I'll be testing it in Thraximundar - one sac effect adds 2 +1/+1 counters and with Fatestitcher can use it twice
You can also get 2 sacrifices out of him (may be even better).
Good ETB creatures without DEN (say you are not in Blue) can double down with this.
For the decks I play this card is squarely in the "win-more" category, and since it's 2 + tap instead of 2: I don't see myself trying to break it either.

Can this work for Epic spells? It includes an at, but for the Epic portion itself.. So I'm not sure.
Yes; at the beginning of each upkeep, a triggered ability triggers, allowing you to create a copy of Enduring Ideal/whatever on the stack. You can double that trigger to create two copies. You do have to pay for it every turn, though.

Generally with a Epic your looking for on the board mana sinks.. so, this needs to go into Zedruu me thinks.

I think a better thread would be "cards that don't work with Strionic Resonator". I swear this card seems to work with more cards than it doesn't. I may have to try this a give.
I am super excited for this card. Copy your terastodon ETB and give elephants to everyone!!! Or maybe copy rune-scarred demon's ETB and double tutor. Double up sheoldred's sac or reanimation ability, you can even get really janky by using it in conjunction with mimic vat to copy something like Grave Titan's ETB effect. Making six 2/2 zombies every single turn for 5 mana doesn't seem too bad...
Does anyone have any cheesy combo ideas with this card? Such as eternal witness, time warp, and cyclonic rift. I tend to avoid 4-card combos but considering that all those cards are pretty much staples in their colors, you're certainly not diluting your deck by putting them in.
If someone drops it with Thragtusk in my playgroup I'm going to flip the table.
In all seriousness though this card has the potential to be broken. The titans, Kamigawa's Kirin spirits & all the new primordials are just waiting for this card to hit the table.
I'm skeptical, this will be at its absolute best with "when this attacks" upkeep, or death triggers, but cast and etb triggers costing 2 more is honestly a heck of a lot. Don't get me wrong, I want my Maelstrom Wanderer to read Cascade Cascade Cascade really badly, but that's a 10 mana commander. Drastically different.
Perhaps you should just send WOTC a resume and tell them why you're better at Magic than one of their employees instead of complaining here, where nobody really has any authority on the matter.
So, if you have storm count 6, does a Strionic Grapeshot do 8 damage or 13 damage?

Even though the text on the card says "When gemstone mine comes into play. put three mining counters on it"? So this "when" situation doesnt count as a triggered ability?

That's only the old version, you should always check the oracle text on a card to get the most up-to-date wording.
The oracle text is "gemstone mine enters the battlefield with 3 mining counters on it." It doesn't work with strionic resonator.
i tried to make this thing work in several edh decks. when i had the mana to activate it, it felt like win more. most of the time i didn't have the mana activate it.
^^^ Came here to say that. Brago goes infinite with it, so infinite ETB triggers from the rest of your dudes. Comes in handy with about anything else in that deck.
Yes it does. Have fun really abusing BBE....

consecrated sphinx - pretty popular I've been told
How does it work with possibility storm? Do you get two spells instead of one? Like wise eye of the storm
forced fruition could be fun
silent-blade oni also seems pretty good
jace, architect of thought+1 creatures get -2 to attack
lorthos, the tidemaker - pay 10 tap 16 permenants, copy it with rings for more fun
avenger of zendikar - lots of tokens
mirko vosk- lots of mill
bitter ordeal - lots of exile
Any of the legendary dragons - intet, darigaaz etc.
hellkite charger - easier attack steps
Any spirit dragon from kamigawa
lord of the void - all of the things
phyrexian obliterator - go on attack me, I dare you
ruric thar, the unbowed - feel free to board wipe - take 12
wild pair
All seem good

You double the storm.
original GS + 6 copies (original storm) + 6 copies (SR storm) = 13 damage.
