Rulings
- : If this card is going to take damage from a black source, you can choose to apply Protection from Black's damage prevention ability prior to applying this card's built-in ability. This means you don't have to remove a counter.
- : If damage that would be dealt to this creature can't be prevented, the damage is dealt and a +1/+1 counter is removed from this creature.
- : If this creature would be dealt damage from multiple sources at the same time (say, because it's blocked by multiple creatures), all of the damage is prevented and only one +1/+1 counter is removed.
- : If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it (but is still on the battlefield because something else is raising its toughness), damage that would be dealt to it is still prevented.
