Do counters follow when creatures change controllers in MTG?
Simple answer: Yes. If you take control of someone else’s creature, all the counters that were on it come with it. It’s like inheriting a pet with all its fleas.

Yep, they sure do! When a creature changes controllers in Magic The Gathering, any counters on it (like +1/+1 counters or -1/-1 counters) stay on the creature. Think of counters as very sticky - no matter where the creature goes, those counters are going along for the ride!
Nope, think of it this way: the counters are part of the creature now. They don't shake off just because the creature decides to switch sides.
