Understanding the Deck Interactions
Opalescence & Parallax Wave:
With both Opalescence and Parallax Wave on the battlefield Parallax Wave is a 4/4 creature.
Parallax Wave can target itself with its own exile ability this will exile Parallax Wave. When Parallax Wave exiles itself it triggers it’s own exit the battlefield clause and returns itself and all of the other exiled creatures exiled by Parallax Wave to the battlefield. This will reset the Fading counters to 5.
Opalescence & Parallax Wave: Infinite Creature Exile Combo [Holding Priority & the Stack]
If you target an opposing creature with Parallax Wave, hold priority then target Parallax Wave the stack will look like below:
Top
[Parallax Wave Exile Trigger – Targeting Parallax Wave]
[Parallax Wave Exile Trigger – Opponent’s creature]
Bottom
The stack will resolve top to bottom and start with the exile ability targeting Parallax Wave. This will then trigger Parallax Wave’s Exit the battle field trigger. The stack will then look like below
Top
[Parallax Wave Return to Battlefield Trigger]
[Parallax Wave Exile Trigger – Opponent’s creature]
Bottom
Parallax Wave will then return to the battlefield with a fresh set of 5 counters on it. In the Game of Magic this is treated as a new object, and no longer has any relation to the exile trigger remaining on the stack. Then the stack will look like follows
Top
[Parallax Wave Exile Trigger – Opponent’s creature]
Bottom
This will exile the opponent’s creature indefinitely as there will be no exit the battle field trigger from the Parallax Wave that exiled the creature since that copy has already left the battlefield. This can be repeated indefinitely.
