About Thunderblust

Thunderblust, Creature — elemental, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in Jul, 2008 in the set Eventide and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 16.80.

This card would benefit a red aggressive deck looking to apply pressure early in the game, as Thunderblust's haste ability allows it to attack immediately. However, there are better options for similar mana costs in the current Magic: the Gathering card pool, such as Thundermaw Hellkite or Inferno Titan, which offer more impactful abilities and immediate board impact. Thunderblust may struggle to see play in competitive formats due to its high mana cost and relatively limited impact compared to other available options.

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.
