Deck Description

So I stumbled onto the idea of making a really fun persist deck - basically use Melira, Anafenza, and Juniper to make your persist creatures invincible. Any feedback would be great!

EDIT#1: It's taken a turn into a sacrificial deck, because well, when you can sacrifice a creature infinitely, are you really not going to do that?

EDIT#2: Holy mother of muffins, this is starting to seem fun to play. You can gain infinite life, deal infinite damage, infinitely mill your opponent, make your enemy sacrifice infinite creatures, create a huge (not quite infinite) amount of 2/2 artifact creatures, create infinite Eldrazi 0/1 tokens that can be sacrificed for colorless mana, create an infinitely large vampire, and above all else, you can choose what cards you and your enemy draw each turn.

EDIT#3: I made more changes to make this deck more likely to kill your opponent. I.E removed some fun cards (to the sideboard) in favor of more practical ones. These are the "special effects" cards that do some sweet infinite combos, but don't outright kill the enemy. So it's more consistent, but slightly less fun. I'm conflicted ;_;

How to Play

The key cards that keep our persist creatures alive:
Keys:
Melira, Sylvok Outcast
Juniper Order Ranger
Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit.

Our sacrificial persist creatures which we shall gleefully sacrifice to attain victory ^_^
Sacrifices:
Safehold Elite
Kitchen Finks - Upon death you gain life
Rendclaw Trow
Restless Apparition.

Remember for later, a Key + a Sacrifice is an, "Infinitus Aperatus". Yeah I made that up ^_^ but I will refer to it later.

These are cards that enable you to sacrifice creatures.
Sa(disti)c outlets:
Blasting Station - Deals one damage to enemy player
Spawning Pit - Creates 2/2 artifact creatures
Thoughtpicker Witch - Scry 2 of enemy deck, exile one.
Viscera Seer - Scry 1
Bloodthrone Vampire - Gains +2/+2 until end of turn

Special sac effects
(needs other sac outlet) Pawn of Ulamog - Creates a 0/1 Eldrazi that produces mana
(needs other sac outlet) Altar of Brood - Mill your opponent one card
(needs other sac outlet) Grave Pact - Enemy sacrifices a creature
(needs other sac outlet) Blook Artist - Heals you & damages Enemy

Now the fun part! Take any Infinitus Aperatus (any key card like Melira and a persist creature), and combine it with the outlet for the desired effect - but multiplied by infinity. You can also throw in special effects cards to do more cool stuff.

What make me so excited about this deck is that you can essentially choose what card you draw each turn through Viscera Seer - if you scry an infinite amount of times you might as well search your library for a card and put it on top of your (shuffled) library. Through this process you can choose what effects you want to use each turn!
