About Rendclaw Trow

Rendclaw Trow, Creature — troll, designed by Warren Mahy first released in May, 2020 in the set Eventide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.22.

A deck that focuses on -1/-1 counters and graveyard recursion would benefit from including Rendclaw Trow in its strategy, as it can provide consistent board presence and disruption. While Rendclaw Trow offers unique abilities with Wither and Persist, other cards like Geralf's Messenger or Skinrender may be considered better choices due to their immediate impact or additional effects. However, Rendclaw Trow could see play in a deck looking to create a resilient and attrition-based game plan.

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.
