MTG Salvation

After seeing the deck called "Project Melira", which was played at the Pro Tour Philadelphia, I also wanted to build a Melira deck myself. However, unlike the tournament version, I decided to go BUG instead of BGW for some counter backup. For those not familiar with the deck: It tries to gain "infinite" life from sacrificing the Kitchen Finks to the Viscera Seer with Melira, Sylvok Outcast on the battlefield. That way, the finks will return without a -1/-1 counter and you're able to rearrange your library like you wish so you can finish them the next turn with Murderous Redcap.

Please tell me what you think of my take on the deck. I'd also appreciate some suggestions for the sideboard. I thought of putting Black Sun's Zenith there since it doesn't hurt my creatures and I can dig for it after each use.

Are 6 counters enough? I guess Glen Elendra Archmage + Melira gives you infinite noncreature counters.

The only spells that really worry me are removals. And just as you mentioned, I can counter them as long as I have Melira + Archmage out and blue mana free. At first I was also worried by the number of counterspells, but then I realized that I can fetch the Archmages with Chord of Calling which upps the virtual counter number to 10. However, I didn't get to test it a lot yet, so I'm not entirely sure the numbers work out.

I'd say it looks pretty nice as is, maybe do some testing with it. Since you have all the fetch you need via Chord of Calling and Green Sun's Zenith, plus Scry with Viscera Seer, I'd imagine you can get your infinite life and Murderous Redcap win-con going fairly smoothly. Let me know how it goes during testing, it's an interesting list.

Ok, did some testing this weekend and it turned out the amount of counters wasn't a problem. However, I realized that I definately need some recursion in the sideboard. Also, Memoricide might be quite a problem, so I think I'll throw a single Gaddock Teeg in the board for that.
