About Contentious Plan

Contentious Plan, Sorcery, designed by Eric Deschamps first released in Apr, 2019 in the set War of the Spark. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.95.

A deck focused on +1/+1 counters or other types of counters would benefit from including Contentious Plan, as it provides a way to proliferate those counters and potentially strengthen your board state. However, there are better cards for this purpose such as Inexorable Tide, which proliferates every time you cast a spell, making it more efficient in decks looking to abuse counters. Whether Contentious Plan sees play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck, but it could be a valuable inclusion in the right build.

Rules

03/19/21

If a permanent has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, they’re removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.

03/19/21

You don’t have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since “any number” includes zero, you don’t have to choose any permanents at all, and you don’t have to choose any players at all.

05/03/19

If a spell or ability puts counters on a player or permanent and then instructs you to proliferate, choosing that player or permanent will give that player or permanent another of those counters.

05/03/19

The War of the Spark set doesn’t include any ways for players to have counters, but some cards in other sets say that a player “gets” a counter of a certain kind. Notably, emblems aren’t counters.
