Does Door of Destinies trigger from cards I play from a graveyard?
Asked by WBG 6 years ago
I play a Shadowborn Apostle deck with Bloodbond March, I was wondering if I have Door of Destinies and Bloodbond March out on the battlefield, and I play a Shadowborn Apostle from my hand, I get all of the Shadowborn Apostles from my graveyard to the battlefield again; so, do I get one counter on my Door of Destinies, or a counter for all the Shadowborn Apostles that were in my graveyard. (Do I get 1 or like 6 counters on DoD?)
Also, if I have Thrumming Stone out, do the cards I play from its ability (putting them from my library to the battlefield) count towards the Door of Destinies as well?
I'm really confused on how it works,Thanks

Door of Destinies triggers when you cast a creature spell. If you cast a spell, it doesn't matter for the Door from where you cast it.
Bloodbond March returns all creatures with a specific name to the battlefield. That is NOT casting a creature spell, but an ability that lets these creature change zones (graveyard -> battlefield). Door will NOT trigger, you only get one counter.
Thrumming Stone's Riffle ability lets you cast the revealed cards. Door will trigger, it gets a counter for each Apostle you cast.
Other examples:
You choose Zombie and cast Gravecrawler from your graveyard. Door will trigger, because you cast the spell.
You choose Vampire and play a land, returning Bloodghast to the battlefield. Door won't trigger, because you didn't cast a spell.
Really, the important part here is that you have to cast a creature spell with the specified subtype. Creatures just changing zones will not trigger the Door.
