Axe Backwards

Vertical Spinner - {2}{u}: Tap target BattleBot
blocking Axe Backwards. It doesn't untap during
its controller's next untap step.

+1/+1 counters on it.
If damage would be dealt to Axe Backwards while
it has a +1/+1 counter on it, prevent that damage
and remove that many +1/+1 counters instead.
