Truename

Truename monsters are an archetype created by User:Chaos josh, introduced in Tome of Magic. They rely on specific counters, called Truename Counters, that are created by activating cards from a players hand. These counters can be used for specific cards, or just kept on a monster until they are destroyed (Similar to Spell Counters).

Truename Counters
All Truename Monsters are able to collect Truename Counters by having cards activated from a players hands. All Truename counters follow these rules:
 * Only 1 Truename Counter is added per card.
 * You place a Truename Counter on this card when the Targeted Card resolves, so if "Magic Jammer" is used to negate a Spell Card's activation from a player's hand then you do not place a Truename Counter on this monster. But if "Imperial Order" is chained to the Spell Card, you still place a Truename Counter on this monster because the activation of the Spell Card was not negated. If the selected Card was a Monster Card, and "Trap Hole" is chained to its activation and destroys it before it resolves you still place a Truename Counter because the activation of the card was not negated.
 * Truename Monsters do get a Truename Counter when they are originally played from the hand.
