Ah, finally put my boy into tappedout. Animar was my first real EDH deck and I love him dearly. I discovered him when I was still very new to magic, not really aware of how good he really is- I just loved the card in every possible way. Anywho, after lots and lots of experimentation, I've more or less settled on the structure of the deck. Creatures and lands only, for a range of reasons, of varying rationality. I'm just keeping an eye on new cards.

The only consistently annoying thing is hitting an Elvish or Simian Spirit Guide or Memnite and its ilk with cascade. For a long time I'd frequently get hosed in the first five turns by having too many colorless lands, which I've significantly cut down on. On a related note, the two things I get the most flack for are running the 2-drop colored mana myr (eg. Silver Myr) and Heartwood Storyteller, the former because they "suck", and the latter because it's the only real group hug in a rather competitive deck. People generally understand why I run them after seeing the deck play, though.

Just FYI, the one card I most strongly recommend is Scuttlemutt, as it's 25 cents, provides mana, and provides an extremely relevant ability. On a related note, I strongly wish Painter's Servant (SHM) was unbanned.
