Contested counter are a type of counter introduced in New Capenna Commander that allow for the change of ownership of lands among the players whenever one is dealt damage.

Description

Contested counters first appeared on Turf War in New Capenna Commander. This enchantment adds a contested counter on one land controlled by each player. Then, if a creature deals combat damage to a player who controls a land(s) with contested counters, the attacking creature's controller can steal one of those lands. These counters simulate gang fighting over a given piece of land and allow for them to shift control throughout the game whenever a player is damaged.
