Does a +1 +1 counter remove a counter?

Yes, in Magic: The Gathering, a -1/-1 counter (minus-one-minus-one) will cancel out a +1/+1 counter (plus-one-plus-one) by removing one of each as a state-based action, but they don't remove other types of counters, only their direct opposite, making them a powerful removal mechanic. This interaction is key for cards with abilities like Persist and Undying, as it effectively negates the counter they bring, but it's tricky, as the creature might still die if its toughness drops to zero before the counters are removed.

Is +1 +1 considered a counter?

yes. "Gets +1/+1" is some continuous effect that only lasts as long as the card that gives it specifies ("until end of turn" for example, or when the effect leaves the battlefield). +1/+1 counters are permanent on whatever they are put on.

Can you counterspell a counterspell?

Yes, in Dungeons & Dragons, you can absolutely counter a Counterspell with another Counterspell, creating a tense chain reaction, provided you have your reaction and a spell slot available; the spell that resolves first (usually the last one cast) stops the previous one, making it a "spell on the stack" battle where each caster uses their reaction to interrupt the next. However, newer rules in 2024/2025 for D&D limit casting leveled spells with a reaction after using a bonus action spell, making it harder but not impossible, especially for different characters or monsters with unique abilities.

Does moving a counter trigger doubling season?

Yes, moving counters in Magic: The Gathering does trigger Doubling Season because the game rules treat "moving" a counter as removing it from one permanent and "putting" it onto another, and Doubling Season replaces the "putting" event with a doubled amount. Effects like Nesting Grounds or Bioshift that move counters work perfectly with Doubling Season for massive counter multiplication.

Does 0 still count as combat damage?

No, dealing 0 damage in <<!Magic: The Gathering (MTG)>> or similar games does not count as dealing combat damage; it's treated as if no damage was dealt at all, so abilities triggering on damage being dealt won't activate, even if an attack occurred. While an attack happens and a creature might assign combat damage, if that amount is zero (due to low power or damage prevention), the game rules treat it as a non-event for damage-triggered effects.

Can you block with a 0 0 creature?

Yes, a 0/0 creature can be declared as a blocker in the Declare Blockers step if it's on the battlefield, but it will die immediately (put into the graveyard) as a state-based action because it has 0 toughness, meaning it won't deal any combat damage and effectively doesn't exist in combat. Its ability to block only matters for how the attacker is blocked (e.g., an attacker with trample still sends all damage through), not for the blocker surviving or dealing damage.
