Does permanents count as spells in MTG?
Yes and no. Casting a permanent is casting a spell, but once it's on the field, it's not a spell anymore. So, during casting, yes. After casting, no.

Only when they're being cast. Once permanents are on the battlefield, they're not considered spells anymore. Think of it like this: a creature card is a spell on its way to the party (the battlefield), but once it arrives, it's no longer traveling - it's just there.
In MTG, permanents themselves aren't spells, but the act of playing a permanent card from your hand is considered casting a spell. So, when you play a creature, enchantment, artifact, or any permanent card, it's a spell until it resolves and hits the battlefield.
Nope, permanents are not spells. Easy as that.
