Animar is a commander that doesn't need a huge introduction. As a commander that received most of its notoriety from the partial Paris Milligan rule days where that type of thing could be heavily abused into busted opening hands, the general threat assessment on animar hasn't really waned much. Most players will become a little cautious with the Temur elemental appearing on a table, and the reason being that he's still quite the powerhouse. As a deck thats angled towards the competive side, Josh's list has some of the expected animar suite of tools plus a whole bunch of his personal spice to taste, with the goal of getting the bouncing engine online early game, and exploding for the win.
The engine is certainly disruptable, but it's the blistering speed that usually gets the games across the line and usually leaves the rest of the table shaking their heads - it's definitely got Josh's stamp all over it!

Josh is also making minor changes and tweaks to this list, especially as new relevant pieces are printed. You can find the volatile decklist here: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/animar-combo-deck-1/?cat=custom&sort=

As always we'd love to hear from you, especially if you're running an animar list of your own (or like Sam hates seeing it on the other side of the table), please don't be a stranger and drop us a message at [email protected], or find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passthemagicjam/.
