Possibility Storm

Will someone please tell me what in the world is going on with this card, errata included?

Here is how I am currently reading it: Every permanent-spell without ETB/LeavingTB triggers is rendered useless, allowing only sorceries and instants to make any real sense. On pure assumption, I believe if there is not another spell of that  type in the player's library, they still return the exiled cards to the bottom.
Keeping new creatures/enchantments/artifcats from staying in play seems way too powerful for just five mana in a single color.

What does this actually do?

remember everything is a spell when its on the stack. let me break it into steps

1)cast any type of spell (types are: instant, sorcery, creature, artifact, plainswalker, enchantment (land is also a type but is not a spell)

2) once cast the storm triggers.

3) the strom trigger resolves first moving the spell from the stack to the exile zone(the spell will never resolve)

4) you then reveal (by moving cards faceup from library to exile zone) cards until you reveal a card of the same type you exiled. so if you were casting an artifact you reveal until you find an artifact, if you were casting a creature you look for a creature, cast an instant you look for an instant

5) assuming you found a card of the same type you cast it for free (normal for free stuff applies)

6) if you did not find another card of that type(ex. it was the only artifact in your deck) or you cast what you found. take everything you revealed plus the orignal spell shuffle them together and put them on the bottom of your library.

7) the storm is now finished and the spell you found and cast goes on the stack

does that clear it up,
essentially its a gamble card, you cast a spell but other then type you dont know what your getting, you can cast a tundra wolf and end up getting an eldrazi, or vice versa

Okay, that is making sense. The only hazy part I have is the found spell not being shuffled into the library, for was it not also exiled by Possibility Storm?

simple reason, cards are cards in the exile zzone and spells on the stack
once cast (from exile)the found card is put on the stack where its a spell. the storm returns cards not spells

Alright, that was the piece that I was missing. Thank you for walking me through this one. It is greatly appreciated
