About Restless Apparition

Restless Apparition, Creature — spirit, designed by Jeff Easley 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 6.04. It's a key card in 1 combos.

Restless Apparition would be a great fit in a white-black midrange or control deck looking to utilize its repeatable pump ability and resilience provided by Persist. However, in a competitive Magic: the Gathering environment, there are likely better options available, such as cards with more impactful abilities or lower mana costs, making it less likely for Restless Apparition to see significant play in top-tier decks.

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.
