If a Enchantment with counters (Ex: Nine Lives) is given to the opponent via cards like Harmless Offering, do the counters remain on the Enchantment?
Asked by KillerQueen98 3 years ago
I'm trying to build a Nine Lives deck centered around the enchantment itself, to make the card more efficient in winning the match for me, the counters would have to stay on the enchantment but i'm almost certain that the rules don't allow counters to transfer with an enchantment if the opponent gains control of it.

For future reference, you can surround a card's name with double brackets, "[", to link the card's image to the name (i.e. [ [ Harmless Offering ] ] without the spaces turns into Harmless Offering. This works sitewide.
To your question though, a permanent with counters does not lose those counters if someone else gains control of it through a Mind Control or Threaten type effect. In general, there are two ways a permanent can lose counters, effect removes them or that permanent leaves the battlefield.
Hope this helps!!
