: Put a copy of that artifact onto the battlefield with X counters on it of the type on the sacrificed artifact, where X is equal to the number of counters on the original +1.
This is very confusing to read (even I had trouble writing it).
Why isn't this just:
>
: Put a counter on target artifact of a kind that's already on that artifact.
(Alternate wording:)
>
: Choose target artifact with at least one counter on it. Put another counter of a kind already there on that artifact.
Well, this way has flavour (possibly not enough to justify the complexity) and triggers artifact destruction and etb triggers (which is a big thing) and also clears off other auras, attachments (even other forms of counter, if that has somehow happened)... But yeah, 99% of the time Alex' wording will work out the same. (Assuming Alex adds "You control")
Vitkenka hit all the points on the head.
