New update of my old Animar.

Imperial recruiter lines Show

Every line begins with Animar with two +1/+1 counters and it is dependant on boardstate, hand and cards still in the deck

Line 1 (Mainly useful in 1v1)

• Play Imperial Recruiter (R) finding Phyrexian Metamorph
• Play Metamorph (R + 2 life) copying Recruiter, searching for Shrieking Drake
• Play Shrieking Drake (RU + 2 life) bouncing Phyrexian Metamorph back to hand.
• From here start replaying Phyrexian Metamorph copying Shrieking Drake until you reach at least 20 +1/+1 counters on Animar (RU + 34 life).
• You should now be able to take off at least 1 person, but you can play Metamorph again (RU + 36 life) copying Recruiter again, searching for whatever wincons you like.

Line 2

• Play Imperial Recruiter (R) finding Phyrexian Metamorph
• Play Metamorph (R + 2 life) copying Recruiter, searching for Fierce Empath
• Play Fierce Empath (RG + 2 life), go find Deadeye Navigator.
• Play Navigator (RGUU + 2 life), pair him with Phyrexian Metamorph.
• Flicker Metamorph with Deadeye (RGUUU1 + 2 life), he enters as a copy of Imperial Recruiter. Do not Soulbond with Deadeye, and tutor up Peregrine Drake.
• Play Peregrine Drake (RGUUUU1 + 2 life), Soulbond with Deadeye Navigator, and untap 5 lands.
• You can now spend 2 mana to flick Drake and gain 5, generating infinite mana. Then, you flick Deadeye, and pair him with Metamorph. This gives you infinite mana and every creature in your deck with either power 2 or less, or CMC 6 or greater, as well as unlimited ETB triggers from said creatures. A win from there should be academic.

Line 3

• Play Imperial Recruiter (R) finding Kiki Jiki, Mirror Breaker.
• Play Kiki Jiki, Mirror Breaker (RRRR), then tap him copying Imperial Recruiter, finding Deceiver Exarch
• Play Deceiver Exarch (RRRRU) untapping Kiki Jiki, Mirror Breaker, then make infinite hasty copies of it with Kiki Jiki and proceed to win.
