- WWizards of the Coast2022-12-08Official RulingSpells cast from zones other than a player's hand and spells that were countered are counted by the storm ability.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-12-08Official RulingThe copies are put directly onto the stack. They aren't cast and won't be counted by other spells with storm cast later in the turn.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-12-08Official RulingA copy of a spell can be countered like any other spell, but it must be countered individually. Countering a spell with storm won't affect the copies.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-12-08Official RulingThe triggered ability that creates the copies can itself be countered by anything that can counter a triggered ability. If it is countered, no copies will be put onto the stack.

Beyond permission spells, the Pauper format has a limited number of answers to storm spells such as Empty the Warrens and Grapeshot. Statistically speaking, they are not sufficient to support a diverse competitive metagame. Source: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/latest-developments/rapid-hybrid-ization-2013-02-01
