Adapt is a keyword action introduced in Ravnica Allegiance for the Simic Combine.[1][2]
Description
Adapt is tweaked version of Monstrosity.[3] It is written as Adapt N, where N is any natural number. If a creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, you may pay the adapt cost to put N +1/+1 counters on that creature. In contrast to Monstrosity, if a creature somehow loses its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and pick up more.[4][5] Alternatively one can place counters in response to the activation to stop the creature from getting N counters.
History
Because of its fitting flavor, Adapt was reused in Universes Beyond: Transformers. It also appeared in Modern Horizons 3.
Rules
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- Adapt
- A keyword action that puts +1/+1 counters on a creature that doesn’t have any yet. See rule 701.43, “Adapt.”
From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- 701.43. Adapt
- 701.43a “Adapt N” means “If this permanent has no +1/+1 counters on it, put N +1/+1 counters on it.”
Rulings
- 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.
- If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.
Example
Example
Aeromunculus 
Creature — Homunculus Mutant
