This + Hive Mind + Scattershot or a similar card = Mayhem :P

@Pure_chaos: Actually, storm spells function perfectly with eye of the storm since the copies from storm spells aren't cast, just put onto the stack. Eye of the storm only checks for spells being cast and couldn't care less if you stormed a million copies onto the stack, it would still just exile the original.
I'd probably suggest playing this card with something to discourage your opponents from playing spells, as that'd prevent them from messing things up by making more use of it than you. Besides, those kinds of enchantments/whatever act like a removal-magnet, making them waste their naturalises/disenchants before you get out eye of the storm.
This is, of course, unless you run infinite combos like cascade that can only hit instants or sorceries (deckbuilding choice) or spellshift.

This is one of my favorite cards. I have a green-blue deck with a spash of red. 0 creatures in the deck. I use instants that give me critters like scatter the seeds and research/development. With the split card I only have to pay the cheap cost of research to get the card on the eye then cast development. I also use storm cards. The storm activates when you play the card, then after you play the storm card again from the eye.
I remember pulling this card out during standard back in the day and making a flow chart during a tournament to keep track of everything.
I also love how anything cast with an x as a cost is 0 when played.
early harvest works to keep mana flowing and to help get the card cast by turn 4

@Quoi & Osuasheuatl: you can't cast two counterspell targeting each other, because you have to cast the first counterspell targeting something (that isn't itself) and without legal target you can't cast a spell. The legal targets are checked both at the casting and the resolution of the spell.
Totally agree with JackofAntioch, and second everything Guest1515099206 said! This is so much fun and chaos card that I think is my favourite card of the whole game, maybe second only to Djinn Illuminatus. I would love to see it as a UR card, maybe at a CMC6, because 7 is a little too much. However, again, I love it!
5/5

That's how it works:
1) I play Eye of the Storm.
2) I play Staggershock.
-Staggershock gets exiled because of Eye of the Storm
-The rebound ability doesn' works, because it happens as Staggershock resolves.
-I get a free copy of it from Eye of the Storm (note that, since this copy of the Staggershock wasn't played from my hand, I haven'... (see all)

OK so I have built a deck which abuses this card in a VERY sick way and I thought I'd share it here. The deck utilizes the new cards from innistrad "runic repetition" and "Bump in the night" and well as several other cards with flashback. Just to be evil I also threw in a Dark ritual to make the combo infinite. It works similarly to the "Burning wish" combo but it runs a lot more smoothly as a black/blue deck thanks to cards like tutor and the black "Increasing" card from Dark Ascension that does the same thing. Basicly you play "eye of the storm" first then you need to play "bump in the night" and "runic repetition" eye of the Storm will exile Bump in the night when it is cast and then put a copy on the stack, then runic repetition gets the copy of bump in the night back for you but you still exiled a copy so a copy of bump in the night still gets added to the stack. (Eye says copy every spell exiled with eye of the sto... (see all)

@averyck
This actually interacts with Knowledge Pool in an awesome way. They both have triggered exile effects controlled by you (assuming you played them both) and since a spell cannot be exiled by two effects, only one of them resolves. Thus, you can have your own personal eye of the storm while everyone else fiddles around in the knowledge pool (or vice versa).

DavidLopes, this is for you, my friend. Also for littleteapot, short and stout. And maybe Zulp, you seem confused.
When you first cast a spell (of the instant and sorcery variety) with this in play, it gets exiled. That's step one. Imagine it floating around in this big swirly storm (a big ball of timey-wimey stuff, if you will). Now, right away, you get a copy of that spell you just played! For free! Isn't that nice? So it's sort of like if you just played it straight up.
The fun starts when you start casting more spells, though. The second spell you play gets- guess what-exiled. It's now floating around up there with the first spell. Then, you get to cast the first spell again, for free! And then, you get to cast the second spell! For free!
I think you can see where this is going. Eventually, you'll have stored up quite a stockpile of cards out
there, and assuming some of them are burn- or, say, Time Stretch (or, for a lesser punch, you can do the Ti... (see all)

I play an EDH group hug ( brawl ) deck w/ this and hive mind.
One guy I played against was using a wall n' stall deck and said it was an unfun combo because it slowed down the game
he was serious too
