I was pondering what sort of storm card wizards could “safely” produce in the commander decks and I came up with the following.
Ruin Realized
Sorcery
Ruin Realized deals 1 damage to each creature.
Storm
Fevered Excavation
Sorcery
Exile a random card from your graveyard. You may cast noncreature spells exiled in this way this turn. If a card exiled in this way would be put into a graveyard this turn, exile it instead.
Storm
faulty workmanship its almost certainly safe. Though possibly too strong at that cost. While ruin realized could also be safe its cost is a lot harder to speculate.
While fevered excavation is flat out broken. Its almost the ultimate storm enabler.
Fevered Excavation is still broken as anything, and the perfect storm extender. It's like Mind's Desire but cheaper and you know exactly what you're getting. It basically just doubles your storm count.
I don't really like Fevered Excavation. It's pretty much useless outside of ritual/ infinite mana storm decks, but it's insanely broken in those decks. The fact that it makes you pay for the spells doesn't really balance it at all. Nor does the Exile cost, because you can still play a faithless looting from your graveyard and put two new cards in there.
A fixed version may not even be possible. It should self exile, and have the Yawg's Will drawback tacked on at the very least. But it would still be broken for one deck (that is already broken) and completely unplayable elsewhere.

The first and last are pretty safe. The middle one can get kind of crazy at times but it seems like the sort of thing wizards would experiment with.

edit: also buffed the cmc on workmanship.
