    Increment (Whenever you cast a spell, if the amount of mana you spent is greater than this creature's power or toughness, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.) At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may pay X generic mana . When you do, move X +1/+1 counters from this creature onto another target creature.

    The increment ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack.

    You don't choose a target for Tester of the Tangential's last ability at the time it triggers. Instead, a second "reflexive" ability triggers whenever you pay X generic mana this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.

    To move a counter from one creature to another, the counter is removed from the first creature and put onto the second. Any abilities that care about a counter being removed from or placed on a creature will apply.
