Are Permanents Considered Spells in MTG?
Nope, once they hit the field, they're not spells. Spells are what you're casting from your hand, but once they're on the battlefield doing their thing, they're permanents, not spells. Simple as that.

Sorta! In Magic The Gathering, when you cast a permanent (like a creature, artifact, enchantment, planeswalker, or land), it's considered a spell while it's on the stack鈥攎eaning before it actually hits the battlefield. Once it's on the battlefield, it's no longer considered a spell but a permanent ready to do battle!
As someone who's spent way too much money on MTG over the years, yes, everything you cast is technically a spell until it resolves. Been corrected on this by my local game store's MTG guru more times than I care to admit!
