Null Rod is very good storm hate in addition to counterspells. It has plenty of use; it's effective also against miracles (or Top in general), painter, equipments, vial decks, MUD and even some more fringe decks like Turbo eldrazi, UB Tezz and affinity.

Postboard I have 12 counters and a Stifle, 2 Rods and 0-2 grave hate. Wasteland is also relevant against storm.
