Play vs Cast
Asked by SinestroCorps 2 years ago
Is there a distinction between "play" and "cast"? For instance, if I utilize Intet, the Dreamer 's ability to play Arbiter of the Ideal with Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty in play, does cascade trigger? Thank you!
Clarification: So yes, since Arbiter of the Ideal was cast ("played" as a spell), Arbiter gains cascade. (Imoti's cascade-granting isn't a triggered ability.)

"Playing" is putting a land down or casting a spell. Intent, the Dreamer uses "play" to capture both of these. So yes, since Arbiter of the Ideal was cast ("played" as a spell), Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty will trigger.
Watch out for "put into the battlefield" like Call to the Kindred . If it doesn't say "play" or "cast", it isn't being played or cast.
