I am pretty sure this works.  If I play {Mox diamond}, do not discard a land, and let it go to the GY......it still adds to the storm count right?

Cindjor

Yes. Because you still played it, you just chose to sacrifice it. It's not part of the casting cost but the ETB of keeping it in play.

Actually it never enters the BF unless you discard a land.

Right. If they let it EBT, you could tap it before it dies.

Aka a better {Lotus Petal}, which is saying a lot.

Storm counts spells cast. A sorcery doesnt go to the bf. You cast the diamond so it still counts.

Could you cast {mox diamond} then cast the spell that allows to change the text of a spell to "fix" the diamond and have it come in for free?

Like {stifle} or {trickbind}? Probably. Maybe {torpor orb}?

Ultimately you payed the mana cost, it was put on the stack, storm count increases regaurdless of {Mox Diamond}'s fate. 
