Aerie Ouphes, Creature — ouphe, designed by Jesper Ejsing first released in Jul, 2008 in the set Eventide. It's a key card in 4 combos.
Aerie Ouphes would fit well in a midrange or control deck that focuses on utilizing flying creatures and benefits from the removal of opposing threats, particularly those with flying. Its ability to deal damage to a target creature with flying upon sacrifice can be quite effective in a meta where flying creatures are prevalent. However, there are arguably better options, such as Skyclave Shade or Murder, which provide more versatility or efficiency in removal. While Aerie Ouphes has its niche, its reliance on sacrificing itself and the specific targeting may limit its overall effectiveness, suggesting it might not see widespread play compared to more efficient removal spells or creatures that offer immediate value.

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.

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.

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.

If Aerie Ouphes has no -1/-1 counters on it when you sacrifice it to activate its first ability, persist will return Aerie Ouphes to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it before that ability resolves. The ability will check the power of Aerie Ouphes at the time you sacrificed it, not the power of the returned Aerie Ouphes (which is actually a new object with no relation to its previous existence).
