My second commander deck, feedback and suggestions wanted and appreciated. Especially ideas on nasty artifact creatures that should be included, mana cost be damned.

{master biomancer} {Karn silver golem}

Also alot of mana production like {lanowar elves} {birds of paradise}. Or search like {ranger's path} then u will be able to just start laying down creatures with garruks horde. Also {genesis wave} after {boundless realms} can be quite devastating.

The basic plan is to dump a bunch of 1/1 counters on animar so I'm dropping disgusting creatures for 1,2 or 3 mana. Even dropping 6,7,8 cmc artifact creatures for literally nothing. So hopefully mana won't be a huge  problem, BUT, putting a few more cheap mana generating creatures that will help put the 1/1 counters on AND give me mana for the big drops is a good idea, gonna make a couple changes.

Hope it helps

Eldrazi. Ulamog, kozliek. Birds of paradise the small ramp package. And equips that will protect your general. It looks like you need more of a finisher

Love the deck!! :) im making an animar edh too :) do you mind if i get a few ideas from this one?

Absolutely, take as much as you want, I've only had the chance to play it once and I got pretty mana screwed at first, find solutions to getting all three color mana because you need to get animar out early to take advantage of him. But I was able to drop multiple 5,6,7 drops for 1 mana, some of them being in the same turn. But be careful, in multiplayer, you start doing that and everyone gets scared and gangs up on you, I take that as a compliment.

You get this together yet? Any good input?

{Riku of Two Reflections} is GLORIOUS with Animar.

That might ACTUALLY work....... Time to do some thinking.

Played this deck last night, played excellent until the other 4 people ganged up on me, but it worked very well.

{Intet, the Dreamer} might work as well.

He's actually pretty awesome, hadn't seen him up to this point.

If you are planning on making a good animar you need to pick up a few things. Based on your card list this is a very budgeted deck so work on replacing pointless creatures with better enter the battlefield creatures and musthaves .

The list can go on and on but basics are
Pestermite
Mulldrifter
Cloud of faries
Yavamia elder
Sakura tribe elder ( ninja turtle)
Solemn
Birds
Bloom tender
Seedborn muse
-other spells / enchantments-
Acetasim (sp)
Greater good
Alluren
Cream of the crop
Wordly tutor
Primal surge
-ramp spells
Farseek
Harrow
Kodamas reach
Rampet growth

-fatties that are spendy-
Ulamog

A friend of mine runs animar. He has nothing but permanents in the deck, no non permanent spells except  {Primal Surge} . He runs  {Fires of Yavimaya} in there just so he can hit primal surge and just grab the whole deck and put it on the battlefield and then turn it sideways and say "I win." It's a pretty sick deck. He uses {mimic vat} with {mulldrifter} {draining whelk}  {mystic snake} and others to make up for having no instants or sorcerys in the deck. It gets pretty crazy.

A well timed gather the specimens made the animar player at the table almost cry when he tried to pull this off the other day...

{Cloudstone Curio} lets you reuse a ton of insane etb effects like {Palinchron}. You can also go infinite with Curio pretty early if you have a couple morph creatures like {Vesuvan Shapeshifter}.

Bump to feel special.

You don't have enough artefacts to justify glimmervoid. Also, some of your artefact creatures are just bad. Like Darksteel Sentinel. I don't mean to sound rude but if an artefact creature isn't in my list, it probably isn't worth running. I've tested just about everything in there. Those are the best ones. Also, why no {Bond Beetle}? That thing is beastly with Animar

I'm open to ideas, what should I swap out? I never saw the connection between bond Beatle and animar. I agree, it's pretty good.

{Triskelion} should be a {Memnarch}
Darksteel sentinel should be a {Blightsteel colossus}

Ok, I can agree with that. I wanted a blightsteel, I just hadn't pulled the trigger on it because of price. I agree with memnarch completely. Hadn't really thought of adding it for some reason. Any other ideas?

Yeah I'll give you it later when I have time
