This is a fast passed cedh animar deck relying on getting animar out early and using tutors such as Shared Summons + Weird Harvest to get the combo pieces.

There are two main lines in this deck that share a common card Ancestral Statue. This first line requires that there are 3 counters on animar and one red mana open. You just need Ancestral Statue + Purphoros, God of the Forge . Casting Purphoros will bring you up to 4 counters on animar, allowing to cast statue for free. Use statues ability to bounce it back to your hand and repeat, killing the table. You can also go for Ancestral Statue + Walking Ballista . This also requires 3 counters on animar, but doesn't need any mana open. It works better with 4 counters, because all you need to do is get an arbitrarily large amount of counters on animar, cast ballista for a huge number, and kill the table with it's ability.

You can also use Cloudstone Curio and any morph or colorless non artifact card to do the same for both of these lines. It just requires a bit more set up.

There are also a few infinite mana lines, allowing you to either cast ballista for a large amount, or draw your deck with Soul of the Harvest. These lines primarily include Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake or you can use Palinchron. Palinchron can make infinite mana on its own as long as you have 5 counters on animar and 7 lands, 4 of them blue sources.

To start the game, you want your opening hand to include either mana dorks or one of the few fast mana cards, 2-3 lands, a tutor, a way to keep drawing, and a few low cost creatures. This will allow you to get animar out early and either pump animar quick and tutor, or draw into the lines using Beast Whisperer.
