Why is this card good?

Ozolith, the Shattered Spire is a low-cost counters multiplier that punches above its 2-mana price tag. The replacement effect stacks with itself across every counter-adding source you control, so each individual counter event gets +1. In a deck built around proliferate, +1/+1 counter synergies, or repeatable counter placement, that adds up fast — and unlike Hardened Scales, it also buffs artifacts. It's an auto-include in dedicated +1/+1 counters decks: think Hamza, Pir/Toothy, Ghave, the Abzan/Selesnya counters shells, or anything leaning on Doubling Season-style effects (it stacks with all of them). The artifact clause gives it niche upside in counter-matters artifact builds. The flexibility is the selling point: when you draw it in a slow spot or it's a dead multiplier with no counters online, just cycle it for {2}. That floor makes it nearly riskless to run. Don't play it outside counter-centric decks — a single +1 per event does nothing if you're not generating counters in volume.

    However, if Ozolith, the Shattered Spire somehow enters the battlefield with +1/+1 counters it, its first ability won't apply to itself.

  • 2023-04-14

    If another artifact or creature you control would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with that many plus one instead.

    If two or more effects attempt to modify how many counters would be put onto a permanent you control, you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.

  • 2023-04-14

    If you somehow control two copies of Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, the number of +1/+1 counters put on an artifact or creature you control is two plus the original number. Three Ozoliths add three, and so on.
