One way to make this guy work would be to change the creature types of creatures in play with something like Unnatural Selection and then remove them from your graveyard with something like Tormod's Crypt
Grab Your Sword Though Grab Your Sword has been replaced by other threats since The First Chapter, this card was terrifying back in the day, and to an extent still is now
But Animar can be answered by targeted removal of the Red (Chaos Warp, burn before the counters arrive), Blue (Pongify effects, Imprisoned in the Moon, stealing, bounce), and Green (Beast Within, Desert Twister, Song of the Dryads, etc)
Qumulox A What

These are the player types, different terms Wizards of the Coast uses to describe what a player gets out of the game, and how they actually play it
