Forking Storm

[asmoranomardicodais]

Hey, I was wondering if I fork a card with storm, do I get all the random storm copies that the storm abiliity makes? Someone told me I didn't, because storm says play this spell and fork just puts a copy on the stack, but I think that's BS. Anyway, what do you think?

If it was "put a copy on the stack" all storm spells would automatically go infinite. It is "play."

Storm (When you play this spell, copy it for each spell played before it this turn. You may choose new targets for the copies.)

Wow, you replied quick. Okay, I assumed storm said non-copies. Oh well, Fork should still work, whether or not it really does.

Forking a spell with storm will not get you storm copies. Fork puts a copy of the targeted spell on the stack. Storm triggers when you play the spell. Since you are not playing the copy, but rather merely putting it on the stack, storm will not trigger.
