Deck discussion for Zada: Token, Pump, Storm?!?

FYI, Zada's copied spells, or most spell copy effects for that matter, do not count towards Storm. Storm only counts cards cast, and copies normally aren't cast. There are a few exceptions to this rule. One in particular is Isochron Scepter, which specifically says you cast the copy. But the vast majority of copied spells do not count towards Storm.

Similarly, if a storm card gets copied, the copy won't make more off its own Storm as you didn't cast it.

Storm (When you CAST this spell, copy it for each spell CAST before it this turn.)

That's all fair. That's why it has the question marks.

It's mostly a token combo deck it can storm out though. Not through the copied spells, but through drawing a bunch producing a bunch of mana and then hard casting a bunch of cheap spells. granted usually instead of hitting the storm payload you'd just win some other way... usually Fiery Gambit.

Thanks for the info though, sorry I didn't respond sooner.

Copied spells + the Storm mechanic is a common point of confusion. I ran a mono red Dragonstorm deck before Modern existed, so I looked up the rulings to see how I could manipulate them in my favour. If memory serves, there's a few copy effects that do add to a storm count, unless they've been errata'd since I last looked into it. I haven't played the deck since Seething Song got banned...
