Rulings

  1. 2022-12-08 · wotc — A copy of a spell can be countered like any other spell, but it must be countered individually. Countering a spell with storm won't affect the copies.
  2. 2022-12-08 · wotc — The triggered ability that creates the copies can itself be countered by anything that can counter a triggered ability. If it is countered, no copies will be put onto the stack.
  3. 2022-12-08 · wotc — Spells cast from zones other than a player's hand and spells that were countered are counted by the storm ability.
  4. 2022-12-08 · wotc — You may choose new targets for any of the copies. You can make different choices for each copy.
  5. 2022-12-08 · wotc — The copies are put directly onto the stack. They aren't cast and won't be counted by other spells with storm cast later in the turn.
