Playing Tour de Ravnica, the first encounter clearly states “cast 3 creatures with 5 or more toughness”, yet the counter for this objective was ticking from Primevals’ Glorious Rebirth pulling creatures from the graveyard.
I’ve found the same with Vivien’s Invocation, the creature it fetches counts as a “cast” creature, whereas it should only be counted as a “summoned” creature.
Additionally, Trostani Discordant no longer produces Soldier Tokens when it comes into play via an effect like Vivien’s Invocation, although it does when you cast it. Trostani Discordant uses the wording “when this creature enters the battlefield”, and so it should always produce tokens (i.e. it should trigger when “summon” should trigger, not when “cast” should trigger).
Probably, many other creatures which say “when this creature enters the battlefield” will be bugged in the same way.
Hi Everyone. The team is aware of certain event objectives requiring either text or behavior adjustments in order to ensure consistent expectations. This is a manual process of addressing each one individually though, so we appreciate everyone’s patience as they work through this process. Thank you!
This is getting silly. Emrakul, tokens count as summoned, from the graveyard counts as summoned.
Rising Tensions, tokens don’t count as cast…
@Brigby - can you get them to make this a “Top” priority? I mean seriously it’s costing us rewards at times and while it’s just free stuff, I don’t have time to create a spreadsheet of all the event and objectives plus what counts and what doesn’t count, etc, etc, etc.
Fun fact: That very issue was the reason objectives were changed to no longer include tokens a little over 2 years ago. Frog and Imprisoned in Moon were insta-fails for these types of objectives. People would make troll decks with them just to fail people.
To be fair, until Oktagon decided that blue needs some serious buffs turn to frog and imprisoned were by far the best control options for blue - not restricted by creature number or hand cards. So those cards were basically auto includes for everyone having them - making the initial issue even worse
