Bloodbraid Elf

Creature — Elf Berserker

Haste

Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)

There are so many different types of removal cards/counters in MTG that building your deck around someone with a set of Orcish Bowmasters doesn't make sense. Sideboarding removal like you have works just fine. Pyroclasm and Surgical Extraction work, as well. Orcish Bowmasters is a good card, but it's easily dealt with. With that said, I love the deck. I am building something similar, specifically because I like the idea of Galvanic Discharge.

Also, I would consider dropping the number of Kolaghan's Command to a maximum of 2. I'd keep one in the main deck and maybe sideboard the 2nd? Also, your mana curve is kind of low to consider more than 1 Bloodbraid Elf or anything with a higher cost than 3-mana. Are you trying to make this Budget friendly?

I'd run more removal and cut some of the mid creature threats like Rakdos Roustabout. PRimeval Titan is a good card but not super good in this deck, if you're on a budget I think there are better options for the same price point. Stuff like Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Bloodbraid Elf.

25 lands is a bit heavy, esp since you have mana dorks, 23 seems like a good number to me.

I'd also cut Gaea's Blessing and Manamorphose, they don't really fit the deck.

Definitely go up to 4 bolts, maybe run some Inquisition of Kozilek, 1-2 Angrath's Rampage (better than sheoldred's edict for RB decks since you can kill one rings, and its cheaper too), 1-2 Molten Collapse, 0-1 Maelstrom Pulse etc.

jethstriker i‘m not convinced that legendaries were ever deliberately made to be more powerful because of their inherent drawback - this feels like something that players would intuitively expect to be the case (because it would make sense), but looking through magics history of the strongest cards in formats, we don’t see that to be true - moderns past is littered with staples like Snapcaster Mage, Tarmogoyf, Death's Shadow, Siege Rhino, Arcbound Ravager, Goblin Guide, Bloodbraid Elf, Stinkweed Imp, Fury, Solitude, and Orcish Bowmasters. Yes there’s stuff like Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, but I don’t think there’s enough density/evidence to conclude legendaries are inherently built stronger.

I would also be sceptical of this being the case because it would be weird for Rosewater to be wanting to remove the Legend rule if it served a mechanical purpose

This might be a question for Blogatog?

Would Bloodbraid Elf have a place here as a top curve? Another hasty threat that, if it rolls into Samut, would give an instant 5 damage/draw 2. Lovely deck!

plakjekaas on does paying an activated ability …

Boneyard Scourge has a triggered ability that puts it on the battlefield, that's not casting a spell.

Casting a spell means moving it to the stack, paying the casting cost in the process. Casting spells typically happens from your hand, but there's cards that allow you to cast spells from elsewhere. Cards with Flashback like Angelfire Ignition allow you to cast the spell again from graveyard for an alternative cost. Rivaz of the Claw allows you to do that with any dragon spell, but only once per turn. Spells with Cascade (Bloodbraid Elf ) allow you to cast a spell from exile from the top of your library for free. What these cards all have in common, is their reminder text (italic, in brackets) literally mentions "You may cast". If it says "Return to battlefield" or "Put onto the battlefield" then it's an ability or an effect from another source, but you didn't cast the creature.

Casting Reanimate on a dragon in your graveyard is not casting the dragon. Ebondeath, Dracolich can be cast from your graveyard whenever any other creature died this turn. If you do that with Rivaz in play, thàt one will get exiled if it would die again.

Hope that helps '^^

Probably more worth it to play Atarka's Command over Dromoka's Command. Same cost, but Atarka’s is far more aggressive (3 to face plus +1/+1 to board), and can confirm I’ve died to it from my buddy’s Gruul aggro deck a lot.

Also 23 lands seems a little high for a list that tops out at 3cmc, probably fit a couple Lightning Bolts or Bloodbraid Elfs and go down to 21.

Hey there,

Pretty much whats on the tittle. Let's say that I attack with Yidris and copy the trigger with Lithoform Engine. Does that mean that my spells will cascade twicer?

Also, another situation, can I copy the cascade trigger from Bloodbraid Elf ? So I'll have to exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less than the Elf and than Again right?

Urza's Saga and maybe some cascade cards could help you find your combo pieces easier. For example, Bloodbraid Elf seems like a decent "finisher" choice over your dragon, since it can find pretty much any card in the deck (furthering your strategy), while also adding a clock.
