Uses Animar, Soul of Elements to drop morph costs while beefing himself up. Since everything enters face-down, counterspells are a shot in the dark at best and removal can be dodged. On the off chance a removal targets something useful, Stratus Dancer or similar effects can shut it down. Additionally, once Voidmage Prodigy comes out all the other Wizards in the deck turn into counterspells.

Leyline of Anticipation lets you flash in any morph as needed, plus cast card draw (like Shamanic Revelation ) or recovery spells (like Praetor's Counsel) when necessary. Getting it out for free turn 1 is useful but not necessary, don't mull just to hopefully find it or keep a bad hand because of it.

Master of the Veil is a great card draw engine when combo'd with Aphetto Runecaster or Secret Plans , and becomes ridiculous if you have both. Once you Boundless Realms to remove the lands from your deck, MotV becomes the best way to find an answer to any situation.

Once you get your combo pieces assembled, you can basically go infinite until you're ready to swing for the win. Boundless Realms to get all the lands left in the deck onto the field, Praetor's Counsel to pull back anything that's died and remove hand limits, spin Master of the Veil until you find Blue Sun's Zenith, then draw most of your deck at the end of your opponent's turn. Flash in any morphs you draw, leaving mana open for 2-3 counters (Voidmage Prodigy usually), then flip them all up on your turn (hopefully fighting with Temur War Shaman and burning with Bonethorn Valesk to clear out blockers) and swing for lethal. Most games I win I use Animar to knock people out with Commander damage, taking advantage of his protection from W/B.

The main threat to this deck is early removal. If you can't reliably keep Animar out, it gets harder and harder to hit your stride. Fortunately he's immune to black and white removal, but blue bounces and red burns are scary before you have counters. Try not to make enemies early on I guess, but after playing once or twice you'll tend to get focused early and often.
