Title: Persist
Post by: Raven316 on February 10, 2013, 11:06:39 AM
If you have {viscera seer}. And {melira, sylvok outcast} and {murderous redcap} and you sac murderous recap to viscera seer and someone kills melira can u still kill them before you have to get rid of melira by using the persist combo?

How does the stack work on this?

How do they kill them? A kill spell?

I believe this happens.. When a creature with persist or undying dies, they automatically come back before anyrhing else can take place. This would allow you to continue sacrificing even after the kill card is on the stack. I always thought there was no room to cast spells whilst persist cards were in the graveyard, making the infinite sac combo unstoppable once all parts resolve. Confirm or resolve anyone?

Persist is a trigger. If they destroy {Melira, Sylvok Outcast} while you are waiting for persist to resolve, the combo is broken.

If they destroyed her while the Redcap was in play, you could sac it in response and start the combo with the destroy at the bottom of the stack.

The in response part I know I can do and accomplish my goal but if they kill melira after I declare my sac then my loop is broken is what u are saying? Is that how you would stop the loop ?

Ok i didnt know persist was stackable, i thought it immediately reenteres the battlefield. Very good to know as i have a whole deck based on a combo like this
