Token creatures & summoning sickness??
Asked by OctaAndy 12 years ago
If I bring a token creature into play via a spell or ability, does it still have summoning sickness as normal? Or does it bypass that rule because it was not a creature directly summoned from my hand?

Also, while I'm thinking about it, what about creatures that are brought back into play from the graveyard via ability or spell?
Reassembling Skeleton (for this question, please ignore that the Skeleton comes back into play tapped)
WIth some token makers, like two of your examples, Join the Ranks and Kazandu Tuskcaller , you can call up your token on your opponents turn, thereby making surprise blockers and/or subverting "summoning sickness," because the creature is under your control when your turn begins.

"Summoning sickness" is just the common slang, and isn't dependent on being "summoned" by a certain process. If you haven't controlled a creature continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn, it has "summoning sickness".
