Animar is a fun, fast, and ingenuitive storm deck that uses creatures rather than instants and sorceries. It is the deck I've played the most and longest, and has gone through quite a few changes.
This most recent iteration still aims to win via Ancestral Statue to generate infinite counters on Animar and then Walking Ballista to ping each opponent to 0. However, the path to get there has somewhat changed.
Weird Harvest for x=2 gets us the combo, and casting for x=3 gives us protection options. Spellseeker can find Harvest, and there are myriad creature tutors to find her. On the other hand, Imperial Recruiter can still be used, but unfortunately can't fetch Ancestral Statue. Instead, first grab Phyrexian Metamorph copying Recruiter to grab Kiri-Onna. Bounce and replay Metamorph as Kiri to bounce her, and then upon casting Kiri you can bounce Metamorph and then Kiri. This requires UUU to gain infinite Animar counters.
Here's a tappedout decklist to playtest, and special thanks to ShaperSavant for his recent work on the deck to inspire these changes.
