I think it's unlikely. It's likely the difference between "play" and "summon", in that "cast on" requires an active action from the player, rather than the game doing it automatically.
Sometimes i feel blizzard is too afraid of combos, while grossly underestimating strength of some individual cards. Not speaking of combos they didnt intend... Even with it working towards the quest it would probably not be a very strong deck. Reason could be that some of the devs have roots in other card games, where a card like voraaxx could break the game, but in hearthstone combos generally are much harder to pull off, as there is very limited tutoring effects and such and board control is much more important.
As it is now, kind of the dream would be voraxx into blessing of king, which gives you 7/7 + 5/5 which is decent but nothing compared to the power level of jades. Another chance of a cool deck missed. Hope Blizzard will get better in the future with their evaluations.
Its really unfortunate as the buffadin creatures that are rotating are vastly superior to the buffadin creatures they just made. They made all of the new ones unbelievably weak stats for their costs which means instead of having on curve creatures you need to have control of the board or try to drop and buff them as you drop them. I am really mad at blizzard for punishing the new ones with such bad stats for their mana.
why did they hype this the most out of every single card though?
for people to actually craft it and to drive attention away from the other quets, if people craft the bad quest first then they'll ahve to spend money/dust on creating one of the other 8 good quests.
Even if it did help you complete the quest, Pally has the worst reward. Sure maybe you get the dream matchup, but in a meta where silence is coming back, BGH might see play, plenty of transform cards to include Tinkmaster, the reward is just too weak with the deck you have to play. If your Galvodon has any of this happen to them, or gets pulled by Dirty Rat, you might as well concede. I feel bad for Paladin because it's my all time favorite class and this quest calls back to me of when I first started playing Hearthstone, where my strat was to Blessing of Kings and Blessed Champion a Stranglethorn Tiger a couple times. Galvodon is that strat on steroids but the game has evolved and it's so easy to counter.
The stream proved that the paladin quest is fine. Top tier? Maybe not because even if it became super powerful there are easy tech choices against the deck, but playable for sure.
So the quest tells you to "Cast 6 spells on your minions".
The Voraxx summons a 1/1 on which (as the cards text says) then YOU cast a spell. So is it actually like you would have casted 2 spells?
Because this card + [card]Primalfin Champion[/card] makes paladin quest much more accessible.
I think it counts as 1 as this cast mechanic reminds me of Servant of Yogg-Saron

Dude this card is already good when Buffed atleast once. 2 cheap buffs and this card is already very good legendary value.
Both of them are completely unplayable so the point is moot.
Link doesn't work for me.
And the Card would be helpful as well:
The Voraxx
Now I am sad =/
FOR THE HORDE!

It still gives you good value in a paladin buff deck, it just doesn't ramp your quest as fast.
Still clearly seems like an intended neutral legendary for paladin decks in my opinion.
Its already good if you buff it atleast once. If you buff it twice then its very good value.

100% counts as 2. Same if you want to run Djinni as well.
