Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2024-06-07
If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.
- 2024-06-07
You can always activate an ability that will cause a creature to adapt. As that ability resolves, if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it for any reason, you simply won't put any +1/+1 counters on it.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
