Like how the fuck can there not be any way to actually combat Storm? We don't have a silver bullet. We just have MD cards that we try to increase the number of hoping that that's enough.
Storm isn't a great matchup but is very winnable. You want to knock them off balance with early discard and then stick a Liliana, which wins given enough time. This is a matchup where I love having Duress in the SB to complement TS/Hymn. Surgical is also fantastic when coupled with discard. I've had Storm players scoop to Surgical on Infernal Tutor.

For permanent-based hate, Null Rod, Pyrostatic Pillar, Thorn of Amethyst, Phyrexian Revoker, Trinisphere, and Grafdigger's Cage (shuts off PiF) are all options.
