You may choose a value for X that’s greater than the number of counters on the targeted permanent. However, Hex Parasite only gets the bonus for counters actually removed.
- 2011-06-01
If the permanent has multiple kinds of counters, you choose how many of each to remove when the ability resolves.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
