Countering a storm spell won’t counter the copies of it. Exiling a card using suspend doesn’t count as casting a spell; you only cast a suspended card when you remove the last time counter from it and that ability resolves.
Can you copy storm MTG?
No. Storm is a casting trigger, so it only triggers during that zone transition. Copying a spell with storm, which is what the storm ability actually does to itself, will not trigger the ability. It can’t be allowed to, really, else storm would spiral off into infinity and break the game.
What happens when you counter a storm spell?
Even if the original spell with storm gets countered, storm triggers when the spell is cast, so all the other copies will still go on the stack. The only way to stop storm is with Stifle-style effects, which counter the storm ability itself.
How do you stop a storm MTG?
If a player wants to stop the storm trigger, he needs a card that can counter triggered abilities like Stifle or Trickbind. He has to play the Stifle or Trickbind before the Storm Trigger resolves in order to stop the storm trigger from putting copies on the stack.
How does countering a spell with Storm work?
Countering a spell with storm won’t affect the copies. 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. You may choose new targets for any of the copies. You can choose differently for each copy.
Why does reverberate not count as a copy of storm?
The copy of Lightning Bolt that was created by Reverberate will not be counted. For this reason a storm ability will not count the copies made by another storm ability. The storm trigger on the stack is independent of the storm spell. So countering the initial spell will not prevent the copies from going on the stack.
Can a copy of a spell be countered?
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. The triggered ability that creates the copies can itself be countered by anything that can counter a triggered ability.
How does copying work with Storm in Magic The Gathering?
You cast Grapeshot (put it on the stack, choose its target, pay its cost), and in the process, two abilities trigger: one from Grapeshot’s own Storm, and the other from Super Cloven Casting. These go on the stack on top of Grapeshot, though you get to choose the order. It turns out not to matter, so I will choose one order to demonstrate.
