Reprieve counters are a type of counter introduced in Jumpstart 2022. They can be used to return creatures to the battlefield on their death. This represents them getting a reprieve from death.
Description[ | ]
Reprieve counters first appeared on the Magnanimous Magistrate in Jumpstart 2022. Five reprieve counters are added to the creature when it enters the battlefield. These counters can be removed on a non-token creature’s death to return it to the battlefield if the number removed is equivalent to its mana cost. The creature must have a mana value of 1 or greater else the counters and effect cannot be used.
Trivia[ | ]
- A Reprieve means to cancel or postpone the punishment of someone, especially someone condemned to death.
