Rules for this card

  • Proliferate Rule 701.34 Glossary

    To give an additional counter to any number of players and/or permanents of each kind they already have. See rule 701.34, “Proliferate.”

Rulings (6)

  • Wizards of the Coast
    If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can’t have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it’s too late for anyone to respond.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    You can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can’t choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Some spells and abilities that cause you to proliferate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. You won’t proliferate.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    You don’t have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter—only the ones you want to add counters to. Since “any number” includes zero, you don’t have to choose any permanents at all, and you don’t have to choose any players at all.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    The set of permanents affected by Mutational Advantage is determined at the time Mutational Advantage resolves. Permanents that gain counters later in the turn won’t become affected by this effect, and permanents that lose all of their counters later in the turn won’t stop being affected.
