Does 'play' count as 'cast' in Magic The Gathering?
In Magic The Gathering, 'play' and 'cast' have slightly different meanings. When you 'cast' a spell, you're specifically dealing with non-land cards, and you're paying their mana cost to put them on the stack, where they can be responded to before they resolve. 'Play', on the other hand, refers to either casting spells or playing land cards. So, all casting is playing, but not all playing is casting. Keep in mind, some abilities or cards may specify one term over the other which can affect how they interact.

Nope, playing a card isn't the same as casting it. You play lands but cast spells. Big difference in the rules!
Actually, 'play' does include 'cast'. You can 'play' lands and 'cast' spells. It's just MTG lingo making things confusing as usual.
