If I use Birthing Pod to sacrifice a Glen Elendra Archmage, does her Persist trigger bring her back before or after Birthing Pod's ability resolves?

We have a post for rules questions, but the answer is that it comes back before you get the creature from the birthing pod. You pay the ability, the ability goes on the stack, then persist goes on the stack above the BP's ability.

we have a rules thread for stuff like this http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/025903.html

but i'll answer you here anyway.

you activate birthing pod, paying its costs (1G, tap, Sac a creature), and then put the ability on the stack.

Then, persist from archmage triggers, going on top of the stack.

Persist resolves first (last in, first out), bringing archmage back with a -1/-1 counter.

Finally, pod resolves, getting you a 5 drop.
