  2. Activate Extruder by sacrificing Cauldron of Souls, putting a +1/+1 counter on Gerrard.
  3. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Gerrard.
  4. When Gerrard dies, it and its persist ability trigger.
  5. Resolve the Gerrard persist trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
