If I use Cauldron of Souls to give a creature perist, when it comes back, does it still have persist?

Asked by Diosim 8 years ago

Basically the idea is to reach an infinite loopHardened Scales + Cauldron of Souls give a Arcbound Ravager an endless diet of an Arcbound worker

1) Worker comes into play with 2 +1/+1 counters

2) Give it persist

3) Sac it to give Raver a hearty meal

4) Worker returns with 1 +1/+1 counter and persist still on it?

5) Ravager feasts again

6) and again

7) and again

X) profit

Cauldron of Souls, Hardened Scales, Arcbound Ravager, Arcbound Worker

If a nontoken creature that gains persist this way is put into a graveyard, that card will be returned to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it. However, because its a new object with no relation to its previous existence, the returned creature will not have persist.
