Modular
Modular is a keyword ability that allows artifact creatures to come into play with a number of +1/+1 counters, and put those counters on another artifact creature when the creature goes to a graveyard. Modular was printed on cards in the 2004 sets Darksteel and Fifth Dawn.
From the Comprehensive Rules:
- 502.35. Modular
- 502.35a Modular represents both a static ability and a triggered ability. “Modular N” means “This permanent comes into play with N +1/+1 counters on it” and “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from play, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact creature for each +1/+1 counter on this permanent.”
- 502.35b If a creature has multiple instances of modular, each one works separately.
