why anyone would want to copy this card is beyond me.

Sounds like it should be the name of a black metal band. "Good evening Helsinki... ve are Dragonstörm und this song is called Agonizing Memories, from our newest album, Lord of the Pit..." DUH dukka DUH dukka DAAAAAH...

Amazingly fun game-winner. Unfortunately hard to use against thoughtsieze, among many other things. However, I've dealt 60+ damage turn 3 many times, and it can be 1st turn, so still very cool.

On all the printings of this, people have left a comment of how amazingly they used this card early game, but they don't actually say how they did it.

Mountain, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Dragonstorm would come to my head as the most obvious way someone would cast this first turn, resulting in 5 dragons from your deck being put out. Also leaves you enough mana for a Mass Hysteria for the first turn kill. Very unlikely though. That's why its best to think of how cards play in an average scenario, rather than their best case scenario.

The best counter to this card is making your opponent shuffle after playing each dragon.

Actually the quick kill combo with this is Mountain, Rite of Flamex3, Seething Song,Dragonstorm.Then you go grab 4 Bogardan Hellkite. And obviously target all 20 damage at your opponent.

Awesome. Fast mana spells are out of Magic, most likely for good, because of this card, it's that good. Dark Ritual? 'Too Powerful'. Seething Song? It's first time in a core set was it's last time. Rite of Flame? No way that's comming back. The only fast mana remotely possible now are 3 for 2 spells and Simian Spirit Guide-type 1 mana producers.

Originally printed as a creature named Crow Storm which was taken out of print after Alpha.

amazing, but expensive.

In a deck built around it, this card pretty much says "you win the game". The highly flexible cost helps a lot too, and makes it even easier to play in, say, EDH decks with Scion of the Ur-Dragon as your commander.

With Artificial Evolution you can turn this into Fungustorm! Or better, Avatarstorm! How about Elderdragonstorm?

A3Kitsune- their solution was quite elegant: Stop printing Dragonstorm, keep printing Fast Mana, in JUST Red, which is a color which doesn't have much you want to Ramp To- most of the best things in Red are CMC 5 or less. Dark Ritual is OUT of Standard for Good, because they always want to make cool Demons. But they have no problem making Red Dark Rituals, or very nearly, because they're steering clear of making Dragons as great and powerful as Angels or Demons.
