Battle Counter Tracking

New • 05 Oct 2023 • Asked by cursedereaper • 22 Comments

Hey Mark, another battle question. Can battles design wise tack who removed a counters from them? Even if the player used Aether Snap or Render Inert?

I don’t believe so.

Can a card like Aether Snap remove experience counters from a player? Does a player count as "a permanent"?

Nope.

Hey Mark, I know you like doubling counters, but can you make counter hate cards?

We do. It’s part of black’s color pie. Things like Vampire Hexmage and Aether Snap.

Black's Counter Removal

New • 12 Jan 2013 • Asked by mediorca • 17 Comments

Why is "remove all counters" (Aether Snap and Vampire Hexmage) a black effect? It feels like blue and green like to play with counters the most, and I can spout off a few flavor justifications for white and red, but I'm drawing a blank when I think about why the effect has only shown up in black.

Green likes to generate them and blue enjoys moving them. We figured someone ought to be able to get rid of them and black ended up getting the slot. Think of it as black’s love of killing things.

Countering Poison

My brother came up with an interesting way to counter poison, however we're not exactly sure if it works they way we think it does. With AEther Snap, the card states: "Remove all counters from all permanents and remove all tokens from the game", so would that include Poison counters?

Unfortunately no as players are not “permanents” in the rules.
