Official rulings

The 8 most recent official rulings for The Master, Transcendent, newest first.

  • Any effects (such as proliferate) that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with rad counters.
  • Effects that modify a creature's power and/or toughness will still apply to the creature as normal. The same is true for any counters that change its power and/or toughness.
  • If a player has fewer cards remaining in their library than the number of rad counters they have when the triggered ability resolves, they'll mill as many cards as they can.
  • If a player is instructed to put a card into their graveyard from their library without using the word "mill," (by the effect of Rowan's Grim Search from Wilds of Eldraine®, for example), that card isn't a legal target for The Master's last ability.
  • In a game using the shared team turns option, such as an Archenemy or Two-Headed Giant game, the inherent triggered ability associated with rad counters triggers once for each player on the active team that has rad counters. Each instance of that ability is controlled by one of those players.
  • Keep track of how many rad counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing them down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine.
  • Rad counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
  • Rad counters don't go away as steps, phases, or turns end. They only go away when an effect instructs a player to remove rad counters from themselves.
