the copies put on the stack with the replicate ability do not count as "played" and as such also do not count towards the triggered ability storm, am i right?
otherwise this would work nicely with such cards...

the copy's do count as different spells and may be countered as such. and yes they trigger storm...

This seems to make Twiddle rather pointless, neh?

And Twiddle allows you to untap a permanent instead, while Gigadrowse doesn't. Flexibility = goodness.

This card has so much flexibility! Need to stop your opponent from counterspelling something? Tap their lands during the end step! Need to delay your opponent's game-ending offensive? Tap their creatures! Want a really expensive Silence? Tap the opponent's lands during his or her upkeep! And so much more!

Good times.

The copies do not trigger storm, but do go on the stack and can be countered. The copies don't trigger storm since they are never cast: they are just put on the stack.

I love this card. It's great to be able to just tap all an opponent's blockers and land, and charge in for the kill.

Im not sure, as the oracle's does say cast while the card says play, even relatively new cards that does 'stick' like effects say 'play the imprinted card' so im not really sure, anyway doing that is abusive, you can tap all your opponent's creatures every turn in mid/late game. Add some draw engine and its gg.

Ugh, Gigadrowse on a stick can be replicated. God I *** hate sticks.

I like how the interaction between this and Dreadship Reef/Calciform Pools mattered when they were in standard.

"End of turn, I tap all your blue sources." :)

I called Wizards twice concerning replicate and Storm, one time being put on hold so the judge could double-check it. Replicate DOES NOT count toward a storm stack.

Use this and boomerang in a land destruction deck for some added control.

Wow, I took this card like "Awesome, I get to tap my opponents dudes" and then I was sittin on the toilet and I thought of lands and it got so much cooler.

Flavourful name for a strictly utilitarian branch of card types.

Definitely the best of the Replicate spells.

To "play" a card means to cast a spell, or to use the "play a land" action. Replicate does neither: It puts the copies directly onto the stack without ever actually casting them. That's why it doesn't contribute to storm.

All of the Replicate cards LOOK awesome. This one of the sweet few that deliver on expectations, even sometimes exceeding them. (See: 'the moment Johnny discovered a land is a permanent') This card is likely the reason we have so many 'nonland' clauses on cards nowadays :p

This card is so gangster. Tap creatures, tap lands during upkeep, lockdown.

I love tapping lands with this. Replicate is icing on the cake. Excellent tempo card.
