Are MTG effects cast or played?
In Magic The Gathering, you 'cast' spells, including instants and sorceries, and you 'play' lands. So, if you're talking about slinging a fireball or summoning a dragon, you're casting. If you're talking about putting a land into play, then you're playing that card. Whether it's a creature, artifact, or enchantment, if you're using mana to get it onto the battlefield, you're casting it!

Just a quick note - you 'cast' most things in MTG, but remember, lands are 'played', not cast. Can't cast a land, since they don't require mana. Simple as that.
Everyone seems to be forgetting that while you do 'cast' spells, saying you 'played' a spell isn't wrong in casual talk. But yeah, technically, it's 'casting' for spells and 'playing' for lands.
