps 2. and 3. to make infinite mana
5. Play any creature you want to loop
6. Bounce the creature to your hand for
7. Repeat 5. and 6. until you have your desired state

Engines

We plan on playing many creature spells, so benefiting off of that is a great idea.

• Beast Whisperer
• Elemental Bond
• Guardian Project
• Primordial Sage
• Soul of the Harvest
• Temur Ascendancy
• The Great Henge
• Zendikar Resurgent

In addition to drawing cards there are a few choices that let us cast creatures from the top of our library, effectively drawing cards.

• Augur of Autumn
• Vizier of the Menagerie

Protection

There is very little protection built into this deck, though there are some options to protect our creature spells:

• Rhythm of the Wild
• Allosaurus Shepherd
• Destiny Spinner
• Prowling Serpopard
