Outlast is a keyworded activated ability that was introduced as the clan-specific mechanic for the Abzan Houses in Khans of Tarkir.

Description

Outlast grants a +1/+1 counter on the creature for a cost, but it may also trigger other abilities.

The mechanic made a small reappearance in Modern Horizons.[2]

Rules

From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

Outlast
A keyword ability that allows a creature to grow larger over time. See rule 702.107, “Outlast.”

From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

  • 702.107. Outlast
    • 702.107a Outlast is an activated ability. “Outlast [cost]” means “[Cost], {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Activate only as a sorcery.”

Rulings

  • The cost to activate a creature's outlast ability includes the tap symbol ({T}). A creature's outlast ability can't be activated unless that creature has been under your control continuously since the beginning of your turn.
  • Several creatures with outlast also grant an ability to creatures you control with +1/+1 counters on them, including themselves. These counters could come from an outlast ability, but any +1/+1 counter on the creature will count.

Examples

Example

Herald of Anafenza {W}
Creature — Human Soldier
1/2
Outlast {2}{W} ({2}{W}, {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Outlast only as a sorcery.)
Whenever you activate Herald of Anafenza's outlast ability, put a 1/1 white Warrior creature token onto the battlefield.
