Does Ninjitsu count as a spell in MTG?

Nope. Ninjitsu is an ability, not a spell. This means it doesn't use the stack the same way spells do, and can't be countered by most spells that specifically target spells.

Absolutely not; Ninjitsu is an ability, and a pretty cool one at that! It lets you swap in attackers unexpectedly. Don't mistake it for a spell though; you won't be needing any mana to cast it, just pay its ninjitsu cost!

Nah, ninjitsu doesn't count as casting a spell. It's actually an ability. You sneak that creature onto the battlefield when your opponent least expects it, bypassing the traditional casting method. So, it won't trigger stuff that says 'when you cast a spell'. Sneaky, right?
