A relatively fair version of the iconic Maelstrom Wanderer. Instead of cramming the deck full of 2-card infinite combos, this "fair" version leans towards ramping out multiple powerful creature threats to dominate the board. That being said, the deck can go infinite when it reaches a critical mass (and Temur Sabertooth is too got not to play).

This deck can do ok against traditional control decks, but suffers against stax and other restrictive effects.

An effort has been made to eliminate dead cascade hits while also running interaction by using modal spells (like Sublime Epiphany and Mystic Confluence). Another example is Spelljack. A powerfull counterspell that also lets you re-cast Maelstrom Wanderer if you kit it off cascade.

The overall idea of the deck is to generate value with multiple spells/effects coming from individual powerful cards.

There is a small versatile clone package in the deck, with Storm of Saruman and Spark Double letting us copy some of our powerful legendary creatures.
