So i'm making this EDH deck Esper Proliferate EDH (hehe, cheap advertisement). And i was wondering, if for the purpose of Proliferate, life was considered as a counter?
No. Life is not a counter. Counter refers to +1/+1 counters, -1/-1 counters, or other counters created by specific cards (like "quest" counters on Quest for the Goblin Lord ).

Well i was confused about that, because i do hear the expession ''life counters'' and since infect is a counter placed on a player, maybe life wouldve been considered one too.
Thanks for the answers.

It can also refer to poison counters "on" a player.

"Life counters" don't exist. Life is simply a total.

Life counters do exist, in the form of things that count life totals, like spin down dice.
However, proliferate does not affect them, as stated.

Nope. Proliferate does not affect your life total.
