Serra Redeemer 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.
01

Flying Whenever another creature you control with power 2 or less enters, put two +1/+1 counters on that creature.
How it works : Serra Redeemer
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Serra Redeemer's second ability checks the power of a creature only at the moment it enters the battlefield. If it enters with counters, those counters are included. If that creature's power is less than 2 when it enters the battlefield but becomes greater than 2 after the ability triggers, you will still put two counters on it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
