MAX_COUNTER_VALUE

int MAX_COUNTER_VALUE = 999

constexpr

Upper bound for a bounded counter's value: [0, MAX_COUNTER_VALUE].

Caps an individual counter's VALUE (e.g. a +1/+1 counter at 999), not how many counters something holds. Applies to counters that are constrained to a non-negative display range, such as card counters and commander tax. Unbounded counters (e.g. a player's life total) do not use this limit and may go negative, saturating only at the int range.

The max of 999 is a display constraint (3-digit rendering) and a reasonable gameplay limit. The server enforces these bounds; the client may also check them for UX optimization.
