persist mtg card (Foil-etched) 1 counter on it Persist (Card) | EDHREC

I received an Illuna, Apex of Wishes mutate commander deck and the value pretty much matched/slightly exceeded the price

With that, you can have a character with a large lore, hit it with a lucky dime twice, and then have it quest for a total gain of three times its value

Protect yourself with the Invisible Womans Walls while building your noncreature enginethen its time to stretch, flame on, and clobber

And seeing as you can't put the counters on anything you control, you'll always be benefitting too, which is the main thing

Being able to sacrifice one of your creatures to draw a card is a nice way to respond at instant speed to a targeted removal spell
