Rulings
- : Use the characteristics of each permanent as it returns to the battlefield to determine if it should enter with an additional +1/+1 counter, an additional loyalty counter, or in very unusual cases, both. Notably, if you exile a creature that was only a creature because of a type-changing effect, it will enter as a noncreature permanent and won't get any additional +1/+1 counters from the effect of Semester's End.
