Stalwart Successor + Bartolomé del Presidio

Stalwart Successor

Bartolomé del Presidio

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing the creature with persist.
2. When that creature dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When that creature enters, Stalwart Successor triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
4. Remove a +1/+1 and a -1/-1 counter from that creature as a state-based action.
5. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
6. Repeat.
