What Are Rad Counters?

The Radiation card is used to track rad counters.

For each nonland card milled this way, you lose 1 life and a rad counter.

Soif you have two rad counters, you’ll need to mill two cards.

Several creatures, includingThe Wise Mothman, distribute rad counters when they enter the battlefield.

The Wise Mothman, Feral Ghoul, Radstorm

Tato Farmer can recur milled lands onto the battlefield under your control, even from your opponent’s graveyard.

Finally, it is possible toprevent rad counters from being placed on youin the first place.

Solemnity prevents counters from being placed on players and most permanents, effectively neutralizing both radiation and poison strategies.
