A creature's status is independent of summoning sickness. In other words, if a creature enters the battlefield tapped or face down, it is still affected by summoning sickness like normal.
And if the status changes, it's still the same creature, so you still just have to check whether you controlled the creature since your turn started to determine whether it's affected. Conversely, summoning sickness does not affect a creature's status. Being summoning sick does not change whether a creature is tapped vs. Then it is affected by summoning sickness, just like any other creature. The summoning sickness rule only checks whether the permanent is a creature.
It doesn't check that it is not any other type. A special mention should be made for Dryad Arbor. Because it is a Forest, it has an intrinsic ability see rule Rule describes how double-faced cards work, and When a double-faced permanent transforms, it doesn't become a new object.
Any effects that applied to that permanent will continue to apply to it after it transforms. For the purposes of this question, that means that when a creature transforms, it is only affected by summoning sickness if it was affected before it transformed. If creature A enters the battlefield as a copy of creature B, then creature A is affected by summoning sickness, like any other creature that just entered the battlefield.
This is true even if it's a token. If creature A becomes a copy of creature B, then it is only affected by summoning sickness if it would have been affected before it became a copy. It doesn't matter whether creature B was affected by summoning sickness. This is analogous to the "transform" case: the creature's characteristics change, but it's still the same object that it was before it changed. Rule Other effects including type-changing and text-changing effects , status, and counters are not copied.
Importantly, summoning sickness is not mentioned here, and neither is anything that rule If the copy isn't a creature, it is not affected by summoning sickness. Sign up to join this community.
