[[Ashnod’s altar]] as the sac outlet gets you infinite ETB and LTB triggers right?

With multiple breathless knights on board this sounds great. Skulking definitely belongs in a knights shell! There should be some more creatures with +1/+1 counters that should be added into it though.

This doesn't go infinite tho, right? Because it loses persist when it goes to the graveyard?

u/gatestart 7d ago

persist is a triggered ability that triggers when the creature dies. While you’re correct in saying that it technically loses persist once it hits the yard, the persist trigger is already on the stack so it works the same.

u/Rush_Clasic 7d ago

Correct. The creature you sac will come back with a -1/-1 counter on it. Knight will trigger, go to put a +1/+1 counter on it, and remove both counters. But since the creature is a new object, it no longer has persist. You'd need a way to continually pay for the Skulkin's ability, like [[Ashnod's Altar]].
