Oh snap you're right I'll have to find a substitute. Thanks for letting me know!

Just a heads up, you have this tagged as B/R/G not U/R/G

Hardened Scales is very powerful with Animar, as are any number of creatures with ETB's and Flash. Plaxmanta and Mizzium Meddler are two of my favorite surprises.
Hull Breach might be more useful than Destructive Revelry
Scuttlemutt can come out for free, tap for mana and change some poor schmuck to black or white so Animar's Protection comes into play.

carpecanum thanks for the suggestions! Scuttlemutt is new to me and I will have to look into getting my hands on one.

My dude, you have Cloudstone Curio, but not Tidespout Tyrant? The latter is far, far better for the deck (though obviously you should have both if you want to combo); Tyrant works with Ancestral Statue, which Curio does not, and can also target opponents' permanents. I've won games before with Ancestral Statue, Tidespout Tyrant and Animar, Soul of Elements alone just by bouncing all of my opponents' permanents (which, notably, includes land) to hands and forcing concessions.
Your Impact Tremors should be Purphoros, God of the Forge instead, which I note is in the Maybeboard. Two reasons; for one, Purph deals more damage, and two he's a creature spell so you get another counter on Animar. As a general rule, when you can get an effect with a body versus on an enchantment/artefact, take the creature. It works so much better with your commander. Look at Fabricate. I assume it's there to find the Curio and go off? In which case Trophy Mage does one better, usually being Fabricate for just while also putting an extra counter on Animar.
Your land count is distressingly low, TBH, for a deck with so many CMC 4+ cards. How often do you find yourself mana screwed in the early game?
I run a dedicated Animar combo deck which you can find here if you're so inclined. It's deliberately hampered by running no non-permanent spells, just to give opponents a chance, but it's still brutally fast and very efficient.

MrTomDawson thanks for the input! I've never seen tidespout and will have to look for one and the trophy mage is a must have for the combo kick start. I know I need Purphoros I just haven't gotten my hands on one...yet.

Also, after re-reading the post I'm sorry for not answering the mana question. I rarely have a problem with mana with all the dorks, rocks, and ramp spells abilities. I tend to play Animar early and reap the benefits of his abilities quickly.

I would definitely recommend Sylvan Safekeeper and Spellskite here. I'd also suggest Bond Beetle over Scute Mob. I've been running a highly-tuned version for about 2 years now you can find here: Competitive pseudo-Imperial Animar

Just pointing out 2 of the best combo lines in Animar. The best isn't cheap but something to work towards over time.
Combo #1: Needs Imperial Recruiter in hand, 2 counters on Animar, 4 life, and only .
Imperial Recruiter looks up Phyrexian Metamorph . Metamorph for 2 life copies Recruiter to look up Spellseeker . Spellseeker looks up Neoform . Neoform sacs Spellseeker to look up Ancestral Statue . Statue self bounce until Animar is double your opponents life total then use it'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.
Combo #2: This combos requirements change depending on which card you start with. Imperial Recruiter finds Spellseeker . Spellseeker finds Weird Harvest . Weird Harvest for 2 looks up Ancestral Statue and Walking Ballista.
Land untap etb's are worth their weight in gold here. Cloud of Faeries and Peregrine Drake are reasonably priced... Great Whale and Palinchron not so much. Stadium Vendors also falls into this category and can net infinite mana in Cloudstone loops.
Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid

Lurking Informant is technically a

card so it's illegal to run it in this deck
