Nope, copying a spell in MTG doesn't count as casting it. Casting involves actually paying the spell's mana cost and putting it onto the stack from your hand. Copies are just placed on the stack, not cast, so they don't trigger 'on cast' effects.

Short answer: nah, copy isn't casting. You miss out on those sweet 'when you cast' triggers.

Gotta disagree with the crowd here. I think the distinction barely matters unless you're deep into competitive play. For casual games, it's all just wizardly fun.
