I had this in a deck until my brain got too hurts from it. Ow.

I have a technical question about this card. A few weeks ago I was playing my Dream Halls/ Conflux combo deck (which happens to include two or three copies of Eye of the Storm) against a friend in a casual game. He had a powerful creature in play and was all set to win on his next turn (I had no creatures in play). My Eye of the Storm had a Cruel Ultimatum on it, and he had less than 5 life. At first I wanted to cast a counterspell with no target and have that trigger the Ultimatum, but he said I couldn't do that, as there had to be a spell already on the stack for a counterspell to be legally cast, so I tried to cast two counterspells, targeting each other, and trigger the Ultimatum twice. Was any of that the least bit legal? Normally I'm good at interpreting the stack and other complex aspects of gameplay but this card generates tons of issues like this.

How does this work with other things that exile the spell, specifically Rebound and Buyback? My understanding is this: Spell A has Rebound Staggershock, Spell B has buyback Capsize.
1) I play Eye of the Storm.
2) I play Staggershock.
-Staggershock gets exiled because of Eye of the Storm
-Staggershock gets exiled because of Rebound
-I get a free copy of it from Eye of the Storm
3) I play Capsize, with the buyback.
-Capsize gets put back into my hand because of the buyback
-Capsize goes into the Eye
-I get a free Staggershock from the Eye
-Staggershock #2 goes on rebound
-I get a Capsize from the Eye, and I bounce a thing.
4) Next turn: I get 2 free Staggershocks from Rebound
5) I play Capsize again for 6 with the buyback.
-Capsize goes back into my hand (The real one!)
-Capsize #2 goes on Eye of the Storm
-I get Staggershock, ... (see all)

Fact: Playing this card in your deck in a multiplayer game makes you a douchebag. I immediately scoop multiplayer games if this hits the board. This card makes the game take forever, and is just incredibly obnoxious to play with.

Storm does not work with eye of the storm. It states when you play an instant or sorcery remove the card and you may play the all removed cards without paying the mana cost. It would remove the copies so they don't exist and they wouldn't trigger eye of the storm.

If you counter a spell while this is out, does the effect still trigger?

Amusing combo: Since you don't have to cast the copies, you can use this to pile up a whole bunch of epic spells, then cast them all at once.

Of course, you'd have to find some way to make sure your opponent doesn't benefit from all those epic spells, too.
