I'm a big fan of Zendikar Resurgent , and I do put a noncresture spell in the deck, that will probably be it. It's been really extremely well as is, so I don't want to screw with it. While I love Yisan, the Wanderer Bard , I'm not sure if I want to put him in the deck or not. I have a foil copy, so I'll at least playtest him.

I'm actually really wanting to add Blind Seer to help protect animar, any suggestions?

If you want to protect Animar then Blind Seer would be good but you could also add in Glen Elendra Archmage , or if you want a budget card Frilled Mystic to counter some spells. Or is you want to get slow down an engine you gan use Venser, Shaper Savant . Each of this is a good option to protect Animar.

I already run both the archmage and venser already. I also have Draining Whelk and Mystic Snake .

If you're still looking for ways to protect Animar, Plaxmanta and Siren Stormtamer are good options. Also, if you're okay with combos, the one non-creature card you run can be Weird Harvest . You put 2 into the X and kill and Ancestral Statue and Purphoros, God of the Forge . In other words, you win with just 5 mana and 3 counters on Animar.

I just recently discovered plaxmanta for another deck and I've been considering it for this one. Siren stormtamer is neat and I will definitely playtest it. Weird harvest is a really cool card, but for now I like running no noncreature spells; the deck runs really smoothly so far, but I will keep this suggestion on the back burner. Thanks for the input!!

Very cool themed deck. i just want to point out there is only 99 cards. so you have a spot for that Ancestral Statue. =p

or something else

Ancestral stature is already in the deck. I must have screwed up doing my last update. I'll have to figure out what card I forgot to type in. Lol

I figured out what was missing. I accidentally deleted Seedborn Muse during my last edit. Not sure how I pulled that off, but I fixed it and the deck is back at 100 cards.

With only 10 creatures that cost or less, those first few counters on Animar are slow and unreliable. I would recommend more early mana creatures and you've got options.

Sakura-Tribe Elder/Wood Elves to look up lands.

Sylvan Caryatid, Utopia Tree, etc. There's a LOT of options here.

Wild Cantor is a turn 2 Animar option.

Cloud of Faeries type land reuse is great at any point in the game but especially early.

Shrieking Drake, Dream Stalker and Man-o'-War are fair(er) versions of Ancestral Statue and are worth it to either bounce themselves or other creatures to reuse their etb's.

Yeah, theres a Bunch of changes incoming for this deck. As much as I love the eldrazi, I may drop them for a more efficient build. I'm doing a lot of brainstorming right now.and will update when I decide on all the changes. Thank you for all the suggestions, I'm going to take everything into consideration.

Last_Laugh thanks again for the suggestions and providing a link to your deck. I definitely took some ideas and made a bunch of changes. Lowered the average cmc by quite a bit (from 5.23 to 4.73) and added more protection. There's still some things I think I'll change after some playtests, but just wanted to say thanks for the input.

I like all the pirates that etb and create treasure. May not be as much as dockside extortionist, but they only have one mana color symbol. So the treasure makes em esentially free with animar

I'm in love with this deck!! Great Job! (I know it can only have one noncreature spell, and you might be avoiding it, but I love Hydra's Growth with Animar, Soul of Elements)

Also, Managorger Hydra is a must have in a creature-loving deck like this, great build though!

Thank you for the suggestions. Hydra's Growth is a great card, but if I were to add a noncreature card, I'll probably ly end up going with Cloudstone Curio for the combo shenanigans. Managorger Hydra and Forgotten Ancient are on my consideration list as back up offensive weapons due to my +1/+1 counter synergy in the deck.

Have you considered Primal Surge as your non creature spell? It would summon the rest of your deck out all at once and if you have Urabrask the Hidden you would be able to swing with everything same turn.

It's been suggested to me a few times, I probably will never add it though. The biggest reason, is at 10 cmc, it would be hard to cast in this deck. I have a lower land count and a good chunk of my mana dorks only add mana to cast creature spells. I've probably only had a couple of games where I've had the mana sources to actually cast this.

This deck seems to be very powerful and a lot of fun to pilot!

It definitely is. It has its weaknesses using only creatures, but it gets out of hand very quickly and with multiple avenues to infinite mana, you can dump the whole deck in one turn pretty easily.

Oh my gods I love it! This deck looks so much fun :D

Ravenrose it is a blast to play. Glad you like it!

For a meme deck this looks pretty fun lol.

ToxicMCTV it's a blast, and extremely explosive.

Dang, this is an awesome deck!

phoenixwatch101 thanks! It's been an absolutely fun to build and play.
