Is the templating in Bloomburrow shortening 'enters the battlefield' to just 'enters' a new tech for all ETB, or just for creatures that have their own effect trigger on entry?
Starting with Bloomburrow, we are changing “enters the battlefield” to “enters” (and this will be applied retroactively in Oracle). Entering will be connected specifically with the battlefield, so cards can’t, for example, “enter the graveyard”. We will occasionally write out “enters the battlefield” where we think we need it for clarity in a template.
“Leaves the battlefield” is *not* being shortened to “leaves” as we have used leave as a means to talk about cards leaving the graveyard, so it created ambiguity we didn’t want.
