Title: Counters on dead creatures
Post by: Gabriel Gusso on October 14, 2013, 09:10:56 PM
When a creature dies with +1\+1 counters on it, by the moment it reaches the graveyard, may i move that counter to a living creature? (on the battlefield). I know it is a noob question... Its my first

When the creature is targeted with the spell, declared as a blocker or declared blocked you can in response move the counters to another creature but if the creature is in the graveyard the counters cease to exist.

So when I bring a creature from my graveyard back to the battlefield its counters are gone? (except when regenerating)

I have no idea what you're talking about. Counters can never be moved unless specifically told so.  {Bioshift} is an example. Counters stay on the same creature unless you have a spell similar to that. Counters that are on dead creatures cease to exist like tokens.

I assumed he knew you can't just move them whenever he wants to and was using something like {Bioshift} or {Simic Fluxmage}
