When you have a Ravenbloom Student and play a spell, does Ravenbloom Student gain power before or after the spell resolves?

Ruling: Ravenbloom Student gains power after the spell resolves. Cards are only considered "played" when they fully resolve.

Sequence:

• Spell is placed on the chain
• Spell resolves
• Ravenbloom Student's trigger activates and she gains power

Nuances:

• Placing a card on the chain is not the same as "playing" a card
• This general rule has an exception with Brynhir, where "play" is considered being put on the chain for that specific ability
