by Vitenka:

Abusing my sets low number to make an obvious card.

by Alex:

Heh. If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's by card number, not set number.

Also, sadly that wording won't work. It'd be like "Target spell has Buyback {4} ". It's too late for it to happen - that happens at casting time.

You could still say "Copy target spell for each other spell cast this turn", though.

by dude1818:

Did you base this off my card Sudden Storm?

by Vitenka:

I did indeed. Now links to Sudden Storm that don't specify cardset will get this one :) (Or, well, they won't because of what Alex said, but.)

This name, should do this, and nothing but this.

And yeah - I changed the reminder text so that it does work :)

by Jack V:

Ideally it would be "U. Instant. Split second. Storm," but even I agree that's a little useless :)

by jmgariepy:

If you wanted, you could make this say "The next spell cast this turn has storm". I know that's not the flavor, though...

by jmgariepy:

Oh, and what happens if you target a Giant Octopus with this?

by Vitenka:

Right now? You get lots of giant octopus spells (in case you want to count them or something) and then all of them that aren't attached to the card go away and only one manages to persist as a creature.

Which is a shame, and should be changed so that you get that many tokens; but never mind.

Thinking of; I guess they could clear up the wording with reminder text along the lines of "Permanent types have an implicit 'summon'. 'Summon' means 'Put this card onto the battlefield.' "

by Mandroid:

The reminder text doesn't help because Storm triggers upon casting the spell. By the time you can respond it's too late.

It should say 'Copy target spell for each spell already cast this turn.'

And if you want to be able to copy permanents on the stack it should say 'If target spell is an Instant or Sorcery copy it for each spell already cast this turn. Otherwise, put a token into play which is a copy of target spell for each spell already cast this turn.'

'Choose one -- Copy target Instant or Sorcery for each spell already cast this turn, or put a token into play which is a copy of target permanent for each spell already cast this turn'
