Despair counter

Despair counters are a type of counter introduced in Avacyn Restored. They act as an upkeep tracker for an exile effect for each player.
==Description==
Despair counters first appeared on <c>Descent into Madness</c> in Avacyn Restored. Each turn at the player's upkeep a counter is added to the enchantment which then causes each player to exile a permanent they control or a card in their hand for the number of counters on it. This represents increasing despair for the player as they descend into further madness from the enchantment.
==Trivia==
*In Magic Online, the counter is colored green as its considered a positive effect. It shares an icon with Corruption, Death, Doom, Mannequin, Paralyzation, Petrification and Soul counters.
