Support is a keyword action introduced in Oath of the Gatewatch that boosts your (or your teammates') creatures with +1/+1 counters.[2] It was also used in Battlebond.[3][4]
Description
"Support N" means "Put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to N target creatures." You may choose fewer targets at will.
If a creature (or any other permanent) has an ability that supports, the ability can't target the creature / permanent itself.
You cannot put the +1/+1 counters on one creature. If it is support 3, you have to put a +1/+1 counter on one creature, then another one, then another. It has to be different creatures for each +1/+1 counter
Rules
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- 701.35. Support
- 701.35a “Support N” on a permanent means “Put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to N other target creatures.” “Support N” on an instant or sorcery spell means “Put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to N target creatures.”
Rulings
- You can’t put more than one +1/+1 counter on any one target using the support action.
- Support can target a creature you don’t control.
- If a spell with support has other abilities that target creatures, those abilities and the support ability can target the same creature.

Whenever a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it dies, you gain 2 life.
