Glorious Anthem doesn't balance persist. It isn't a +1/+1 counter, just +1/+1. It is layer effect, as opposed to counters. You could use things like Juniper Order Ranger. Good start, keep working on it.

I'll see if i have a card that gives all creatures a +1/+1 counter... Even if it's just till end of turn, it should work, right?

I think all the counter cards are perminate. I can't think of any that only put on a counter until end of turn.

True, true... Is there a card that has grafting and gets a +1/+1 every time a creatures enters/leaves the graveyard/play?

Best idea I've seen is using Cauldron of Souls and Vigean Hydropon. There are solid green and solid blue, but the mana cost is highter. Pick based on what you need. It isn't infinite but it gives a full life each turn, and if you go with blue then fligre sages can untap for 3 mana the cauldron to do it again.

This would add two colors, but you could use Experiment Kraj and Intruder Alarm. The Kraj would put on a +1/+1 counter, so the -1/-1 counter falls off.

Don't sweat it, I just got my first Experiment Kjaj today, that's why I knew the ability. And I don't have any Intruder Alarms at all.

Mentok, for this to work with golgari colors, you would need something like Gaea's Anthem, otherwise the scarecrow would be a persistant 4/2 after the first sacrifice.

how Emergence puts 2 +1/+1 counters first cancels the -1/-1 second beefs it up again the anthem will not cancel the -1/-1

Well, when the scarecrow first comes into play it comes into play with two +1/+1 counters, you're right about that., but when it comes into play with persist, it comes into play as a 4/2, so it doesn't get the two counters. The anthem makes it comes into play with +1/+1, bumping it up to 5 power, even though the anthem doesn't get rid of the -1/-1 counter.

You can't do that because the mana is generated with this card

Well, Birka, you I think that this would work, but it would cost quite a bit of mana. You would need a creature with at least graft 2, like, Aquastrand Spider. You would also need Mycosynth Lattice and Cauldron of Souls, or Cauldron Haze. I'm not sure if this will work, but I'm pretty sure it will.
