Does a -1/-1 counter remove a +1/+1 counter in MTG?
Absolutely! In the mystical world of Magic The Gathering, when a -1/-1 counter is placed on a creature that already has a +1/+1 counter, they cancel each other out and both are removed. It's like matter meeting antimatter but for MTG counters. So, if your Glistener Elf is getting too beefy with +1/+1 counters and someone tries to shrink it with a -1/-1, they essentially neutralize one another.

Quick tip from personal experience: using -1/-1 counters strategically can completely disrupt your opponent's gameplay, especially if they rely heavily on +1/+1 counter strategies. It's not just about removal; it's a chess move!
Nope. They just vanish. If you put a -1/-1 on something that's got a +1/+1, they both disappear. Simple as that.
