Etched Slith is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Menace Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on it. When you do, you may remove a counter from another target permanent or opponent.
How it works : Etched Slith
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You don't choose a target for Etched Slith's last ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you put a +1/+1 counter on Etched Slith 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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If there's more than one type of counter on the targeted permanent or opponent, Etched Slith's controller chooses which counter to remove.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
In a case where you put more than one +1/+1 counter on Etched Slith with its last ability (for example, because of the effect of Doubling Season), the reflexive ability will trigger once for each +1/+1 counter you put on it this way.
No other card is named in this ruling.
