Gameplay and rules
Creature — Insect Mutant
Flying
This creature enters with five +1/+1 counters on it.
If damage would be dealt to this creature while it has a +1/+1 counter on it, prevent that damage, remove that many +1/+1 counters from it, then give each player a rad counter for each +1/+1 counter removed this way.

Rulings (9)
wotc8 Mar 2024
Any effects (such as proliferate) that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with rad counters.
wotc8 Mar 2024
Rad counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
wotc8 Mar 2024
If damage that can't be prevented is dealt to Bloatfly Swarm, you still remove that many +1/+1 counters from it, and you still give each player a rad counter for each +1/+1 counter removed this way.
wotc8 Mar 2024
In a game using the shared team turns option, such as an Archenemy or Two-Headed Giant game, the inherent triggered ability associated with rad counters triggers once for each player on the active team that has rad counters. Each instance of that ability is controlled by one of those players.
wotc8 Mar 2024
The cards are milled all at once, which means abilities that trigger "whenever one or more nonland cards are milled" will trigger exactly once as long as at least one nonland card was milled.
wotc8 Mar 2024
Rad counters don't go away as steps, phases, or turns end. They only go away when an effect instructs a player to remove rad counters from themselves.
