Quest Completion triggers

Hey all,

Just encountered this scenario:
After playing a “Cornered Sentry” while your opponent has the “Unseal the vault” quest active, the 3 summoned 1/1 Raptors will count towards “Unseal the vault” completion.

When playing a “Wild Bloodsinger” while your opponent has the “Fire Plume’s Heart” quest active, summoning a Taunt minion from hand will not count towards “Fire Plume’s Heart” completion.

Can someone explain why one works towards completion and why the other doesn’t? Both cards should count toward completion, right?

no, it’s alright.

fire plume’s heart says “play”. wild bloodstinger “summons”.

“summon” basically means to bring a minion into the battlefield in whatever way.

“play” means to put a minion from your hand into the battlefield by paying its mana cost.

with wild bloodstinger the warrior doesn’t pay the mana cost, so it doesn’t count as “play” (and it doesn’t even say “play” on the card).

tldr: “summon from hand” is not the same as “play”.
