Over the horizon a creature strides, mana rampant in its wake. Beasts and magics from all across the multiverse spring into existence around it in a deafening roar of might and sorcery. The Maelstrom Wanderer marches, and it brings overwhelming force against all who would stand against it.

Core Philosophy

The Maelstrom Shuffle is all about using Maelstrom Wanderer to cheat out massive spells. While no slouch in his own right, the Wanderer becomes amazing when given suitably large spells to cascade into, which is why the deck leans heavily in the direction of 5-7 CMC cards. Get the most bang for your buck!

Playing along with these theme of using big cards, the deck has a number of things that care about card CMC and become good, if not outright amazing, at CMC 5+. Scry away, stack your deck, and unleash hell.

Weaknesses

As with all Temur decks, hard removal is a bit of a problem. There are a few counterspells, some burn, and some bounce, but permanent and definite problem solving isn't something the deck has. Your goal is to win with overwhelming force anyways. Don't be afraid to let other players do their thing. It's commander, somebody's gonna have an answer. Just make sure you have the most things that need answering and you'll do fine.
