Ruling help!!!!!

OK I have an issue.. I have been trying to find a more detailed ruling for Scourage of Valkas and Dragonstorm combo. Since I am unsure on exact details I have been letting it play as such:

Dstorm for 2. Valkas comes out no dragons but him=1 dmg. then my 1st storm kicks giving me 2 total dragons =2dmg and then the final will make it 3 dmg.

Am I right on my way of thinking how this works or does it work a different way?
Would all the dragons I storm come out in one shot then valkas triggers for each one???

Thanks for any help yall!!!

I think you are correct, consider storm copies the spell for your storm count, and each copy is independent on the stack. Each instance of the spell resolves separately and the dragons are put onto the field one at a time.

Valkas enters, etb triggers, deals 1 damage.
Two dragonstorms still on the stack.
Next dragonstorm resolves, second dragon enters
Valkas triggers, deals 2 more damage.
Last dragonstorm resolves, third dragon enters
Valkas triggers, deals 3 more damage.
6 damage total, if they all enter separately, which the ruling on storm implies.
I hope that fully settles the confusion. :)

Just a minor correction on this. The Storm copies will actually resolve before the physical copy of the card. It's not super relevent to this situation since there aren't targets but still worth noting.

Dragon #2 should be Utvara Hellkite and #3 should be Karrthus... For the lols. Once you attack with your hasty dragons, you'd get three 6/6 dragon tokens all at once which would trigger the Scourge three times and each deal 6 damage for an additional 18.

Ah right, because the storm copies are placed on the stack after the original. Thanks :)

And that's just mean... I believe it is time for me to make a dragonstorm deck now.
