I wonder if 12x persist creatures might be too much and if some of them should be replaced by either: more protection for the combo, more tutors or maybe a secondary combo (like Druid and Ballista/Rhonas).
What do you think ?
A card which should probably be in the deck is Spellskite which helps protect the combo and is a Stirrings hit.
I wonder whether it is better in the mainboard in place of Giver of Runes (anti-targeted removal) or in the SB over Selfless Spirit (the anti-wrath card).
# Ancient Stirrings - helps dig towards the artifact sac'-engines (Altar/Station) and also finds Masticore and lands.
# Eladamri's Call - A creature tutor to assemble the combo and get SB bullets.
# Melira, Sylvok Outcast - another persist enabler besides Vizier and Anafenza.
Here is the deck idea:
2x Giver of Runes
4x Safehold Elite
4x Lesser Masticore
4x Vizier of Remedies
2x Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit
2x Melira, Sylvok Outcast
4x Kitchen Finks
Artifact (8)
4x Altar of Dementia
4x Blasting Station
4x Path to Exile
2x Eladamri's Call
Sorcery (4)
4x Ancient Stirrings
Land (20)
4x Horizon Canopy
4x Razorverge Thicket
4x Windswept Heath
3x Temple Garden
2x Scavenger Grounds
2x Plains
1x Forest
4x Remorseful Cleric
4x Knight of Autumn
2x Selfless Spirit
2x Gaddock Teeg
1x Phyrexian Revoker
2x Vivien, Champion of the Wilds

Another potential option to protect the combo is Dauntless Bodyguard but it is probably worse than: Giver of Runes, Spellskite and Selfless Spirit.
