This is an Extension to this Combo http://www.mtgcombos.com/view.php?fid=2&tid=65078
I just wanted to use Flourishing Defenses another way!-) Rule: •5/1/2008: This ability triggers both when a -1/-1 counter is put on a creature on the battlefield and when a creature enters the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it. This includes when a creature returns to the battlefield as a result of persist.

Have all in Play. Sac the Safehold Elite to your sac engine granting you a benefit (replace the altar by your favourite one). The SE returns due to persist, this Triggers both, the Ivy AND the Flourishing defenses. Place 1 +1 Counter on the Triskelion. The elf token enters. Put another +1/+1 Counter on the SE removing th e-1/-1 Counter.
Repeat.
At the end you have some elf Tokens, a huge Triskelion and lots of benefit from the sac engine.

Triskelion AND Altar could be replaced by just Blasting Station, makes you a huge Ivy and damage.

You could just keep Altar, Elf, and Ivy Lane and you are milling everyone.

Yes, I know; that was already posted (see the link). But the inspiration was the Flourishing Defenses triggered by a creature with persist entering the battlefield.
This would enable you also to use non-green cretures with persist.
