Log in RULINGS 2024-09-20 If a creature with persist that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, persist won't trigger and the card won't return to the battlefield
With that in mind, Ive put together a list of great preconstructed decks you can still get hold of
As Magic players, we all sit somewhere between "100% player" and "100% collector" on the proverbial Player/Collector spectrum
The 2D and 3D stamped Base Set Pikachus and Shadowless Yellow Cheeks from the Base Set and Japanese CD Promo are a close second and third, but those at least have some visual difference between them
They wont be so keen to get that value then, will they
Anyway , when you want your card to be done with its adventure, it can return safely
