When finks dies and the triggers go on the stack, you first choose to have persist bring back the finks and then you choose the undying to bring him back.  The undying resolves and brings him back with a +1/1.  Next time he dies you do the opposite and he comes back with a -1/1.....rinse and repeat

{Murderous Redcap} also does damage. Also, {Woodfall Primus} to blow up everyone's lands.

Make sure you use the last two counters on him to deal the damage to itself. Remembering he will be a 2/2 with mikaeus on the field.

you only need to shoot {triskelion} with one of his own counters. once hes a 2/2 with 1 counter left you remove the last counter and target him. hell be a 1/1 since he has no counters and hell die to himself.

So 2 counters must be removed to kill {triskelion} because initially he is a 2/2 due to mikaeus. So it's just more careful consideration of how trisk's counters are removed because he would need to die fer the loop
