G/W Persist deck.

Another random deck I stuck together a few days ago. Did quite well actually. Had one loss to an Oversouled Oversoul deck and Red Deck Wins (But I won the best of three). Had some difficulty beating a blue/black card advantage deck. But then again, if someone manages to draw four Cryptic Commands in the course of a game, you're screwed otherwise eh?

4 x Twilight Shepherd (I never played her, considering taking her out)
4 x Wilt-Leaf Liege
4 x Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers
3 x Heartmender
4 x Kitchen Finks
4 x Safehold Elite

4 x Turn to Mist (never cast them, another candidate for exclusion)
4 x Wrath of God
3 x Shield of the Oversoul
4 x Safewright Quest

23 x Plains

What the deck really has is staying power. The persist creatures just keep on coming back, and survive your Wraths (hopefully the other guy's critters don't), and Wilt-Leaf Liege gives all your critters a massive power boost. Plus Shield of the Oversoul, it's just gay.

I'm thinking of maybe swopping out the Shepherds for Gaddock Teeg (have to change my mana base for that though, plus it means I can't Wrath with impunity) and Turn to Mist for Oblivion Ring.

I like this deck.

Hi, ever considered Immaculate Magistrate, Ajani Goldmane or other cards with +1/+1 effects? (+1/+1 counters negate -1/-1 coutners.) This way, you creatures come back, again and again... you could use some sac engine with kitchen finks or ravenous redcap, to gain life/deal damage (Sigil Captain helps a lot here)...

This is probably a really old deck list, but Juniper Order Ranger is absolutely nuts in this kind of deck.
