Do plus one and minus one counters cancel each other in MTG?
Actually, they do cancel out. It's part of the game's rules to keep things balanced. Imagine having a creature beefed up with +1/+1 counters and then someone tries to nerf it with -1/-1 counters, they naturally neutralize each other. Magic The Gathering's rulebook is pretty clear on this!

Nah, they totally don't. Just kidding, they do! Magic The Gathering rules say +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters annihilate each other on sight. It's like they're archenemies or something. So if you're planning some sneaky moves with counters, remember this little tidbit!
Yep, in Magic The Gathering, plus one (+1/+1) counters and minus one (-1/-1) counters do cancel each other out. If a creature has both types of counters on it, you remove them in pairs. So if your creature had 3 +1/+1 counters and 2 -1/-1 counters, you'd take away 2 of each, leaving it with just 1 +1/+1 counter. It's like math with extra steps and magic!
