That first ability is pretty neat, but the second ability is extremely niche, and "storm count" has no rules meaning that I'm aware of. Is that a mechanic from this set?

I'm gonna have ALOT of alternate casting in this set, and even more if I end up making that Grey Mana set im hyping up terribly.

The second one is quite useful im sure, but not to everyone, but in a certain deck for sure (its not super niche, instants sorceries is quite a broad and long-supported theme). Storm count just means the number of instant or sorcery spells you've cast this turn. I heard it somewhere, and put it here to shorten the card. It might not be official, but it's part of the Storm mechanic.

This set probs wont feature storm, but it does have a small blue red instant sorceries theme

edit: said mechanic, meant set, thanks loud talking people at lunch >:(
