Casual player making his first edh deck from scratch.
If I have possibilty storm in play, and I play a card from hand with an etb, does it trigger?
Let's say that card has cascade, and it Cascades a card with an etb. Does that trigger?
Thanks!

Please use card tags in this forum when asking a question!
Possibility Storm
Not quite sure what you're asking here. Do you mean, for example, if you cast a
Wall of Omens while controlling
Possibility Storm? What happens in this case is the WoO spell is exiled from the stack, and you then exile cards from your library until you exile a creature card, which you may cast without paying its mana cost, then put all the exiled cards including the Wall on the bottom of your library randomized. A permanent spell cast from your hand will never enter the battlefield in this instance unless the triggered ability of PS doesn't resolve somehow, so you will not draw a card from WoO's ability, because that ability will never trigger.
If you cast
Ardent Plea, meanwhile, you will do two things: Exile from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with mana value 2 or less, may cast that without paying its mana cost, and put the other exiled cards on the bottom of your library randomized, as per the Plea's cascade ability, and do the Possibility thing as described above but for enchantments. The order you do these in depends on the order you choose to put the triggered abilities on the stack, because, critically, they both have the same trigger: Casting a spell.

Okay, so initial card doesn't enter because it exiles first.
Does the card that replaces it trigger when it is played from exile? I suppose what I'm asking is, does a card played from exile etb? What if I play a card from exile in response to
Possibility Storm and that card is
Wall of Omens ? Do I draw a card when playing it from exile?
Thanks.

Follow up...
If I am playing
Rocco, Street Chef and I flip over
Young Red Dragon // Bathe in Gold to play from exile, can I play the adventure or the creature?
Thanks.

Still not 100% sure what you're asking. Once a permanent spell cast from
anywhere resolves, the permanent it becomes enters the battlefield and any relevant "Enters the battlefield" abilities trigger. If you had cast a
Grizzly Bears with
Possibility Storm out, and then you exiled a
Wall of Omens with the Storm, the Wall would enter the battlefield upon resolving.
Yes, you can play either half of a split card, Adventure-having permanent, or modal DFC if you exile it with Rocco.
