Can I stack the triggered abilities of Purity and Gift of Immortality in such a way that the creature returns to the battlefield instead of being shuffled in my library?
Asked by Yotian_Soldier 5 years ago
I control both cards and Gift of Immortality is enchanting Purity and say somehow the creature dies.

One small caveat; When you stack these abilities to keep Purity on the battlefield its ability still causes you to shuffle your library. From Gatherer:
If the Incarnation is removed from the graveyard after the ability triggers but before it resolves, it will remain in its new zone when its owner shuffles their library. Similarly, if a replacement effect has the Incarnation move to a different zone instead of being put into the graveyard, the ability wont trigger at all.
Otherwise, exactly as described above by Boza.

Purity, Gift of Immortality for reference. Remember to link your cards to make it clearer for everybody else.
Yes, this is possible.
Both Gift and Purity trigger from the same event and will trigger at the same time. You will have the opportunity to order the triggers, so put Purity's trigger first and Gift's trigger last on the stack.
Objects on the stack resolve one at time in Last in, First Out order. So, the Gift's trigger will resolve and return the creature. Then Purity's trigger will resolve without doing anything, since the creature is no longer in the graveyard. Then, at the end of turn, Gift of Immortality's delayed trigger ability will resolve, attaching itself back to Purity.
