Are spell copies considered 'cast' in Magic The Gathering?

Nope, spell copies in MTG aren't considered 'cast'. They're just directly placed onto the stack. This means they don't trigger 'when you cast' effects. So, if you're planning a deck around casting triggers, copied spells won't help your cause.

Copied spells? Cast? Nah, that's not how the arcane arts work in MTG. They just clone themselves onto the stack, no casting involved. So, if you're hoping for those casting bonuses, you're out of luck.

Copies? Cast? Not in this game! They bypass the whole casting process and just pop up on the stack.

Actually, copied spells don't count as being cast. They kinda just appear out of thin air (magically!) onto the stack without triggering any of those 'on cast' abilities. But hey, they can still be a sneaky way to double up on those powerful spells!
