Okay so I've been brainstorming this Kenrith deck with persist combo as the wincon and it's not very smooth from a card advantage perspective--Kenrith is just kinda bad if you don't feed him, and I don't want to get on that Seedborn Muse bus.
I played abzan Coco for years in modern and really like it, would try to capture some of that magic of bashing face with 2-for-1 3/2s while threatening to combo out.
So I had an idea when I started noticing a lot of the enablers are multicolored. We have:
sac outlets
Persist enablers
Persisters
Some things to think about:
1) What does a ramp package look like, assuming you're willing to bend the Niv theme little but not go full goodstuff?
Stuff like Bloom Tender, Deathrite Shaman, Faeburrow Elder, Birds of Paradise, Growth Spiral?
Maybe I play a Cryptolith Rite / Earthcraft combo?
2) How many of each type do I want? Like obviously Grazing Kelpie is trash.
3) Are there any must have multicolored spells ? Seems like a lot of good ones like Voidslime / Drown in the Loch / Decisive Denial. But it also feels super easy to go overboard with the curve.
Any other thoughts?
