Actually, they are a form of removal if you think about it. Sure, they don't zap something off the board, but they remove the problem before it even starts. It's like having a bouncer outside your party who doesn't let trouble through the door.

Nope, counterspells aren't really considered 'removal' in the traditional BREAD (Bombs, Removal, Evasion, Aggro, Duds) strategy for drafting MTG. They're more like preemptive strikes to stop threats before they hit the board. Removal typically refers to spells that deal with creatures or permanents already in play. Think of counterspells as the ounce of prevention to the pound of cure that is removal!

No. Counterspells prevent, removal cleans up. Simple as that.
