A.35 - Storm


Return to Rules Index

A.35.1- The ability is written "Storm".

Top

A.35.2- The ability means "When you play this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each other spell that was played before it this turn. If the spell has targets, you may choose new targets for any number of the copies." [CompRules 2003/04/30]

Top

A.35.3- The number of copies is determined when this spell is played (announced) and only counts spells played (announced) before it was. Ones placed on the stack afterwards do not change this. [CompRules 2003/04/30]

Top

A.35.4- The copies are put onto the stack directly. They are not "played" and do not trigger abilities that trigger on something being played. [CompRules 2003/04/30] This makes it so the Storm ability itself will not trigger on the copies being put on the stack. [DeLaney 2003/06/14]

Top

A.35.5- When counting spells, you count ones played by every player, including ones that were played from zones other than a player's hand. [CompRules 2003/04/30] You do not count lands being played, any abilities that were played, any spells put onto the stack without playing them, or any cards put into play by the effect of a spell or ability. [D'Angelo 2003/06/07]

A.35.Ruling.1- Spell copies can be countered and otherwise affected just like any other spell. [CompRules 2003/04/30]

Top

A.35.Ruling.2- When you play a spell with Storm, the Storm ability triggers and this ability is put onto the stack. Players can respond by playing other spells and abilities before this ability resolves. When the Storm ability resolves, it puts the copies onto the stack. [D'Angelo 2003/06/07]
