At the beginning of combat on your turn, target creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it gains menace until end of turn. (It can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

Exhaust — {5}: Put two +1/+1 counters on this creature. (Activate each exhaust ability only once.)

What it does

Tagged as +1/+1 counters — the jobs the deck report counts it toward.

Official rulings

  1. If an exhaust ability of a permanent is activated, and then that permanent leaves the battlefield and returns to the battlefield, it becomes a new object so its exhaust ability can be activated again. (2025-10-02)
  2. The creature you target must have a +1/+1 counter on it when the ability goes on the stack at the beginning of combat. You cannot put the counter on it in response. (2025-10-02)
  3. Exhaust abilities can be activated any time you could normally activate an ability. (2025-10-02)
  4. If an ability triggers whenever you activate an exhaust ability, that ability resolves before the exhaust ability resolves. (2025-10-02)
