Rationale
4cmc black sorcery dealing 2 damage and gaining 2 life per target. Storm copies the spell for each prior spell cast this turn. THE namesake storm finisher — in pure storm combo shells, storm count routinely reaches 10+ copies, dealing 20+ damage and gaining 20+ life. Signature defining card for the storm archetype. Requires high spell density and typically used alongside rituals and cantrips to build storm count.
