Do Planeswalkers Keep Loyalty Counters if They Change Controller in MTG?
Absolutely, planeswalkers keep their loyalty counters even if they change controllers. Think of it this way: if a planeswalker decides to join your team mid-game, they're not going to forget all their experiences (aka loyalty counters) just because they're hanging out with a new friend. They bring all their baggage with them!

Short answer: Yes. Loyalty counters stay put on a planeswalker regardless of who's controlling them. No restarts or resets here!
Nah, think about it like this: If you're in the middle of a game and someone manages to snag control of your planeswalker, those counters don't just vanish. They stay on, and now you've got to deal with a fully-loaded, traitorous planeswalker.
Yes, they do. But honestly, it's kinda rare to flip control of planeswalkers in most games. Still, when it happens, those loyalty counters stay loyal to the planeswalker, not the player.
