I found a nice combo:
Woodfall Primus, Doomgape and Mighty Emergence.
Doomgape lets you sacrifice woodfall primus to destroy a noncreature permanent and gain some life, and since its 5/5 when it comes into play it gets two +1/+1 counters so you can repeat as long as you can!
Oh and Woodfall Primus gets a +1/+1 counter every turn so you will gain more life every turn.

@ Quang: No, persist allow it to destroy TWO non-creature permanents. When a creature with persist enters the graveyard, if it has no -1/-1 counters on it, it returns to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter. So unless you're using something like Heartmender to wipe away the counters, it will only persist once.
I also think if you give it +1/+1 counters with something like Immaculate Magistrate, it will have the same effect as wiping away the -1/-1 counter.. in other words, I don't think that it would have both a -1/-1 counter and a +1/+1 counter.

There is almost no reason for you not to attack every turn. Even if it dies it benefits you. Repeatedly.

@ GoGo26 that is a good combo but b/c the woodfall primus keeps dying it only ever becomes a 7/7 regardless 7 life a turn isn't bad but it wouldn't go above that

As GoGo26 has suggested, pair this with Mighty Emergence and you're in good shape. But why settle for one sacrifice per turn? With a Nantuko Husk or the like, you can destroy every nonland permanent you want, whenever you want. Plus, you have an infinitely large husk and a 7/7 trampler to keep it company.

"destroy noncreature permanent"
Can this ability be used to destroy a Planeswalker card?
