MTG Named Counters: The List!

Post by victorcamp » Mon Oct 09, 2006 5:08 am

Maybe I've got too much time on my hands, or it's just because I'm obsessive, but I wanted to catalog all the different named counters (not tokens) listed on Magic cards.

For example: Poison Counter, Fade Counter, +1/+1 Counter, etc.

This is for all English sets, including both the Un's. It's for unique names; e.g., Age Counter appears once on the list. If the card says, "use counters", and they don't name it, I don't count it.

Some cards use a word only once among several reprints; e.g, Corpse Counter is only on the 4E Scavenging Ghoul.

I've got my list, and I was surprised! I'll wait a few days, then list what I found.
