Is it a functional combo Mikaeus, the Unhallowed (My favorite card) with a Persist Card and Ashnod's Altar?

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hello,\n\nI'm French, so sorry if my English isn't perfect! 😄\n\nI'd like to ask about a combo idea involving my favorite card: Mikaeus, the Unhallowed.\n\nThe idea is to combine Mikaeus with a creature that has Persist and Ashnod's Altar. Since both Persist and Mikaeus grant return-from-the-graveyard abilities (Undying and Persist), I understand that both triggers go on the stack at the same time when the creature dies.\n\nMy question is: can I choose which ability to resolve — Persist or Undying — in order to create a loop? For example, sacrifice the creature with Ashnod’s Altar, bring it back with one of the two abilities, then repeat the process.\n\nDoes this interaction work as a combo?\n\nThanks!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hello, I checked since last time and I found rule 603.3b, which confirms my theory about the combo. It states: ‘If multiple abilities have triggered since the last time a player received priority, each player, in APNAP order, puts the triggered abilities they control on the stack in the order of their choice.’ Therefore, my Mikaeus + Persist combo works as long as I alternate the two resurrection abilities between -1/-1 and +1/+1 counters. Thanks :D\n"}]}
