Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck leverages Animar, Soul of Elements as a premier mana engine and combo centerpiece to deploy massive Eldrazi threats and execute instant-speed win lines. In the early game, cheap mana dorks establish Animar quickly. Each creature spell grows Animar, reducing the generic cost of subsequent creatures to negligible amounts. Once Animar has four counters, Ancestral Statue bounces itself repeatedly for free to grow Animar to arbitrary power or trigger infinite storm for Grapeshot and Brain Freeze. Secondary combo lines utilizing Cloudstone Curio, Machine God's Effigy with Devoted Druid, and Deadeye Navigator alongside massive Eldrazi cast triggers guarantee a rapid, insurmountable endgame.
