Official notes

Rulings

November 10, 2023 Wizards of the Coast

Admiral Brass, Unsinkable's effect will overwrite any previous effects that set the returned creature's power and toughness to specific numbers. Effects that otherwise modify the returned creature's power and toughness will still apply no matter when they took effect. The same is true for +1/+1 counters.
November 10, 2023 Wizards of the Coast

Finality counters work on any permanent, not only creatures. If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.
November 10, 2023 Wizards of the Coast

Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.
November 10, 2023 Wizards of the Coast

Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.

Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.
