If i Mind Control a creature do i gain control of it plus any counters it has?
Asked by supernick 14 years ago
if my opponent buffs a Silver Myr with Energy Chamber to an 8/8, if i Mind Control it does it get the counters with it?
but u wont gain control of enchantments, equipments, or anything else attached to the creature, bc u didnt cast those.

You don't have control of other permanents affecting the creature you take, yes, but they are still equipping/enchanting that creature. Until your opponent re-equips or ditches the aura somehow your stolen creature will still be affected by it. Counters are part of the creature's state, once put on they remain on until removed by some other means. Change of control does not do that =)

and whenever you gain control of creature with Mind Control , and it was equipped with an artifact, for example if Kor Duelist was equipped with Argentum Armor , and you played Mind Control , you'd get Kor Duelist with Argentum Armor still equipped to it.
your opponent still has the right to unattach their equipment though.

it always happens whenever im going to do something they dont like, they tell me it cant be done. i build a deck, they say it has only this win con or that win con, then i pull off 15 different ways to win and i "get lucky". they tell me my darksteel angel deck only wins from the angel, but i still whoop ass. i built a total bs 120 card u/w creature control deck with 2 vensers, they say its crap but it ALWAYS wins.

Lol, @Jarrod_0067 thanks for pointing that out. Now I think I need to play with that combo a bit.

Of course. It would be intellectual theft if I didn't.

Thanks. I'm glad I did something right for a change. Also works well with Pacifism and Eldrazi Conscription too. Block the big guy, then switch the aura to the unblocked creature

So if my opponent has Staunch-Hearted Warrior and I take control of it with Mind Control then does a. the creature get 2 +1/+1 counters on it from me taking control of it? and b. if i play something like Giant Growth while it is in my control will it get additional +1/+1s from its abilities?
