Gravestorm is a triggered keyword ability. It's similar to storm, except that instead of counting the number of spells casted that turn, it counts the number of permanents put into a graveyard from the battlefield that turn.
Description
Gravestorm was introduced in Future Sight and for a long time had only been printed on that one card, the timeshifted Bitter Ordeal. According to Mark Rosewater, it was unlikely to be reused, since it is having the same problems as storm.[1][2]
During design, the mechanic was called Deathstorm.[3]
Gravestorm eventually made a return in the Murders at Karlov Manor Commander card Follow the Bodies.
