Revised version of my Temur Eldrazi Deck.

A quick rundown of the deck..

1. Ramp.

This deck is designed to start fast, draw or tutor into our haymakers, and play them for cheap (or FREE) using Animar, Soul of Elements. This deck has an unusually high mana curve, but I can assure you that that is no problem with this build, with the pure amounts of ramp and our commander's abilities, we have no worries. While some may consider this deck to be running too much ramp and not enough focus on other important aspects of the deck (such as counter spells), the ramp is there in case the commander is removed repeatedly, which is a problem I've seen other Animar decks have.

2. Win.

There are a few infinite combo combinations in this deck. The first and most lean is Ancestral Statue which easily goes infinite with Animar and a small handful of mana. Next combo revolves around Cloudstone Curio and our lovely colorless Eldrazi creatures. Using Animar as a means to make them free, many of the Eldrazi included in this deck have explosive, broken cast triggers that allow us to win:

-Infinite counters on Animar, if he has trample (Nylea, God of the Hunt) almost certain victory against one player.

-Purphoros, God of the Forge burn opponents to death.

-Oblivion Sower mill opponents to death/steal all of their lands.

-Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger/Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre exile/destroy all opponents' permanents.

-Soul of the Harvest/Beast Whisperer/Kozilek, Butcher of Truth allow for me to draw until I reach one of the other win conditions.

This deck does not need this combo to win. However, in more competitive metas, it is the recommended route, With tidesprout tyrant-bounce and/or battlecruiser beatdown as a backup win condition.

As always, comments, suggestions and +1's are always appreciated!
