Hello everyone
let's say I have a luminous broodmoth, a sac outlet such as viscera seer and a card with undying or persist such as kitchen finks
If my understanding is correct, I can sac kitchen finks, and can then choose to put the persist trigger above the luminous broodmoth trigger on the stack. kitchen finks then would come back with a -1/-1 counter and no flying counter. Then I can sac finks again this time only triggering luminous broodmoth. kitchen finks then comes back with a flying counter and no -1/-1 counter. this can be repeated for infinite life and scry
Is my understanding of this interaction correct?
thank you

This understanding is correct.
When Kitchen Finks dies for the first time (with no counters on it), you'll have two triggered abilities go on the stack: Persist and Luminous Broodmoth's recursion ability. Either way, Finks will return to the battlefield with a counter on it, depending on which trigger you decide to resolve first. If you sacrifice Finks again, either a -1/-1 or flying counter is missing, so the ability you didn't choose will trigger and return Finks to the battlefield again.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but would this same process also work with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed?

Yes. Persist and undying are effectively interchangeable here.DementedKirby wrote: ↑4 years agoSorry to hijack the thread, but would this same process also work with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed?
