persist mtg card (Foil-etched) Return target nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a Persist · Modern Horizons 2

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

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

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

This means you can sacrifice creatures on your opponent's turn to draw a card if you wish to do so

Hes a very interesting design, in that he supports a go wide strategy (putting lots of small creatures onto the board), which leads into a go tall strategy (get one enormous creature)
