Question about Undying and creature bonuses

Asked by clharley 7 years ago

Geralf's Messenger has undying. Lets say Lord of the Undead gives it +1/+1, is this the same as a +1/+1 counter? And therefore it wouldn't come back to the battlefield if it dies?

They are not the same. A +1/+1 counter is exactly that, a counter. It's something generally marked on the card with a chip, die, or some other form of keeping track. Static buffs are not the same, and the only way to put +1/+1 counters on something is to use an effect that specifically states it gives +1/+1 counters, such a Common Bond.
