How it works

Activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing the persist creature.
The sacrificed creature's persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
The Great Henge triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on the persist creature and causing you to draw a card.
The -1/-1 and +1/+1 counters are removed as a state-based action.
Resolve the ability from step 1.
Repeat.
