I do not know if this is specific to Sword of D&D, or if any entering the dungeon counts, but the first time you enter a dungeon with the effect of Sword of D&D, it counts as casting a spell. The attached video demonstrates the bug, as I was able to cast a spell with a deck that has no spells in it.

    I just encountered this yesterday during the You've Found an Entrance event. I had the quest "Win 3 fights without casting any spells". I played four matches with decks that didn't have any spell. Three of them contained creatures and abilities from my planeswalker that allow to Venture into the Dungeon. Every time a dungeon is entered, it counts as casting a spell.

    Please fix @Magic:PQ Support Team : It's not cool to have to play additional matches due to this bug to reach some of the quest goals.

    If you look at how they implemented the dungeons they're token spells. When you're on the screen to select you which dungeon you'll be venturing into you're selecting one of the three dungeon spells. The best way I can think to describe what happened is that you summoned a spell, but because there's usually no such thing as summoning spells it's being counted as having cast a spell.

    Cast
    A card is cast if it has full mana while in the player's hand or graveyard, and only after the player makes a swap.
    A card can only be cast if it's not disabled and only if it has a valid target available (if any).
    Also, a card must have the Buried ability to be cast from a graveyard.

    The dungeon spell was never in your hand or graveyard though so according to the current definition of cast the dungeon spell wasn't cast.

    For an easy fix this could probably stay as is if they update the help articles a little to explain what's happening and declare that it counts as casting a spell. It would definitely be less confusing if it didn't count as casting a spell though.
