Does this count as discard?

Asked by darkmatter32x 7 years ago

If my opponent controls Nephalia Academy or Library of Leng then he discarded a card and my opponent sent it to the library, does it count as a'Discard'? (ie. Liliana's Caress, Waste Not)

Yes. Although a replacement effect is modifying where the discarded card goes, the card is still discarded.
