Changeling + Cast Spirit or Arcane Spell Trigger

[Tog]

Does casting a spell with Changeling trigger a card such as Elder Pine of Jukai? Thank you for your time.

Yes, every object with changeling is also a spirit and will trigger abilities accordingly.


702.70a Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. “Changeling” means “This object is every creature type.” This ability works everywhere, even outside the game.

Since the title of this thread also asks about arcane, playing a spell with changeling will not trigger anything referring to an arcane spell. Per rule 702.20a just posted, changeling grants all creature types; however, arcane is not any of the creature types.
