Focuses on manipulating +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters from persist and undying abilities in order to create creatures that can infinitely sacrifice, resulting in :infinite power/toughness, life, mana, and certain token like ooze creatures with increasing infinite power/toughness by using Gutter Grime which has the potential to create infinite mana by ramping up Gyre Sage's evolution ability. Black removal instant, sorcery, and enchantment spells help me search for important cards like Ashnod's Altar and/or Spawning Pit. I can either end up with a surplus of one colorless mana by sacrificing a persistent creature and using one of the mana from using the alter to counteract the -1/-1 with a +1+1 counter. Or sacrifice an undying creature and gain a saproling in the process which can also be sacrificed for mana and help activate other battlefield triggers with the undying and persist . Birthing Pod and Power conduit help each other because I can tap Power Conduit to exchange the counter for either a persist or undying creature to allow a second sacrifice of the creature without losing it plus gaining the extra one of equal of higher cost and bring out more persist and undying creatures to work with. Also, If I am able to get such enchantments as Grave Pact I can indirectly force by character into a board wipe scenario plus gain all the benefits of certain triggers for my creatures dying and re-entering the battlefield.
