Mordor on the March

Sorcery3 generic manaBlack manaRed mana

Storm on a reanimation spell is a strange marriage, because the two mechanics reward opposite build patterns: Storm wants a cheap chain of spells cast in one turn, while graveyard toolbox effects usually want you to grind and dig. Fusing them turns the copy count into the payload. Each Storm copy exiles its own creature card from your graveyard and stamps out a hasty token, so a modest count on the fifth spell of the turn can empty a stocked graveyard onto the battlefield in one motion, every body swinging immediately. The end-step exile clause keeps this a single decisive burst rather than a permanent army: these are attackers for exactly one combat, not reanimation targets you keep around. That framing steers the card away from grindy value and toward the alpha strike. The engine has to be fed on both ends at once, which is the real constraint: three copies want three distinct creature cards waiting in the graveyard, so the token count is capped by whichever runs out first, spells cast this turn or bodies to exile. That double dependency sets it apart from a plain mass-reanimation spell, where the graveyard's contents alone set the ceiling. Here you have to build the count and stock the yard, then time the cast so both numbers peak together. It is a finisher wearing a value spell's clothes, and the haste on every token is the tell that it was built to end the game the turn it resolves.
