Is incorrect.

That's amazing

You don't think Marionette Master should get a +3/+3 counter? ...Fine, I'll fix it :)

As with most mechanics with a numeric parameter, now there are two versions, "Fabricate1" and "Fabricate [N]".

I guess trying to automate it, would end up with +a/+a counters.

The slight issue is that making it a variable leads to "put one counter" instead of "put a counter." MSE is smart enough to correct for that, but I can understand Alex not wanting to spend the time writing that code

In this case the reminder text is pretty close, but in some cases (such as Scry 1 vs Scry >1) the reminder text is massively divergent, far more so than just some PLURALISE(N, "+1/+1 counter") algorithm would handle. So it makes sense to have the 1 / N versions for some mechanics, at which point I think it makes sense to have them for all numeric mechanics.
