Ok, I am trying to build a competitive deck with the theme based on the new mechanic from shadowmoor, Persist. The combo is to get out a juniper order ranger, a nantuko husk, and any persist creature. i can sac the creature sucj as kitchen finks to the husk and when it comes back out the juniper order ranger gives it  a +1/+1 counter negating the -1/-1 counter making it infinite. i can use murderous redcap also for infinite damage. I also want to use momentary blinks incase they wrath of god me so i can save the ranger and keep the combo going. here is my deck.
 
4 Juniper order ranger
4 nantuko husk
4 kitchen finks
3 murderous redcap
3 farhaven elves
3 birds of paradise
 
3 profane command
4 momentary blink
4 nameless inversion
3 wrath of god
 
2 garruk wildspeaker
 
2 mystic gate
3 desert
3 gilt leaf palace
7 forest
4 plains
4 swamp
 
the mystic gates are so they can pay the flashback for the momentary blink. they also might help me with the two white mana needed to wrath.
 
sideboard
3 bitterblossom
1 wrath of god
4 mind stone
3 aven riftwatcher
3 terror
1 profane command

 

Solid concept. My advice is to move the deck out of black and into red. Greater Gargadon can take the place of Nantuko Husk and you’ll get access to much better lands. You can sacrifice infinitely to the Gargadon just like you can to the Husk.

 

FYI, Momentary Blink doesn’t save your critters from Wrath of God. They leave play, come back into play, and die with everything else.
