The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Animar has a very cool ability, making all your other creatures cheaper to cast. Since he only reduces generic mana in the costs you might want to pick other creatures in your deck that only cost 1 colored mana and the rest generic mana. The higher the converted mana costs of these creatures the bigger the discount Animar will give (eventually). So he will unlock a lot of creatures which would otherwise be very hard to play due to their converted mana costs.An Animar deck is creature based and there for you'll have to look to cool spells that have been implemented on creatures as well, for example Naturalize and Indrik Stomhowler. These spells do the same, only the Stomphowler is also a creature of 4/4 and Animar can reduce his cost to 1 Green mana instead.To be able to use these enter the battlefield effects (or sometimes "leave the battlefield" effects, but not the "dies" effect) to their maximum potential, you want to be able to re-cast these creatures as often as possible. This does not only give you the benefit of re-casting the creatures, but also boosts Animar, which reduces your other creatures even more. Cards that unlock this kind of re-use are for example: Equilibrium, Crystal Shard and Cloudstone Curio.Yes, you'll be vulnerable to mass-creature removal, so I'd advice to play at least Elixir of Immortality and a couple of creatures that can bring back your creatures from your graveyard, for example: Eternal Witness and Deadwood TreefolkMany decks benefit from the drawing of additional cards. With a creature deck like this, it is no exception. So therefor I suggest using creatures that will either trigger from other creatures entering the battlefield, e.g. Primordial Sage, Garruk's Packleader and Soul of the Harvest. This way you'll be able to keep on casting very big creatures for next to nothing.I'd also advice Asceticism, which will give all your creatures hexproof and you'll be able to regenerate them. Making it very unattractive for your opponents to use cards like Murder on your creatures.Finally, I'd like to suggest to take a look at my Animar deck for ideas.
