Title: Copying storm?
Post by: Brandalog on July 15, 2012, 12:43:55 AM
So if I have a card with the storm ability and I copy it does the storm activate from the copy?

For example: you play {brain freeze} and {twin cast} it, does either {brain freeze} storm activate?

Storm triggers only when you cast it. Putting a copy on the stack won't trigger storm, and won't add to your storm count either.

Otherwise, the copies that Storm makes would storm again an again, and that's just silly.

In your situation, you would end up with two and only two {Brainfreeze}s on Le Stack.

If it was the only 2 spells cast the copy would resolve first with a storm count of 2 and the original would resolve with a storm count of 1......milling 9 total.

But the actually casting of {twincast} is a spell and counts.

copies are not cast unless specicly stated {isochron scepter}. the twincasted copy does not count towards storm nor does it's own storm trigger.
