Modular
From MTG Salvation Wiki
Modular is a keyword ability that allows artifact creatures to come into play with a number of +1/+1 counters, and put those counters on another artifact creature when the creature goes to a graveyard. Modular appeared in Darksteel and Fifth Dawn. So far the only creatures to appear with Modular also have "Arcbound" in the title.
From the Comprehensive Rules (as of Magic 2010)
- 702.41. Modular
- 702.41a Modular represents both a static ability and a triggered ability. “Modular N” means “This permanent enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it” and “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact creature for each +1/+1 counter on this permanent.”
- 702.41b If a creature has multiple instances of modular, each one works separately.

[edit] Rulings
- If an Arcbound creature gets enough -1/-1 counters to make its toughness 0 or cause the damage on it to now be lethal, the Modular ability will still give another artifact creature a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the number the Arcbound creature had before it got -1/-1 counters.
- For the comes-into-play ability, the number of counters the permanent gets is equal to the number that follows "modular" on the card.
- For the leaves-play ability, the number of counters on the permanent at the time it left play is what's relevant; the number after "modular" doesn't matter.
- When a creature with modular leaves play, you may put the counters onto a single target artifact creature. You can't split them among two or more artifact creatures.
[edit] Reminder text
The latest reminder text for modular reads "This comes into play with N +1/+1 counters on it. When it's put into a graveyard, you may put its +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature."
