Putrid Goblin, Thran Vigil
When putrid goblin enters with a -1/-1 counter it is supposed to receive a +1/+1 counter from thran vigil. Instead it loses its -1/-1 counter. These are different types of counters and should be counted separately. This is lazy programming in my opinion and doesn’t provide for predictable play. This should not be existing as an infinite combo with the Altars.

As per the rules (704.5q to be specific), +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters annihilate each other one for one as a state based action. So the Goblin did get the +1/+1 counter, then lost both counters.
