So this is my rendition of Animar, Soul of Elements, it's fairly straightforward and extremely explosive. Due to a lot of redundancy and multiple combos it is able to come back from even the most dire situations. The land base needs a little help but I think the rest of the 99 are about as good as it gets but I could wrong so feel free to offer up suggestions. :)

Now, a breakdown of some of the combos and synergies.

Win-Cons:

1) Animar + Ancestral Statue swing for lethal, toss in Purphoros, God of the Forge or Walking Ballista and you wipe table. Purphoros works with Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake or Palinchron and Ballista works so long as you can get infinite counters on Animar which is simple when you get Cloudstone Curio on the field with and number of eldrazi in hand.

2) Shaman of Forgotten Ways formidable can wipe table and if not you should be able to mop up with creatures.

3) Mill your opponents out with Cloudstone Curio + Oblivion Sower

4) Laboratory Maniac, just mill yourself with Cloudstone Curio + Elvish Visionary or Ancestral Statue + Soul of the Harvest

Infinite Mana:

1) Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron or Perigrine Drake (after you go infinite use Coiling Oracle + Deadeye Navigator to playout your deck).

2) Cloud of Faeries + any 2 drop in deck + Cloudstone Curio

Some Key Cards:

1) Vizier of the Menagerie is just a great card that not only fixes your mana when casting creatures but allows you to play from your deck and essentially dig for answers.

2) Aluren is a f+$&ing all-star in this deck, enabling an infinite amount of shenanigans when curio is on the field, not to mention the sheer value you get when trying to pump Animar early game.

3) Combat Celebrant is amazing with Aluren and Curio on field as you can create a chain of infinite combat steps as long as you have haste enablers i.e. Maelstrom Wanderer or Temur Ascendancy.

4) Glen Elandra Archmage cause you don't run not creature spells and you don't want any pesky interaction.

Honestly, there's just too much to list but this should give you a taste of what you can do. Now, keep in mind that you're gonna get alot of hate but fortunately you can get through most of it.
