An Orzhov persist combo deck. Based off SaffronOlive's budget mono white persist combo deck at https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-magic-103-29-tix-mono-white-persist-combo-modern-magic-online

Adds black for better sideboard options and some card advantage, and also adds Giver of Runes to protect the combo pieces. Giver of Runes also hopefully provides enough protection for Vizier of Remedies replacing the Solemnity to save some mana. Also adds the new Putrid Goblin instead of Lesser Masticore to avoid the discard cost.

Thinking about a GW version as well: GW Persist Combo
