{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
