bestial menace glimpse of nature magic worldwake faq

[Volume]

if i play glimpse of nature and them I play bestial menace (the new cool card that gives me a snake, wolf and elephant at once) do I draw 3 cards or only 1?

[Nik]

i think you get to draw 3 cards because its like you are playing 3 creatures and so the ability will trigger 3 times

actally you dont get to draw any card because bastial menace gives you creature tokens and tokens are not spells cuz tokens exist only on the battlefield when the tokens leave the battlefield they cease to exist and if they were spells they would go on the stack and ceese to exist before resolving so it means they cannot be spells and glimpse of nature says that whenever you cast a creature SPELL you draw a card but since tokens are not spells you dont get to draw

[Volume]

but i thought creature tokens count as creatures?

[kip]

yea but like i said they are creatures but they are not creature SPELLS they never went on the stack so they cannot be spells so you cannot get to draw

kip's correct in this case. Casting a creature spell is not the same as putting a creature into play. It's the same basic reason as to why if you use Elvish Piper to bring out Phage the Untouchable, you'll lose the game.

[Logi]

yes remember that bestial menace is a sorcery so you cast a sorcery spell not a creature spell and that sorcery spell put creatures into play

An easy way to figure it out is to look at the actual, physical card you played from your hand and look at its type line. Does it say "Creature" there? No? Then it's not a creature spell.
