This is a new general I am trying to make a deck for. I think Animar will be a fun general, but I need to cut 35 cards, so any suggestions would be terrific. The deck tries to use morphs and other cheap creatures to put counters on Animar, Soul of Elements, and then cast powerful threats like Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Blightsteel Colossus, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, and plenty of others as well. On to the combos:

Cloudstone Curio + two colorless creatures/morphs with cmc less than or equal to the number of Animar's counters = infinite counters on Animar

Cloudstone Curio + two colorless creatures/morphs with cmc less than or equal to the number of Animar's counters + Puphoros, God of the forge = infinite damage to all opponents

Ancestral Statue + Animar with 4 counters = infinite counters

Ancestral Statue + Animar with 4 counters + Purphoros, God of the Forge = infinite damage to all opponents

Palinchron + Phantasmal Image = infinite mana and infinite counters

Palinchron + Phantasmal Image + Purphoros = Infinite damage to all opponents

Palinchron + Animar with 5 counters = infinite mana and infinite counters

Palinchron + Animar with 5 counters + Purphoros = Infinite damage to all opponents

Primal Surge = put entire deck onto the battlefield

All above creatures can be tutored by Survival of the Fittest, Brutalizer Exarch, or Fauna Shaman, and some can be tutored by Imperial Recruiter or Fierce Empath. Also, Whispersilk Cloak can be used to give your 1,000/1,000 Animar unblockable or just shroud if you haven't pulled of the combo yet. Upvotes and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks for viewing!
