Creature — Angel

EDHREC Rank #14,144

Flying, vigilance When this creature enters, return to your hand all cards in your graveyard that were put there from the battlefield this turn. Persist (When this creature dies, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a -1/-1 counter on it.)

Rulings (7)

If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.

The persist ability triggers when the permanent is put into a graveyard. Its last known information (that is, how the creature last existed on the battlefield) is used to determine whether it had a -1/-1 counter on it.

If a permanent has multiple instances of persist, they’ll each trigger separately, but the redundant instances will have no effect. If one instance returns the card to the battlefield, the next to resolve will do nothing.
