Notes:
Red splashed green multiplayer deck designed to neuter life gain and create creature immortality with Melira + Everlasting Torment and Persist.

No idea how it'll play out but sample draw seems like it'll be fun. Any comments appreciated, this deck is a different from what I'm used to building haha

You might need a sac outlet. Check out my Melira, Combo Savant deck to see some more tricks with her.

I thought about it, but not sure if it would be worth it. I only have 3 different persist creatures, and all but the thunderblust blow themselves up anyway.  I also want the deck to be a challenge for my friends, but not frustratingly so to the point they won't want to play against it, so I'm trying to avoid "hey guys, I know this game we're playing is fun, but I'm gonna pull this infinite loop out of my butt and you all suddenly lose! Ha ha! Super fun for you guys! Why isn't everyone smiling and laughing anymore?"

As for "Why Koth?" I don't know really, I just thought he'd be fun. Helps give me mana, and then helps me deal damage. Those mountains would have wither, too, which I just think is funny.

How does {Murderous Redcap} blow itself up?

If you really want melira to work her magic, I suggest more persist and less fatties. Don't get rid of the fatties, but less of them. I suggest replacing one of them with {flayer of the hate bound} to really give your sac persist some kick.

Add {Fauna Shaman} for creature tutor, and {Phyrexia Unlife} makes you invincible.

I made a white green one of these.
{Twilight Shepherd} + {Mercy Killing} is awesome.

Target itself with its ETB damage.

Unlife is powerful for sure, but I'm avoiding it on purpose. Having both me and my creatures impervious to damage doesn't sound like fun for my friends, and all that will cause is hate-deck building just to shut down whoever had the most ridiculous deck last time we played.

Now if I were take this outside of the friend circle and into the real world, I'm sure I'd find room for Unlife in there somewhere.
