Valor counters are a type of counter introduced in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. They give all creatures under the player's control +1/+1.

Description

Valor counters first appeared on the Intrepid Adversary in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. The card is the white constituent of the Adversary cycle, each of which has a functional "multikicker" cost that gives +1/+1 counters to the creature and another effect for each payment. White's effect was chosen to be a continuous team pump for each payment, but this had tracking issues if it was based on the +1/+1 counters, as they are easily manipulated. Thus, the effect was changed to use Valor counters and the team pump effect was changed from "other creatures you control..." to "creatures you control...".
