Deck discussion for Melira Unlife

I know a card that is required in this, Birthing Pod. You can use it on the Kitchen Finks, kills him and persist kicks in returning him to the field. Then from the pod you get Melira out, removes the -1/-1 counter. Repeat.

Replace Altar of Bone with Birthing Pod and the deck is Modern legal even! :D

That is very true. And birthing pod pretty much does the same thing, but puts the creature in play and works well with the persist. Of which you should try to find more of to cause the infinite loop with Melira.

To search up Melira, you have to sac and search the Pilgrim. You can't sacrifice the finks for Melira, because she'd have to be a four cost.

I would recommend Congregation at Dawn over Altar of Bone, to make the deck Modern-legal.

Im not sure that melira works with phyrexian unlife the way you are meaning it to. the way I see it, the creatures don't gain infect, its just all damage that is dealt to you is dealt as if it was infect, as in a replacement effect. see where im coming from? but im not sure.

That article explains how Phyrexian Unlife plus Melira keeps you from losing the game :)

Yeah, Melira literally says "You can't get poison counters." That seems pretty incontrovertible. I agree though that her other static effect (by itself) wouldn't prevent poison counters that are a result of Phyrexian Unlife.

I made my own version of this a little while ago, however I used Reverse the Sands and Repay in Kind, you may want to consider those, and to get your full use out of Melira you can add Death's Shadow (also works well with unlike! - I know it is black but one mana so it doesn't require a lot of black mana) and Etched Monstrosity.

Good synergy! Why not green suns zenith. This deck needs melira down to work. And also take a look enlightened and idyllic tutor. You need to find both of the cards to make this work
