The idea is to abuse Zameck Guildmage/Master Biomancer with persist creatures.

The combo:

Zameck Guildmage uses his ability that says "Whenever a creature etb this turn/+1/+1 counter on it" and so if your persist creature dies it will come back with both a -1/-1 counter and a +1/+1 counter. Then both counters cancel each other out.

For a less intensive way to do this you just need to get a Master Biomancer on the battlefield. So long as Biomancer has a power of 1 or more your persist creatures will come back indefinitely.

to make this especially abusive I've included Kitchen Finks, Murderous Redcap, and Glen Elendra Archmage. With these creatures you can gain life, deal damage, and counter non creature spells indefinitely.

To abuse it even more i've included sacrifice outlets in Viscera Seer and Spawning Pit. If you have the combo up with a persist creature and biomancer/zameck then all you are waiting for is a way to win. Your creatures stick around forever so you can make great blocks, but if you get into the Murderous redcap you win immediately. So seer allows you to sack your persist creature until you get a redcap on top of the deck. Spawning Pit with a persist creature gives you at least a 2/2 for each mana you have available. When i have the combo I just put 1000000 counters on Pit for the shiggles.

The deck obviously has troubles with faster combos and Leyline of the Void, but it's really fun to play at the very least. I'm looking for more combos so that if one aspect fails I can use a different aspect and still be ok.

Glen Elendra Archmage is a self sacrificing creature so if you have biomancer she will counter every non creature spell so long as you have blue mana to sacrifice her.

Zameck guildmage also does double duty because it allows your creatures to get those important +1/+1 counters but also lets you draw a card when you absolutely have to.

i have changed the deck up a little since its inception...yesterday. I decided that Birthing Pod fits perfectly in here and lets you activate a zameck guildmage and sack it to get a kitchen finks. Finks filters into Master Biomancer and when you have the combo of either biomancer or guildmage going, pod can sack a kitchen finks into a redcap if need be.

Cards i have considered for this deck and some I took out:

Greater Good Spawning Pit *list*
