Does exiling Simian Spirit Guide count towards storm counters?
Asked by mmdw34 11 years ago
If I exile Simian Spirit Guide for the mana will it count towards my storm count or no?

No, that's just activating an ability.
Casting a spell is taking a card from where it is and put it on the stack, paying its cost so that it will eventually resolve and have its effect.

except that a spell does not have to resolve to count towards storm.

@Phobophile: That's the definition for casting. Spells are considered cast regardless of whether they resolve, but that phrase appears in the CR definition.

no.
it is an ability, "storm" specifically only counts spells that are cast
