5-Color cascade tribal deck with the potential to cascade 6 times off of a single spell (and each of those cascades could hit another cascade spell). This deck is a lot of fun without being mean. It's mostly a budget brew (and some cards I had) so some of the ways to make this deck better if you are interested is to speed up the mana base a lot (most of the mana-fixing is through tricolor tap lands), add some counters (I decided against them as many of the counters I would want would be modal like Cryptic Command, or large counters that you are unlikely to hit like Not of This World and they tend to be expensive), and perhaps some more 0 costing cards like Living End, Hypergenesis, and Lotus Bloom. As Foretold can also help cast some of those suspend cards.
