How it works
Prerequisites
- Persist Creature
Steps
- Activate Combine Guildmage's first ability by paying and tapping it.
- Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the persist creature.
- When the persist creature dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Combine Guildmage.
- Repeat from step 2.
