Yes, in MTG, creatures are indeed considered spells when they're on the stack. Basically, when you play a creature card from your hand, it's a spell until it enters the battlefield. So, your opponents can respond to it with their instants or abilities, just like any other spell.

Absolutely, creatures are spells too! The moment you cast them, they're spells that can be countered. Once they hit the battlefield, they're no longer spells, they're creatures ready to do your bidding.

Quick tip: yes, they are! Whenever you're about to unleash a creature, remember, it's a spell right up until it successfully lands on the battlefield. This means it can be countered or interacted with like any other spell out there.

No way, creatures are creatures, not spells. Once they hit the table, they're just your minions waiting for orders.
