Dear friends , tell me please what the best cards for storm in cube?
That i know: brain freeze, tendrils of agony, empty the warrens.
But how to build my cube for Storm archetype. What card in ?
I want them doing anything themselves. or show me storm draft? thanx
I've never tried supporting it, because it tends to be a parasitic archetype, but quite a few people on this forum have. Storm does seem to be like catnip to a lot of Magic players, so you might as well give it a shot. There's a pretty good thread in Card & Archetype Discussion on supporting storm combo here that I'm sure you'll find helpful.

I love drafting Storm, Dampen Thought, etc. whenever I'm in a format conducive to those decks, and I've jammed various Storm packages into my cube as long as I've had a cube.
The thing is - it's terrible.
Singleton means that even while you need to load enough cards into a cube for 22-24 Storm playables (plus lands) to be available to the Storm drafter to have a usable deck, they're still not going to succeed in Storming off most of the time. And at the same time, every other drafter gets laden down with junk Storm cards that their decks don't want, so their decks don't really work either.
It's a very negative drafting experience to nearly everyone at the table, and really shifts the cube drafting experience from "Drafting a constructed-power-level deck with sweet cards" to "Scrambling to try to cobble 23 asynergistic but playable cards together" much more like retail limited.
I'm at the point where the only Storm cards I'm including are Empty the Warrens (due to a relatively playable Worst Case Scenario) and Mind's Desire (because it's just goofy fun). (And I'd still endorse Reaping the Graves in a Pauper/peasant/midrangey cube, but just because it's often a sweet 3-mana 3-for-1.) Beyond that, I'm still including fast mana, draw-7s, cantrips, LED and Tutors for anyone interested in drafting that style deck, but leaving those decks to win by resolving more broadly usable fatties or 2-3 card combos.
