could you, in reponse for him playing drain power simply tap your lands adding mana to your pool and don't spend it causing mana burn to yourself instead of giving mana to your opponent?
If you play the Mercy Killing in reponse to the trigger from Briathorn CITP abillity when stack resolves Mercy Killing will make you sacrifice him before he gets pumped.
This way the pumping abillity would just get fizzled.
No with such combo you'll deal only 1 damage a turn since at the beggning of the turn mirror's abillity goes into stack checking if there are any reflections, thus there can naver be more than one.
you can't even PtE him in reponse bacause he'd alredy been sacrificed so there is no longer a Moog Fanatic for you to PtE you see?
in case you PtE him and then he sacrifice the Mogg in reponse your PtE would be countered due the lack of all targets upon it's resolution , and yes he would still cause the 1 damage
sacrificing is a cost so when you try to PtE him he's alredy gone = /
The best you could do would be Stifle" target="blank">Stifle his abillity and prevent it to deal 1 damage to something but he would still be sacrificed
In that case Infest doesn't put -1/-1 counters but if a creature 2/2 with persist dies form a creature with 2/3 wither for instance the persist wont trigger.
The same would happen if -1/-1 counters were to be put on a creature with persist by any means.
It seems like City of Brass is the only viable option to match this artwork

once the ability resolved none of the situations stated will give back your creature
