Does Ravenbloom Student get +1 might if I play a spell but it gets countered?
No, Ravenbloom Student does not gain +1 Might if the spell you play is countered.
According to the FAQ and Rule 412.1.b, a spell is only considered "played" when it resolves. If a spell is countered, it does not resolve, and therefore it is not considered to have been played for the purposes of triggered abilities like Ravenbloom Student's.
Sequence of events:
- You cast a spell (it enters the chain).
- Your opponent plays a card to Counter your spell (e.g., Defy).
- The Counter effect resolves, negating your spell.
- Because your spell was countered, it does not resolve.
- Since the spell did not resolve, it is not considered "played," and Ravenbloom Student's ability does not trigger.
As stated in Rule 412.1.b: "A card that is Countered is not considered to have been played."
