Would be great synergy with Restoration Angel if you can force alter her subtype.

"If two of these, under one player's control, die at the same time do both come back into play or would one return the other to your hand?? My dad plays these and were not sure."

Both angels will return to the battlefield at the same time, then both triggers will stack. Neither angel could be affected by the triggers because neither are cards in your graveyard at the time the trigger resolves.

If she dies, say to WoG, then comes back due to persist, could you then sacrifice her (or otherwise kill her) while her EtB is on the stack, putting her back in your graveyard in time to return her to your hand (thus allowing her to be played again w/o the -1/-1 counter)?

This + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed = a real fun time

play with cathar's crusade for unkillable, ever growing creatures. the -1/-1 counters and +1/+1 counters remove each other so persist always works.

For those not getting it, the idea is that she's already on the board. THEN you Wrath of God.
I.E. T7 (or w/e) you attack, some stuff dies and you do damage. You Wrath the board. Your stuff goes back to your hand, she comes back to the field. You have both field advantage and *likely* massive card advantage.
If you have instant-speed reanimator tricks you could keep her in hand for an opponent to wrath the board, then use Shallow Grave on her (by discarding her to the top of the pile via some outlet) and get your stuff back. That is.. however.. far more conditional.

@ unerasablesin and antivitamin
I think the question is about what how the stack works, and the reading of persist. Persist triggers when a creature with persist "dies" (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield.) So say somebody casts Wrath of God and you have two Twilight Shepherds on the battlefield.
Step one; everyone hits the yard.
Step two; each shepherds instance of persist goes on the stack
step three (provided there are no interventions); first instance of persist resolves, causing one shepherd to return to the battlefield.
step four; the angel's ETB effect goes on the stack above the remaining persist ability,
step five; the etb ability resolves returning all creature cards put into your graveyard this turn to your hand,
step six; persist ability resolves, but since the remaining twilight shepherd is in your hand not the graveyard the ability fizzles.

Combos with a lot of edh utility cards like Armillary Sphere, Relic of Progenitus, Sakura-Tribe Elder, even something like strip mine or ghost quarter or fetches. If you ultimate and kill a plains-walker, you can get it back. Not only that but if you trade up in combat, you get to you just get to refill your hand post-combat and then it blanks the next sweeper they have.
very solid card
4/5

She's making Archangel look pathetic in comparison. Not that it was all that hard to do, but still...
