earthcraft seems like it would be good with him if you used tidespout tyrant or cloudstone curio with any creature with one colored mana cost or two if you have a mana flare effect out for infinite come into play abilities
I opened one last year, got two crap worldwake packs and 8x scathe zombies, which I promptly hid around my sister's apartment for her roommates to find. But, yeah, it was a piece of crap.
You, sir, have just won the internet. Congratulations.

I know how you feel. today I was playing a game and i suddenly realized i could keep playing and bouceing my creatures to trigger wild pair over and over and eventually i searched for every creature in my deck and an Urabrask without tapping a land.
Out of curosity, how does Animar's ability interact with Evoke, Morph, and Suspend creatures? Does he reduce the alternate casting costs?
For instance, if I have Animar with eight +1/+1 counters, can I cast a Detritivore with five time counters for :symr:?
Morph allows you to CAST face down so a face down morph will cost 0 with animar at 3 counters. Then unmorph at normal cost.
Evoke allows you to cast the creature with a ETB trigger requiring sacrifice, so again, animar reduces the evoke cost.
Suspend isn't casting it, so animar doesn't effect suspend costs. It would effect the cost to cast when the last time counter is removed if there is something to pay (such as a kicker).
And now that I mention it, kicker costs would be reduced. If you had, animar with 5 counters on him, you could cast a Joraga Warcaller kicked 5 times for GGGGGG
Hey, I have a question as to how Cloudstone Curio works. Can you return the creature that just entered the battlefield to your hand with it?
For example, if I cast Priest of Urabrask with a Cloudstone Curio in play, can I return the Priest of Urabrask to my hand and repeat? Thats the idea I'm getting from all of your posts, but that just seems bonkers!

No, you can't. If you read Cloudstone Curio, it says return ANOTHER permanent. Not the one that just entered. (It would only work if it read like Kor Skyfisher and said return *A* permanent)

Unfortunately, that won't work. However, you can, instead, throw in a simple Raging Goblin(or any red creature with just one red symbol in its cost) with Animar out. Then you cast it, put a counter on Animar, then cast Priest, another counter on Animar, get RRR, bounce the Goblin, then cast the goblin for R, bounce the Priest, cast Priest for R, get RRR, and keep going for one extra R per cycle.(And Animar gets humongous)
In any case, I love the fact that it has pro black and white. Those are the colors that usually run the most removal around my LGS, and this guy is the perfect antithesis.
Yeah I still think he is a really awesome card.
Im thinking of replacing a lot of the standard utility creatures with their morph equivalents. For example, running Nantuko Vigilante instead of something (or in addition to) like Indrik Stomphowler. The morph cards just go crazy with him, if I am correct (which Im may not be), with animar in play with 3 counters, you can cast morph cards for free right?
With a Cloudstone Curio and two morph creatures, you then go infinite storm and P/T really quickly right?

Can I flash my primeval titan into play for free because of Aluren? Because Primeval would have a converted casting cost of 3 as a result of Animars counters. Or does Aluren only check for un-modified casting costs on cards?

CMC is different than how much your paying.
If Trinisphere is out and you want to play Tormod's Crypt, just because you pay 3 mana doesn't mean Tormod's Crypt doesn't have a CMC of 0.
Same goes for Primeval Titan. Just because he costs 3 mana does not mean he has a CMC of 3. His CMC is 6, as it says on the card.
Hey Everybody! I've been working on a deck for this guy. I decided to go a little more of the beatdown route but I still have a bunch of combos in there. Please, playtest it, you can do some really satisfying things with this deck.

So we need two creatures that are colorless but that shouldn't be that difficult...

I do believe it works with morph. Good catch.
Cinnakroma Brine Elemental would love that discount
Lets say I have Aluren and Animar, Soul of Elements in play. Lets say Animar has 3 +1/+1 counters and I have a Primeval Titan in my hand.
Can I flash my primeval titan into play for free because of Aluren? Because Primeval would have a converted casting cost of 3 as a result of Animars counters. Or does Aluren only check for un-modified casting costs on cards?
