Do Abilities Count as Casting in Magic The Gathering?
Nah, activating abilities isn't the same as casting a spell in MTG. When you cast a spell, you're playing it from your hand and paying its mana cost. Abilities, on the other hand, get activated from the battlefield or wherever the card is at the time, and you pay whatever cost the ability requires. Totally different beasts!

Hot take: counting abilities as casting would break the game. So, no, MTG keeps'em separate for good reason.
Lol, nope. Think of casting as throwing a spell into the magic pit, while using an ability is like pressing a button on a magic machine that's already out there.
