This actually evolved out of me wanting to run a Red Green Goblin Elf deck, but I saw Animar and thought he would be fun to play. It's developed into more of a pretty straight forward combo deck. Just getting out as many creatures as fast as possible to combo off and blow stuff up with Eldrazi. I do run gooney cards like Thought Harvester That you won't see in most other decks.

The Combos

When Animar, Soul of Elements has 4 counters on him you can cast Ancestral Statue for free, then targeting himself with his bounce Etb return him to your hand giving Animar infinite counters.

With Earthcraft on the battlefield many creatures are able to go infinite with Animar but Shrieking Drake elicits infinite etbs by itself with an island out.

When Animar, Soul of Elements has 3 counters on him and Cloudstone Curio is on the battlefield you can cast any colorless (morph) for free and then cast another colorless creature to return it with Cloudstone's effect, thus giving you another loop for Animar to get infinitely large with.

The win-cons with this are Purphoros, God of the Forge Thought Harvester or Walking Ballista
