<p>Casting a spell is different from putting a permanent into play.  Casting a permanent spell puts that spell on the stack.  When a permanent spell resolves, that permanent enters play.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-19)

If [Wild Pair](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=122468) is on the field when I cast a 5/5, and I use Wild Pair to put [Enlisted Wurm](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=185047) into play, does Enlisted Wurm's cascade trigger?

## No. Cascade triggers when the spell with Cascade is cast.

Casting a spell is different from putting a permanent into play. Casting a permanent spell puts that spell on the stack. When a permanent spell resolves, that permanent enters play. There are other ways of putting a permanent directly into play (like Wild Pair) that do not involve casting a spell.

**Cascade does not trigger.**

Searching the library and putting the card into play does not equal to casting a spell.

In Order to get the behaviour you're asking of, Wild Pairs triggered ability would have to be worded differently, e.g.:

Wild Pair: Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, if you cast it from your hand, you may search your library for a creature card with the same total power and toughness. *You may cast it without paying its mana cost*. If you do, shuffle your library.
