Storm Entity

A storm payoff that pays in stats instead of copies. Where storm counts your prior casts to replicate an effect, this counts the same chain and converts it into raw size, arriving with haste to swing for the whole total immediately. The count locks the instant it enters, so it wants to be the last spell in a long turn, not the first: run your cantrips and rituals, then drop a body that has already become a finisher and attacks before the opponent untaps. The tension lives in that ordering. Cast on an empty turn for two mana, it is a 1/1 with nothing behind it, one of the more conditional bodies red has printed; the counters only accrue after a turn's worth of cheap spells are cast, and even then your reach caps at whatever count you can assemble before mana runs out. It rewards exactly what spell-chain enablers want (low curve, mana that refills, spells that draw more spells), and because its enters-with ability ignores itself while the game's storm count does not, casting it still raises the storm count for anything you fire off afterward. The result is a creature that turns a spell-density engine into a clock rather than a kill, a quieter answer to what such a deck does on the turns it would rather attack than combo.
