Hazezon doesn't trigger on Desert Spell cast

The OTJ creature masterpiece Hazezon, Shaper of Sand has a triggered ability that reads, among other things:

"When you cast a Desert card: Create 2 Naya Sand Warrior Tokens."

Yet when you cast Legacy desert spells like Shefet Dunes, Endless Sands, Hostile Desert, Ipnu Rivulet, Scavenger Grounds, Desert of the True, Desert of the Fervent, Desert of the Mindful, Desert of the Glorified, Desert of the Indomitable, Ifnir Deadlands, Ramunap Ruins, Hashep Oasis, Dunes of the Dead or Survivor's Encampment he does, in fact, not create any tokens even though the effect description clearly states that you only need to cast a Desert CARD for it to trigger, not a Desert support.

It's again one of those instances where you either have to adjust the card description for it to fit the actual functionality of the card, or to adjust the functionality of the card to fit the description.

Considering this only effects Legacy events in any case I would greatly prefer the latter, @Magic:PQ Support Team... Having Hazezon trigger on Desert Spell cast would be a nice way to encourage the use of those very old Amonkhet spells, and it wouldn't hurt the Standard environment at all.
