I Hate This Deck by Jamcardy

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a combo-centric Temur deck helmed by Animar, Soul of Elements, built to reduce creature costs to zero and create infinite loops using bounce creatures and ETB payoffs. The primary win condition is infinite ETB triggers via Ancestral Statue or Cloudstone Curio loops, fueling Purphoros, God of the Forge or Walking Ballista. Secondary lines include infinite mana from Peregrine Drake/Palinchron paired with Deadeye Navigator, or Intruder Alarm with mana dorks. The deck accelerates with a dense mana dork package, land enchantments, and several tutors to find combo pieces. It plays as a fast, linear combo deck that can win out of nowhere once Animar accumulates enough +1/+1 counters.
