Looking for Anti -1/-1 counter cards

Deck Help forum

Posted on July 18, 2017, 6:34 p.m. by MTGStevieD

I have a friend that has a deck that is based around placing -1/-1 counters on creatures. I'm looking for cards similar to Melira, Sylvok Outcast, anyone know of any other cards that prevent -1/-1 counters from being placed on your creatures?

Hapatra's Mark, Vizier of Remedies, Vampire Hexmage are a few options. Anything with Undying will not be able to die permanently if you have -1/-1 counters on it. But you might just be better off beating him/her before they can put any counters of any kind on your creatures, or by using Cancel and the like to prevent those spells from resolving.

You might wat to create a deck that focuses less on creatures and more on other things like instants and sorceries or artifact or planeswalkers, enter the battlefield effects, etc

Your friend would not like it when you directly counter his deck.
This way you create a toxic community in your playgroup.

Unless ofcourse if everyone is very competitive and you want to sideboard these anti -1/-1 cards in.

LevahnTaupe do you know the ruling on that card? Like does it affect you from putting +1 counters on yourself since it's worded "players"

Yes, solemnity affects you too. If you want to know all the ruling on Solemnity search gatherer/solemnity
