• Apr 4, 2025 A 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.
• Apr 4, 2025 A resolving copy of a permanent spell becomes a token. That token isn’t “created” and won’t interact with abilities that care about tokens being created.
• Apr 4, 2025 Spells cast from zones other than a player’s hand and spells that were countered or otherwise failed to resolve are counted by the storm ability.
• Apr 4, 2025 The 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.
• Apr 4, 2025 The 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.

Tempest Technique has been reprinted 2 times. The Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander reprint cut the price 60% in 30 days.
