A deck that focuses on sacrificing and recurring creatures would benefit from using Murderous Redcap, as its Persist ability allows it to come back to the battlefield multiple times. While Murderous Redcap is a strong card for its ability to deal damage upon entering the battlefield, there are better options in certain decks, such as cards with more immediate impact or better synergy with specific strategies. However, in the right deck, Murderous Redcap can be a valuable inclusion for its versatility and potential for repeated damage output.

Rules

06/07/13

If a token with no -1/-1 counters on it has persist, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and can’t return to the battlefield.

06/07/13

If multiple creatures with persist are put into the graveyard at the same time (due to combat damage or a spell that destroys all creatures, for example), the active player (the player whose turn it is) puts all of their persist triggers on the stack in any order, then each other player in turn order does the same. The last trigger put on the stack is the first one that resolves. That means that in a two-player game, the nonactive player’s persist creatures will return to the battlefield first, then the active player’s persist creatures do the same. The creatures return to the battlefield one at a time.

06/07/13

The persist ability triggers when the permanent is put into a graveyard. Its last known information (that is, how the creature last existed on the battlefield) is used to determine whether it had a -1/-1 counter on it.

05/01/08

Murderous Redcap’s power is checked at the time the ability resolves. If it’s left the battlefield by then, its last known information is used.
