Does suspend count as casting in Magic The Gathering?
Nope! Suspend doesn't count as casting the card. When you suspend a card, you're basically putting it into a time-out with time counters on it. Each upkeep, you remove a time counter, and when the last one is removed, THEN you cast the spell for free. So, you're not casting it when you suspend it, but rather when the suspension is finally over.

Yes, the moment you鈥檝e all been waiting for鈥攃asting from suspend does indeed trigger abilities that look for casting spells. But the act of suspending? Not casting, my friends. Save those triggers for the grand entrance.
Actually, it's a common misconception. Suspend itself isn't casting - it's more like setting up a delayed cast. So when the suspension ends, that's when the real magic happens, and the spell gets cast for real. Important distinction for cards that care about casting!
