Surge node and counters?
Asked by Aukiiraa 12 years ago
Can surge node add counters to cards like Pentavus and ever flowing chalice? And for pentavus, I can remove these counters for tokens? And jar of eyeballs too?
A card like Contagion Engine will be able to fuel all your counter based artifacts. This is because the Contagion Engine doesn't add specific counters, rather another counter of a kind already there.

Like Dallie said, there are other options for getting counters on any of your artifacts without having to worry about what kind. Anything with Proliferate (Contagion Engine and Contagion Clasp are two good options in artifacts), as well as creatures like Gilder Bairn and the new Simic champion Vorel of the Hull Clade.
But otherwise, yes, the type of counter does matter.

Surge Node can put charge counters on all three artifacts. However, those counters can only be used by Everflowing Chalice (or any other artifact that specifically uses charge counters, like Sphinx-Bone Wand ). Since Pentavus uses +1/+1 counters and Jar of Eyeballs uses eyeball counters, they can't make use of the charge counters from Surge Node .
