    (As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after IV.) I, II, III — Mill three cards. You may put a historic card from among them into your hand. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.) IV — Historic spells you cast this turn cost 2 generic mana less to cast.

    Lands are never cast, so abilities that trigger “whenever you cast a historic spell” won’t trigger if you play a legendary land. They also won’t trigger if a card on the battlefield transforms into a card with the legendary supertype, the artifact card type, or the Saga subtype.

    Some abilities trigger “whenever you cast a historic spell.” Such an ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

    An ability that triggers “whenever you cast a historic spell” doesn’t trigger if a historic card is put onto the battlefield without being cast.
