Well they could stop using it themselves, mark it as outdated in the comp rules, and promote a better term. They could even make the new term the official name of the rule itself.

If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch . YAY COLOR IDENTITY

I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

One thing that I like and which has been suggested on these boards before is that your creature is "Dizzy" unless you've controlled it since the beginning of your turn.

Player A casts Baneslayer Angel !
Baneslayer Angel enters the battlefield confused!
Baneslayer Angel hurt itself in its confusion!

"Dizzy" sounds like something from Pokemon. "Creature Disorientation" is accurate, but sounds like a blue spell. Anyone know their way around a thesaurus?

That is because it is from Pokemon lol. It was also the reason why I gave an example in my previous post about the state of "confusion" as Dizzy can inflict "confusion" on a pokemon.

Oh....3rd grade memories.

"Control Sickness" would be the term I like to use, since it works for both "entering the battlefield" as well as "on the battlefield, but changes controller."

Pick any one from here which sounds as if the creature is adapting to it's arrival on your side of the battlefield:
Accomodating, Acclimatising, Attuning..

.. or these here which sounds as if the creatures simply aren't responsive due to it's 'new' status: 
Muzzy, Fuzzy, Jetlagged..

Just sharing~ ; )

Please don't bump old threads.

"summoning sickness" is not an official term and it has no rules meaning.  You can call it whatever you want.

the one thing no one mentioned is for example hero of bladehold the tokens come in tapped and attacking, so that and a couple other cards do put tokens into play and they are attacking.
