Still Building, please play test and Comment! Steps for this deck:

1. Get Animar, Soul of Elements out asap. Mulligan if you don't have a potential source of red in your starting hand.

2. start casting morphs and low-cost creatures. Get Animar to 3 counters and cast a flood of morph creatures.

3. buy time. Hinder your opponents with counter spell morphs like Kheru Spellsnatcher and Disruptive Pitmage

4. Wincon: one-shot someone with a big animar after casting a bunch of creatures. Use cards like Crystal Spray to make animar unblockable. Careful, colorless creatures will always be able to affect animar.

5. Wincon2 (my favorite): get an infinite damage combo and an infinite animar. Fetch Cloudstone Curio with either Trophy Mage or Whir of Invention and get it onto the field. then, cast Impact Tremors or Warstorm Surge or Outpost Siege and play a morph or colorless for free with animar, then bounce with Cloudstone Curio, play bounced creature with animar, bounce another with cloudstone, etc. and each casting of a creature, players are damaged and animar goes up a +1/+1.

6. Wincon3: have a shit ton of creatures played for free with morph, and cast Overrun.

7. Wincon4: when you are about to lose, flip up Fortune Thief, and attach shield of kaldara to make it indestructible.

8. Wincon5: Pickles lock. Brine Elemental + Vesuvan Shapeshifter
