About Cauldron of Souls

Cauldron of Souls, Artifact, designed by Ron Brown first released in May, 2008 in the set Shadowmoor and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 5.25. It's a key card in 3 combos.

A deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value, such as a Aristocrats deck in Magic: the Gathering, would benefit from using Cauldron of Souls. This card can provide resilience and value by allowing creatures to persist and return to the battlefield, potentially multiple times. While there may be more efficient options for similar effects, Cauldron of Souls can still be a valuable inclusion in decks looking to maximize creature recursion and sacrifice synergies.

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

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, the returned creature will not have persist.
