Cloudstone Curio and Animar is equivalent to defenestrating your opponent. Oh-so abusable cards such as Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Indrik Stomphowler, or any other creatures with obnoxious etb effects will give Animar counters while ruining any friendship you might have had with your opponent.

@Wanderer25: Note that Stingscourger limits his bounce ability to a creature one of your opponents controls, so he couldn't be used in this scenario. I've found that Shrieking Drake has been the best card in my Animar deck and the one I most often tutor for.

I wouldn't rate Animar on the same level as Zur, Azami, Momir Vig, or Sharuum. If he is killed early, before he gets big, he loses a lot of his bite. A Wrath of God is particularly devastating for Animar decks. Zur decks keep their enchantments, Azami still will have a handful of cards, Momir Vig will still have the combo pieces in hand, and Sharuum will only be played when it will start the infinite loop. That said, Animar still can explode quickly if he can last a turn on the board late game with a hand of cards.

@LordofAwesome33

That card is exactly why I run Shattering Pulse, Shatterstorm, and Shattering Spree in all of my red-based EDH decks. People always find some stupid awesome way to break that card...and then I break it even harder, into their graveyard.

Animar is indeed an amazing general. I wouldn't say best; that's kind of up to the people running it, and the people playing against it. You make a crappy deck with him in it, it's still a crappy deck.

Alluren is definitely a good card to run with him. After you get around 5 counters on him, basically everything is free to cast. His colors also open you into a whole slew of infinite combos; Red for damage, Green for creatures, and Blue to feed the other two.

He is a perfect comander for mirror mastery but i never used him for that because Riku of Two Reflections whas fun to and i already had animar in my opening hand 90% of the times, which is a little bit stange since it is a highlander format, I'm now gonna use it in my golem deck ( i build verry much golem decks around golem foundry even whitout possesing any Precursor Golem's )
becaus i proliferate really really much ( i use Seedborn Muse for mana to use Viral Drake) and artifact creatures cost only colorless mana most times so the will be free somewhere halway my legion of golems

Doubling Season and Mayael's Aria with Aluren... a player's greatest triumph and his opponent's worst nightmare.

Future Sight / Magus of the Future + Cream of the Crop. If you build your deck properly and Animar has enough counters on him, this can simply spew creatures out into play. Just be sure you have something that gives haste, like Fires of Yavimaya.

Aluren + Man-o'-War + Stingscourger can make him infinitely large... and if you have Tidespout Tyrant out, it will bounce all of your opponents permanents as well. Or just kill everyone right then with Furious Assault.

This guy has to be one of the top three strongest, if not the strongest, of the Commander legends. I can't say he'll be the most fun to play with or against, though... he makes for an extremely versatile deck that can be explosively aggressive but can also win through a combo late in the game.

I honestly expect that this will, unfortunatel... (see all)
