How it works
Prerequisites
- Persist Creature
Steps
- Activate Yahenni by sacrificing the persist creature.
- When the persist creature dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
- When the persist creature enters the battlefield, Celes's second ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
- Resolve the Yahenni ability.
- Repeat.
