Deck discussion for Persist

Have you considered Decimator Beetle as a method of transferring -1 counters to the opponents' creatures?

There are also numerous enchantments that put a +1 counter on a creature when it enters the battlefield. You seem to be missing the -1 to +1 counter conversion bit in the deck. Or maybe I am just missing your overall strategy.

The idea was to negate the -1/-1 counters with hunger of the howlpack and other cards that add +1/+1 counters to creatures who've returned with persist. But decimator beetle is a good add. Might replace it with guru of the spores since he's no longer legal in modern.

In a faster 1v1 game, your current plan of single efficient pump spells likely works great (especially howlpack).

Things might skew in a multiplayer or longer duration game (against a control deck). For those, maybe put some board wipes into your sideboard for swapping (it would asymmetric as your stuff will come back and theirs will not).

I think you might be better off dropping white. Also, no Persist deck is complete without a Quillspike! Power Conduit is also a solid choice, since it can save two creatures at a time in a persist deck. It would also allow you to mix in creatures with Undying.
