After some testing... —July 25, 2018
So, after doing some semi-strenuous casual deck testing, it appeared to me that I was missing some control. As a combo deck which is fairly reliable given the amount of cascade cards I run, and considering the ability of being able to cast it whenever I want given whatever matchup I'm in, I believe it is important to be able to offer a smaller degree of control of my opponents board. In my testing list (which I will link to those interested), I am running 2x To the Slaughter, 2x Detention Sphere, 2x Anger of the Gods and 1x Mardu Charm, but as I have not yet reconstructed my mana base, it is hard to see the effects. I figured that in order to perfect this deck, I have to cut out a color. I've been working with different control cards and weighing my options. Currently it's between blue and black. Blue offers me Ardent Plea and March of the Machines as well as some counter cards in the side, and Black offers me Demonic Dread, Nihilith, and also some sideboard removal like To the Slaughter and Dissmember. I will let you all know what I decide, when I decide.
