Spinal Parasite, Artifact creature — insect, designed by Cyril Van Der Haegen first released in Jun, 2004 in the set Fifth Dawn.
Spinal Parasite could be beneficial in a deck that focuses on mana ramp and color diversity, such as a five-color deck or a deck that utilizes various mana-fixing cards. While its ability to remove counters from target permanents can be versatile, there are potentially more efficient options available, such as Vampire Hexmage for counter removal or other artifact creatures with more impactful abilities. Overall, Spinal Parasite may not see widespread play in competitive decks but could find a niche in specific strategies that value its unique interactions.

Any permanent is a legal target for Spinal Parasite’s ability, not just one with a counter on it. The player who controls Spinal Parasite chooses which counter to remove from the targeted permanent.

Yes, this card’s base power/toughness is -1/-1. If it has five +1/+1 counters on it, it’s a 4/4 creature.
