Persist Deck (Help please)

by Enferno on 09 March 2010

Main Deck (63 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I am trying to create a fast-paced Persist Deck that has survival, but this totally depends on Heartmender. I would like help to perhaps add another combo that is Vintage (T1) playable.

Quillspike + Rendclaw Trow + Golgari Rotwurm sac trow to rotwurm, target player looses one life. trow comes back, remove -1/-1 from trow, quillspike gets +3/+3, rinse and repeat. Quillspike gets huge and target player looses life each time. Add a Rite of Consumption and "fling" quillspike at opponent.

try adding cards like birds of paradise and dark ritual for some mana acceleration to make your deck faster

check power conduit, and maybe the graft land (green) and indeed devoed druid is really nice with powerconduit and devoted druid.

oh and remove giant growth, its useless since it isn't even able to get rid of a -1/-1 counter

if you add devoted druid you can have an infinite combo with quillspike for a win. quillspike+devoted druid=infinite big creature then rite of consumption. add flourishing defenses, infinite creatures
check out my deck in progress...

ok... u need mana acceleration so i would go with DARK RITUAL
I would also go with: SOLDEVI ADNATE (this card is cheep - sacrifice a persister, he comes back and u get like 3 or 4 mana)
you need to empty out your hand as fast as possible... u NEED quillspike cus its your only win condition (if u really don't to put him in use FALLEN IDEAL - thats another win condition)

My persist deck is a lot better imo. It has much more answers to different types of situations. Check it out http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=99718
