During a recent game, I noticed that the new card Earthen gets +2/+2 for each other earthen summoned by that player during the game. Great no problem. My concern is that, upon resurrecting said card, it automatically gets that bonus as well. I have tried this mechanic many times, using the battlecry/when summoned mechanic when resurrecting, and it has NEVER worked before. I think this is an unfair change, and either needs retroactively applied to all resurrected cards or removed from this one.
This is the way Earthen Golem has always worked. Resurrecting an Earthen Golem summons it. Astral Automaton works essentially the same way
What do you mean, exactly, by “before”?
Are you comparing Earthen to other cards that existed before? If so, what cards?
If you’re comparing it to, say, Pogo-Hopper:
… well, that effect is specifically a battlecry, so of course it would not apply upon resurrection.
But the Earthen effect is NOT a battlecry.
I don’t know what you’ve been playing before but apparently not these cards.
A quick youtube search and 8 months ago what you describe was already in place
