Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Animar, Soul of Elements leads a Temur creature-combo deck that floods the battlefield with cheap creatures, stacks +1/+1 counters on Animar, and converts those counters into massive mana discounts. The primary win is looping Ancestral Statue once Animar has four counters, then using Slash, Reptile Rampager's alliance trigger to kill each opponent; draw-on-cast engines and tutors assemble that line. Secondary paths include Maelstrom Wanderer cascade advantage, Eldrazi cast triggers and annihilator beats, and Deadeye Navigator/Peregrine Drake mana loops. The deck is resilient because it can pivot between these lines, but Animar accelerates and protects the fastest route.
