Couldn't keep up with the deck list changes needed for the cEDH meta. Adjusted the list a bit and dropped it down to a high-power casual level.

Combos

Get Animar up to 4 counters, at which point you can cast Ancestral Statue for free as many times as you want to put enough counters on Animar to cast a lethal Walking Ballista. If Animar has 2 counters on it, a potential winning line of play is: Cast Imperial Recruiter and tutor for Transit Mage (+1 counter on Animar). Cast Transit Mage and tutor for Phyrexian Metamorph (+1 counter on Animar) -> Pay 2 life to cast the Metamorph copying the Transit Mage and tutor for Ancestral Statue (+1 counter) -> Keep casting and bouncing the Statue back to your hand to rack up as many counters onto Animar as you need (a total of at least 242 in most cases) and then end with bouncing Phyrexian Metamorph back to your hand -> Pay 2 Life to cast the Metamorph copying the Recruiter and then tutor for the Ballista -> Cast the Ballista where X = 121 (free to cast because of Animar) and then gun down all of your opponents. Total cost of the line of play is RU + 4 life.

Another potential line when Animar is at 2 counters is to cast Imperial Recruiter and tutor for Phyrexian Metamorph (+1 counter on Animar) -> Pay 2 life to cast the Metamorph copying the Recruiter and tutor for Spellseeker (+1 counter) -> Cast Spellseeker and tutor for Neoform (+1 counter) -> Cast Neoform sacrificing the Spellseeker and fetch out Ancestral Statue, which bounces itself back to your hand -> Cast the Statue as many times as you need to get at least 242 counters on Animar -> Cast the Statue again, but bounce back the Metamorph this time -> Pay 2 Life to cast the Metamorph copying the Recruiter and then tutor for the Ballista -> Cast the Ballista where X = 121 (free to cast because of Animar) and then kill all of your opponents. Total cost of the line of play is RUUG + 4 life.

If you only have Transit Mage to start with: Cast Transit Mage -> tutor for Phyrexian Metamorph -> Metamorph copies Transit Mage and Tutors for Ancestral Statue -> Cast and bounce the Statue a bunch of times to get Animar's counter count to over twice your opponents' combined life total -> Cast Statue and bounce Metamorph -> Cast Metamorph copying the Mage to tutor Shield-Wall Sentinel -> Cast the Sentinel to tutor Drift of Phantasms -> Transmute Drift of Phantasms to tutor Imperial Recruiter -> Cast the Recruiter to tutor up Walking Ballista to win the game. Total cost of the line of play is UUUR1 + 4 life.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Minamo, School at Water's Edge + Cloud of Faeries/Peregrine Drake is a combo independent from Animar that can produce infinite creature tokens with haste as long as you have another blue producing land. With 3 or more land the Drake can also produce infinite mana while the Faeries would require a land to be enchanted with Wild Growth or Utopia Sprawl.

Hullbreaker Horror offers a second potential combo independent of Animar. You can use it to keep bouncing mana-positive mana rocks to rack up infinite colourless mana and then keep recasting Ancestral Statue to bounce all your opponents' non-land permanents to their hands, continuously bounce and recast Oblivion Sower to mill out opponents, or cast Walking Ballista with enough counters to kill everyone.
