impending is not a creature
if the impending ability specifically states that it's not a creature while it has any time counters on it, why is it that it gains the benefits of when you cast your next creature spell put a +1/+1 counter on it? Does Impending count as a creature or not? If not then why does it get counters ? And if it does why can't it be countered by counter target creature spell? You guys really need to get your act together, instead of worrying so much about trying to rope in new whiney players that wont stay when you have no choice but to balance the game, why not focus on retaining players by fixing the **** in the game , like the many cards that don't follow the rules and how bad the shuffler is?

You are confusing creaure SPELLS with creature PERMANENTS. A spell cast with impending is still a creature spell, but it enters with time counters and is not a c reature WHILE ON THE BATTLEFIELD so long as it has time counters on it. The spell does not have time counters, and is a creature spell while on the stack. As such it benefits from Cavern of Souls. And as a creature spell, the permanent it becomes will get counters for the next creature spell. It CAN be countered by "counter target creature spell". It CANNOT be countered by "counter target noncreature spell".
