How to use energy counters in MTG
Energy counters in MTG are a type of resource you get from various card effects. Think of them as a bank of resources you can spend for different effects, like powering up creatures or activating abilities. The cool part? The counters aren't tied to the card that gave them to you. So, you can gain energy from one card and use it on an entirely different card's ability that requires energy. Managing your energy counters effectively can really turn the game in your favor!

TBH, energy counters are overrated. Just focus on dealing direct damage. Much simpler.
Just slap those energy counters on anything that asks for them. Honestly, it's like using tokens at an arcade; you get them from one game, and you can use them to play another. No fuss, just keep track of how many you have and spend them wisely!
Pro tip from someone who's been there: Don't hoard your energy counters. It's tempting to save them up for a big play, but using them as you go to maintain momentum and control the board can be way more effective. Also, make sure to have a mix of cards that generate energy and cards that use energy for a balanced approach.
