Does Invader Parasite stack if you use it with Deadeye Navigator and the same type of land?

Asked by Sniperops 8 years ago

If I flicker Invader Parasite 3 times with Deadeye Navigator, and exlie 3 Plains, Will Invader Parasite deal 6 damage the next time that player plays a Plains, or just 2 damage for the most recent imprint?

No, only 2 damage.

The reason isn't that the most recent imprint is the only one that matters. Time is not the issue here.

Whenever a permanent leaves the battlefield and returns at any later point (i.e. Deadeye Navigator), it has no memory of its previous existence. Each "new" iteration of Parasite does not know what the "others" have done even though they are the same card.
