wotc
Putting a soul counter onto Netherborn Altar is part of the cost to activate its ability, and counting the number of soul counters is done as the ability resolves. Players may take actions between those times to change the number of soul counters, perhaps by removing them all so that you lose no life.
wotc
If you have two commanders in the command zone, Netherborn Altar’s ability puts one of your choice into your hand, not both.
