Does copying count as casting in MTG?

Nope, copying a spell in MTG doesn't count as casting it. Casting involves paying mana and putting the spell onto the stack yourself. Copying just puts a new copy on the stack without the need to pay mana or anything. So, if you're hoping to trigger 'when you cast' effects, copying won't help you there.

Absolutely not. Copying a spell skips the whole casting process. So, no cast triggers for copied spells!

Copying =/= Casting. Learned that the hard way in a game once. So no, it doesn't count.

Gonna have to burst your bubble - copying is NOT casting. So, if your deck's all about those sweet cast triggers, copying spells won't trigger them. Just a heads up.
