Exhaust
MTG Mechanic
Exhaust abilities can have all sorts of effects. Not all of them involve +1/+1 counters, and a few of them aren't even on creatures! They usually have an easy way to remember that they've been activated, though, whether that's putting a counter on the permanent with the ability or creating a tricked-out token. If a permanent with an exhaust ability that's already been activated leaves the battlefield and then returns, it's a new object with a new instance of its exhaust ability. That exhaust ability can be activated.
Exhaust Rules
An activated ability that may be activated only once. See rule 702.177, “Exhaust.”
- 702.177a: Exhaust is a keyword that adds additional rules to the activated ability that follows it. “Exhaust — [Cost]: [Effect]” means “[Cost]: [Effect]. Activate only once.”
- 702.177b: An effect may allow you to take an action as long as you haven’t activated an exhaust ability this turn. Such an effect allows that action only if you haven’t begun to activate an exhaust ability this turn.
