The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
Me and my friend came up with using undying and persist together and thought it would be interesting to play (and yes turns out we weren't the "first"). Apparently the rules state creatures that have both you choose which one happens i.e. first use undying ... then persist ... then undying.
To get mikaeus out early use entomb / buried alive then exhume then start playing persist creatures and use start sacking them for sillyness

what is the benefit of using both?
creature dies, lets choose undying to trigger, comes back with a +1/+1, creature dies, undying won't trigger but persist can bringing it back with a -1/-1, creature dies, persist can't trigger but undying can ... etc.
if a creature with Undying AND Persist dies, it is returned to the battle field with a +1/+1 counter AND a -1/-1 counter. the player controlling the permenant gets to decide the order the counters are placed, but you dont get to intentionally skip a trigger. the second time it would die, it would stay dead.
... you get to choose what order persist or undying go on the stack and as soon as one resolves the card is no longer in the graveyard and the other ability won't trigger / also now +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters cancel out as a state based action ... :P
interesting theory. it seems you are correct. I doubt you came up with it though, as there is a fairly effective mordern deck using the same idea...either way, thanks for bringing this up
what is your sacrifice outlet (other than rites and pod)?
Birthing Pod usually fills that role nicely
not sure ... me and my friend thought of it randomly then i made sure to do my research before i posted anything O.o ... next will be the persist modular combo that I "believe" might work?
Viscera Seer will allow infinte

Add a free, repeatable sacirifice outlet for infinite damage etc?
