All the Cloudstone Curio combos would also be served using various morph creatures. Curio + 2 morph creatures is instant infinite counters on Animar. Nantuko Vigilante is one of my favorites but the new set has a bunch and there are a bunch of blue spell-screw morphs.

Soul's Majesty and Solemn Simulacrum would all be badass additions

Soul's majesty isn't a creature, and solemn simulacrum is already there.

Deck looks nice!I would cut Man-o'-War from the maybeboard and put it in, works really well in my own list. Another thing that i played around a little with is Forgotten Ancient , in a MPgame it can do some serious stuff if it doesnt eat removal..

+1

Forgotten Ancient seems neat, and I want to put Man-o'-War in the board, but I haven't play-tested the deck enough yet to see what cards I really just don't like being there. If you have any suggestions for removal, I wouldn't be opposed to hearing them.

I tried Earthcraft and Exploration in my own build and ended up cutting it. Earthcraft because i dont want run that many basics (and because i needed it for another deck and only have one copy) and exploration because, much like your list i have quite a low landcount. So exploration really only helped in an opening hand with at least four lands, wich means only two spells. Usually i mulligan such hands because i want to develop animar as fast as possible. Exploration is good with Crucible of Worlds adn fetchies or LD, but in your case id rather think about it again.Besides that i think that Fabricate and Mage Slayer are good but not super-necessary..Ive had good times with Surrak Dragonclaw against control and Glen Elendra Archmage as wrath protection. Also you should include Glimpse of Nature , plain broken with Palinchron .

Nearly forgot about Willbender !! As carpecanum's suggestion this serves quite a relevant purpose besides being an infinite enabler with Cloudstone Curio .. ;)

Earthcraft is plain broken, every time I have drawn it, I have won that turn or the next, Exploration has only ever come up once for me, barring drawing it when comboing out, and I loved it. Fabricate gets me Etherium-Horn Sorcerer which is amazing. There isn't enough control in my play-group for me to run surrak or glen, (I'm the only one with control decks). Willbender is neat, I had forgotten he existed when I built this deck, he is certainly something to consider putting in, since he does enable, and allows me to redirect Chaos Warp /kill effects from animar. He is certainly one I will have to consider when going over the deck, because I am still not certain of any other cards I want out of this board.

Great build, man. I want to throw out my advocation for Bloom Tender , for those games where you can't get a turn 2 Animar, Bloom Tender ensures you can untap with considerable advantage on turns 3 and 4. I'm in the process of building an Animar deck and it's been very fun so far Animar's Kitchen.

I know Bloom Tender is pretty amazing, but I'm still at the point where I'm not getting to play this deck enough to know what modifications I want to make to it. I really want to find room for Bloom Tender and Man-o'-War , they both seem like amazing cards to me, but I can't say they are strictly better than anything else I have in the deck at this point in time. Once I find more cards I'm sad to draw consistently, I will make the changes.

I have an Animar, Soul of Elements deck and your deck seems pretty good. Cards that I have that Ididn't see and that you might want to consider are: Joiner Adept , Burgeoning (If you tend to play in larger groups then this card is gross and you get more hits with it than you do with Exploration , also for a really good draw engine, Primordial Sage , and finally I would consider adding Somberwald Sage . It seems underwhelming, but that 3 mana of one color to cast a creature spell helps A LOT when you you've got several counters on Animar and you need to cast something like Tidespout Tyrant . Otherwise, I think the deck looks really good! Animar is definitely one of the funnest generals I've ever played.

I didn't know that Joiner Adept existed, that is certainly a card I can look towards finding a spot in my list.I do have a large playgroup, but I don't tend to draw a lot of lands because I run so few, so Exploration always seems to work better for me than Burgeoning.

Primordial Sage is already in my list, he is great, but I still think my favorite is Momir Vig, Simic VisionarySomberwald sage is too slow, it doesn't have natural haste and I cannot rely on getting him into play with a haste affect already there. The design decisions I have made in this deck make it prefer explosive turns with no setup, so having to spend a mana only to put a counter on animar is not ideal, it is also the reason I have been very reluctant to put bloom tender in here.

I like ur list. As an avid fan of Animar decks as a whole, I like the whole explode animar on turn 3 idea into infinites. I think it could be competitive if I wanted to go that route and might get some of the mana dorks so I can build this variant. I think you are missing some absolute gold cards that are bonkers in animar lists.

You literally have to add cloudstone curio.Fyndhorn Elves is another 1 mana elf enabler.Shrieking drake, dream stalker, man o war, grinning ignus, priest of urabrask, silverglade elemental, gilded drake, fierce empath, glen elendra archmage, phantasmal image, sphinx of uthuun.

Yavimaya Granger is also slick. Devoted druid, gyre sage, and priest of titania also work with your suite.

cloudstone curio is in there, same with fierce empath. I don't understand how gilded drake works, but I've seen it in so many lists, fyndhorn I already know, but don't know what i want to swap. I don't like the fact that I always require red for grinning ignus, I forgot priest of urabrask existed, same with silverglade elemental, I have absolutely no control in this deck, otherwise glen would be here. sphinx of uthuun is neat, yavimaya granger is cool as well, also forgot devoted druid existed, gyre sage has potential, same with priest of titania.
