Yeah, so a while ago a discussion started over my damage counter deck (BEG for mercy). Since I haven't heard a moderator about this yet, I would like to present the main issue here, hopefully for a final answer.
Let's say I start with Shuppet, Ascend, and next turn use Banette SW's first attack (and try to place some damage counters on them both). By that time, my opponent has a Water and a Holon WP attached. Of course, the question is, are damage counters considered to be "a special irresistible sort of" damage or not? If not, does this mean Holon WP blocks all attacks that inflict damage counters rather than real damage?
(My next deck relies on the outcome of this, so please don't say anything if you aren't sure.)
