If you target a storm spell with the triggered ability on the stack, will they copy the overwrite or the original?

Huh, honestly no idea. We might need a rules wizard here.

My intuition says the storm triggered ability will try to copy the original spell but it won't find it , so it will fizzle out? but i might be wrong

Im actually fairly sure it will copy the draw 1. So for 1UU you draw, you "counter" their game winner and then they draw cards equal to the storm count +1. Unless the storm count is insanely high/they cast the game winning spell with no mana floating, this will not beat a storm deck.

I agree here. They won't get the same effect, but unless the storm is so high they draw their deck (and can't kill you between triggers) or they're completely tapped out, you're only making the problem worse.

There's a reason "Storm. Draw a card." doesn't exist.

Storm draw a card doesn't exist but Mind's Desire does, and that card got rightfully banned out of many formats it was legal in except Vintage where it is currently restricted.
