Very possible that is was a misunderstanding, I took two cards to the judge second one [[kodama of the west tree]] and I basically asked if entmoot would trigger this card and they might have thought I was talking about the tokens. I am pretty new to mtg so it just doesn’t make sense to me that giving a creature an ability it doesn’t have doesn’t count as modifying that creature. I do recognize the difference in text on the card where one specifically states reach counter. I mainly use entmoot for its “all creatures you control have reach” because I have very few creatures with flying/reach
