WOW! $2000 on a single EDH deck.... i mean you gotta admire the commitment if nothing else.

does Spelljack work with Maelstrom Wanderer the way i think it does? i.e. you cascade into it, counter maelstrom, resolve the other cascade, then re-play maelstrom for free, getting 2 more cascades? because if so i may need to pick that up.

definitely an interesting take on MW. i run the usual version of the deck that exists at 7 mana or bust for reliable cascade but never thought of running so many 10+ drops.

i imagine the pod you play in is fairly tier 1 as well. wouldnt like to see this brought to a casual night. turn 6 hasted koz' and 'mog, sac 8 lands thanks for playing. out of interest what kind of opponents do you normally face?

LOL, on budget...I have been playing Magic as a serious hobby for a very long time. I acquired most of those cards before they got to their current prices.

Yes, Spelljack works like you hope it would work! Fun times...

I definitely would NOT bring this to a casual night since I would like to keep friends. Our playgroup's philosophy is play powerful cards and, therefore, play with cards that can deal with powerful cards. We get a bunch of hard core games that end quickly, but we think that's fun.
