The moment I saw Animar I said to myself, "I'm gonna abuse the hell out of that guy" So here it is...=] **ACH! HANS! RUN! is a placeholder for Maelstrom Wanderer**

animar is a freaking bad-a. I was thinking up something similar to this when i saw him actually, this looks pretty sweet man

Okay, I thought Kraj alone would be bad enough with Animar, but Gilder Bairn? That's just hilarious.
It really is. I'm sometimes amazed how fast this deck can be for an EDH. Still, it's not as fun as my Seizan one.
why use inpronouncable tide when doubling season is just better? :|
Uhm... <_< You must be seeing things, I've had Doubling Season in here the whole time! >_>
a likely story. :P
Why not just run both??
I could, but then I'd have to take something else out and I just don't want to do that =P
sure i made my first xtraction based deck but no one was on to see so if you get the time can u check it out? o and scary ass deck id hate to go against it heres link: Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=202894
Thanks man. I'll add you to my mental list =]
i love the deck as for tips i would add maybe steel overseer if you want it from the sample draw there is some artifact fetchs artifact based stuff and is in the main consept of +1/+1 counters
maybe adding primordial hydra would be good?
No Kozilek or Ulamog? I'm sure you could cast them for 0 at some point....early.
Eh, I considered them, but once I get Animar on the field I don't have much time before someone kills him, so those guys tend to be a little bit too costly for consistency purposes.
....i've been waiting to see this deck for a while, and somehow i missed it!!!! anyway, this looks really cool. i likes it alot. if you could somehow do a ghave + animar deck..... now THAT would be insane. there's my next challenge for you. and maybe i'll make one aswell XD. but on a more serious note, i do beleive noble hierarch is illegal in this deck, because it has a white mana symbol in it. sorry. =( oh, and i'm very surprised you didn't put in bramblewood paragon. now THAT would be funny! and of course rage forger and sage of fables. that would just add alot more fun, and even a bit more synergy, if possible. and possibly tauren Mauler? Great Deck by the way. hope i helped!
<_< Bramblewood would (say that out loud =P) be funny...And I'm pretty sure if a source produces a color not in your general's colors, it's just colorless...but even so, that's how our group does it. I still gotta frickin look at your Ghave deck, I keep meaning to do it...and keep falling asleep =P
Yeah it is, but house rules overrule real ones I'm sure.
oh, and where in hell is tezzeret's gambit!!!????
I have to say, your deccks are always very cool. But this one is missing Cloudstone Curio. Animar loves the curio quite a bit. I'll tell you, bouncing a man-o-war off a flametongue kavu about 4 times in one turn is really fun and clears a path for your fatties. Just a thought for you.
Ok, so Cloudstone in this deck is absolutely insane...Thanks for the suggestion dude! =]
For example....Cloudstone + Ulamog + Kozilek = Tons of free draw and Vindicate spam =P
Yeah that's how I normally combo out, but with an Artisan (at least eventually) so I don't accidently draw myself out.
Boom! 50 likes :D
tidespout tyrant, equilibrium, for more bouncing, also works with artifact creatures priest of urbrask for more mana with bouncing = infinite mana, spells cast morphers make for easier "free casts" that get you up to higher bounces city of solitude to protect combos survival of fittest, or other creature tutors can just be an asshole and throw in the kiki-jiki/splinter twin, pestermite/deceiver exarch combos primordial sage for more glimpse effect aceticism to protect all your bajillion creatures I actually have been working on an animar deck, it can get reallllllll crazy.
cloud of faeries and palinchron break it real quick too ;] if you want some counters that work well with animar mystic snake and venser shaper savant work for that as well to make some control aspects
Wouldn't a card like Enshrined Memories be useful, after getting a few counters on your general, creatures are cheap to cast so you would have some excess mana, use this to fill your hand with more creatures and next turn have a whole lot more creatures to torment your opponent with.
I love that you resisted the urge to cram this deck with nothing but high cmc creatures--very balanced. Looks awesome.
It was a hard urge to resist =P But really, you need the little guys to play the bigger dudes, so it all works out in the end =]
well, i realize i forgot to suggest a few things. Mojin of seeing winds, and some form of cream of the crop + mangus of the future combo. i say some form because there are so many variations of it. magus of the future can be replaced with future sight or garruk's packleader, and cream of the crop can be replaced with sensei's divining top or mirri's guile, and sometimes even oracle of mull daya. in any case, i've dropped that combo turn four and proceded to cast 5 creatures from my library, then dropped kozilek for free. they conceded. XD
I would consider adding more colorless creatures, since you have a fairly good chance of being able to chuck them onto the table for free later in the game. Eldrazi are obviously excellent for this, but if you don't like the stigma of using them, you could always just run quality artifact creatures. Solemn Simulacrum, Duplicant, Myr Battlesphere, Myr in general, Dark/Blightsteel Colossus, Sundering Titan, etc etc etc. You have a lot of options is what I'm saying.
Nice deck. Maybe think about Trench Gorger and/or Primordial Hydra since with Animar you wouldn't be needing loads of mana and could pay or exile a lot of lands to pump these guys up. Also, I believe Kozilek and Ulamog may be illegal for EDH decks so the two above would be good (though probably not the best exactly) replacements. I know Emrakul is banned and the rules are any card like it. Dido with Jugan (Kokusho is banned). Its also possible I'm reading the rules incorrectly though. Haha.
Nope, just Emrakul, because he can go infinite, and just Kokusho, since he's totally obnoxious.
