Where it came from
Animar, Soul of Elements was introduced as the marquee legendary creature for the 'Mirror Mastery' deck in the inaugural Commander 2011 release. This set marked Wizards of the Coast's first dedicated effort to provide preconstructed products for the Commander format, which had grown from a grassroots fan invention into a pillar of Magic: The Gathering. As a mythic rare, Animar was designed to embody the mechanics of Simic and Temur color identities, rewarding players for casting creature spells by growing in power and reducing future costs.
The artwork was commissioned from Peter Mohrbacher, who illustrated the elemental as a vast, shifting entity composed of forest and flame. His design approach emphasized the creature's connection to the natural world and the ethereal essence of the elemental typing. The card was met with immediate acclaim within the community for its unique ability to enable explosive, creature-heavy playstyles, solidifying its status as a staple commander in the format for years to follow.
