Animar Artifacts by Cowboy_Bean_Bowl

Format: Commander

Commander: Animar, Soul of Elements

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Animar, Soul of Elements drives a creature-heavy artifact strategy that reduces creature costs and accelerates into large artifact creatures and combo-style finishes. The primary plan is to ramp with mana dorks, cheap artifacts, and land, then cast Animar and reduce creature costs while generating value from artifact ETBs and draw engines. Secondary paths include a small infect package (Virulent Silencer, Myr Convert, poison counters), direct damage from Impact Tremors/Molten Gatekeeper/Ingenious Artillerist, and a Craterhoof Behemoth overrun. The hidden commander is the double-faced Everflowing Well // Myriad Pools, which can copy permanent spells for extra value. The deck also contains the Ancestral Statue + Animar infinite combo as an outlet via Walking Ballista or pingers. It aims for a mid-speed explosive game, finishing around turn 6-8 with either combat damage or combo.
