Card rulings 6
  1. To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.
  2. You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.
  3. If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.
  4. An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.
  5. Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.
  6. If a permanent ever has both +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it at the same time, they're removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.

Updated

Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus doubles your proliferate actions, giving blue counter decks two proliferations whenever they would normally perform one. Each proliferation is a separate event, allowing existing loyalty, charge, +1/+1, poison, and other counters to advance more quickly. The flying body adds a defensive and offensive presence while the replacement effect improves the deck's counter engines.

Evolution Sage in a blue-green deck turns land entries into repeated proliferation, while Flux Channeler can reward noncreature spells in a spell-heavy build. Planeswalker decks can use the additional loyalty counters to reach useful activations sooner. The two proliferations do not have to choose exactly the same permanents or players, giving you flexibility when some counters are helpful and others are not.

Tekuthal can gain an indestructible counter by paying its activation cost and removing three counters from among other artifacts, creatures, and planeswalkers you control. Those removed counters are a real cost, so use counters that are expendable or can be rebuilt. Counters on Tekuthal itself cannot pay that particular removal requirement.

Proliferate cannot place the first counter of a new kind on an object that does not already have it. The deck therefore needs ways to establish useful counters before Tekuthal amplifies them. Indestructible also leaves exile, bounce, and sacrifice answers available. Build a counter engine that remains functional without the Dominus, then use its doubling effect to accelerate an already productive board.
