Hunger countera are a type of counter introduced in The Dark. They act as an upkeep counter for an enchantment related to the skipping of drawing cards.

Description

Healing counters first appeared on Fasting in The Dark as unnamed counters which were later errated into Hunger counters. The counters act as an upkeep tracker on the enchantment causing it to be destroyed once 5 counters are on it. This represents the Fasting ending due to the built-up hunger. The Hunger is the skipping of drawing cards as the enchantments get destroyed if any card is drawn. In exchange, it gives life each turn to the player
