I see why they did it, but personally I think saying "When [creature] enters, ..." sounds weird. It wants a noun after it when I hear it. It sounds like "enters the room" or "enters stage left" when I read it. It also kinda makes ETB no longer mean anything, and I really like that abbreviation 😕

Yeah no way I stop saying ETB!

I agree that "enters" sounds like a play or movie or something, I guess it just takes some getting used to.
