Actually, yes. In MTG, creatures are spells until they hit the battlefield. It's a common misconception that creatures are a separate entity from spells, but in reality, when you're playing a creature card, you're casting a creature spell. Think of it as them traveling through the spell realm before making their grand entrance on the battlefield.

Yep, in Magic The Gathering, creatures are indeed considered spells when you cast them from your hand. So, while they're chilling on the battlefield, they're creatures doing their creature things, but during that magical moment when you're summoning them, they're spells. This means they can be countered by anything that counters spells, not just by something that specifically says it counters creatures.

Short answer: Yes, creatures are spells too. Long answer: Still yes.

Nope. Creatures are creatures, end of story. Who cares if they technically count as spells while casting? Once they're on the field, that's all they are.
