Does Ethereal Armour keep adding counters?
Asked by jenwhite76 10 years ago
Does Ethereal Armor continue adding counters for each enchantment that I control after it enters the battlefield or is it a one-time thing?
Ethereal Armor won't place any counters, it will give the enchanted creature +1/+1 for each enchantment you control (including Ethereal Armor) at the time, so if you control 3 enchantments, the enchanted creature has +3/+3 - if one of them gets destroyed, it's only +2/+2.

Because it doesn't say it sets itself to a particular value at a certain time, the size of the effect constantly updates itself as the number of enchantments you control changes.
An effect only uses counters if it specifically says so, which can matter for certain card interactions. Ethereal Armor just gives a static +N/+N bonus.
