About Cauldron Haze

Cauldron Haze, Instant, designed by Brandon Kitkouski first released in Jul, 2008 in the set Eventide. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 8.98.

Cauldron Haze could be beneficial in a deck focused on sacrificing and recurring creatures, such as a Aristocrats or Sacrifice deck, as it provides a way to keep key creatures on the battlefield longer. However, a more efficient alternative could be Undying Evil, which grants undying to a single creature for just one mana. Cauldron Haze may see play in specific strategies that rely on persist mechanics, but its usefulness may be limited compared to other similar cards.

Rules

06/07/13

If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.

06/07/13

If a creature with persist that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner’s graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, persist won’t trigger and the card won’t return to the battlefield. That’s because persist checks the creature’s existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.

06/07/13

If a permanent has multiple instances of persist, they’ll each trigger separately, but the redundant instances will have no effect. If one instance returns the card to the battlefield, the next to resolve will do nothing.

06/07/13

When a permanent with persist returns to the battlefield, it’s a new object with no memory of or connection to its previous existence.

08/01/08

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 it’s a new object with no relation to its previous existence, that permanent will not have persist.
