Charge counter

Charge counters are the third most common counter type in Magic, and serve as the default counter for noncreature permanents. They were introduced on the Ice Age cards <c>Ice Cauldron</c> and <c>Jeweled Amulet</c>, though they also have been retroactively applied to the Legends cycle.
==Description==
While charge counters are the default choice, many other counter types exist. Charge counters are one of the few types that are mechanically referenced on other cards, whereas other types are given distinct names for the sake of flavor.
Charge counters are considered to be deciduous.
==Mechanics==
Despite their frequency, charge counters have only been used by a single keyworded mechanic.

==Trivia==
*In Magic Online, the counter is colored green as its considered a positive effect and shares its icon with Crystal and Gem counters.
* The designed-for-digital <c>Static Discharge</c> originally used perpetual charge counters to track the additional damage it dealt but was given errata to use the Intensity mechanic when the latter was introduced in Alchemy: Kamigawa.
