    Here it is! The Oros, the Avenger deck that I may own very shortly own. I am probably dropping some serious cash here, so if you guys could take a look and help me with any final changes, I'd be beyond grateful. I realized after I made it, I didn't put any trample in. It may not be necessary though with how effective it potentially can be clearing the board. But hey, maybe y'all think differently. Let me know! Thanks!

    Duplicant posted a message on [[Primer]] Animar, Soul of Elements (combo)
    Animar is my only current powerhouse EDH deck. All the others are works in progress. My deck has about four cards that give hexproof; Alpha Authority, Shielding Plax, Whispersilk Cloak, and Neurok Stealthsuit(really great with its two blue mana attach ability). I have found that you really want to play Animar as soon as possible, however, if you are playing with people that either know your deck or know Animar well, be very wary of opponent's open mana when casting. After face stomping a couple friends back to back games, it quickly becomes a 2v1 in the third game with them watching your every move. If they keep leaving mana open, just build a board state and wait until the right opportunity. Although, in many cases, if they are determined to 2v1 you, you are probably going to get set back a bit.

    I haven't looked at all of the previous comments, but here are some of my favorite cards to play using Animar. A huge card you definitely should have in the deck is Archetype of Endurance. It will quickly become one of your most tutored creatures. I also love Duplicant, if you can't tell from my nickname. Other essentials for the deck include Equilibrium, Cloudstone Curio, Erratic Portal, and Crystal shard. With creature bounce, Fierce Empath becomes an almost broken card in Animar. I can't tell you how many times I've used Green sun's Zenith to tutor Fierce Empath, to tutor Duplicant. After that, I repeatedly bounce Fierce Empath and get any big utility creature out I need... perhaps it is Artisan of Kozilek. I can go on and on. Peregrine Drake is an infinite combo, Cloud of faeries is an infinite combo, a Forgotten Ancient out with any of these combos makes every creature you own infinite power and toughness come the next upkeep. Animar can do dirty dirty things. Oh yeah, and although I just mentioned it in the last post, Grinning Ignus is a turn 4 infinite powered Animar and infinite colorless mana...
