Storm and Wild Ricochet

[archer9480]

So if some one were to play a spell with storm, and I decided to use Wild Ricochet to redirect it, would the copy that Wild Ricochet makes also have it's own storm ability activate?

702.39a: Storm is a triggered ability that functions on the stack. "Storm" means "When you cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each other spell that was cast before it this turn. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for any of the copies."

With {wild ricochet}, you target a spell on the stack. This means it is already cast, storm has already triggered by that time.

More importantly, the copy is not Cast, so storm will not trigger.  It's simply added to the stack.  The original spell is also not being recast, so it's storm trigger resolves as normal.

If storm didn't say cast one storm spell goes infinite off itself, and we couldn't have that
