702.40a

Storm is a triggered ability that functions on the stack. “Storm” means “When you cast this spell, copy it for each other spell that was cast before it this turn. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for any of the copies.”

702.40

Storm

702.40b

If a spell has multiple instances of storm, each triggers separately.

702.103d

When casting a spell bestowed, only its characteristics as modified by the bestow ability are evaluated to determine if it can be cast.

Rulings

2018-07-13

If the copied artifact is copying something else (for example, if the copied artifact is a Sculpting Steel), then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that artifact copied.

2018-07-13

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original artifact and nothing else (unless that artifact is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that artifact is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its types, color, or so on.

2018-07-13

Each Storm's triggered ability can copy the Storm spell even if that spell is countered before that ability resolves.

2018-07-13

The copies are created on the stack, so they're not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell (such as the Storm's ability itself) won't trigger.

2018-07-13

If the copied artifact is a token, the token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created the token.

2018-07-13

Each copy resolves one at a time. Any abilities that trigger on the artifact token entering the battlefield resolve before the next copy resolves. The original spell is the last to resolve.

2018-07-13

If the copied artifact has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

2018-07-13

Each Storm's triggered ability counts only how many times you've cast your commander from the command zone before that triggered ability resolves. If you cast your commander again later, you won't get another copy.

2018-07-13

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied artifact will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this artifact] enters the battlefield” or “[this artifact] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the chosen artifact will also work.

2018-07-13

If your commander was countered, that time you cast it still counts.

2018-10-05

If you have multiple commanders, you'll copy this spell for each time you've cast either of them. For example, if you've cast one commander once and one twice, you'll copy this spell three times.
