Does exiling a Creature Spell from the Stack count as Exiling a Creature an opponent controlled?
Asked by Lumbae 7 months ago

The new Bloomburrow card Vren, the Relentless has the condition "X is the number of creatures your opponents controlled that were exiled this turn."
If I use a counterspell that exiles the creature spell from the stack, such as Dissipate, would that count for Vren's ability?
Essentially a question of "Is a Creature Spell on the stack the same as a Creature permanent?"

It won't count. If an effect calls out the name of a permanent type (creature, enchantment etc.) but doesn't also specify something like "spell", "card in a graveyard" etc. then that means it's only talking about a permanent of that type on the battlefield. Vren's ability will only consider things that get exiled from the battlefield.
