Yidris but no Storm?!?

The main goal of this deck is to win by assembling a Thassa's Oracle/Demonic Consultation combo (pretty standard stuff), but what really makes this deck unique is how we accomplish that goal -> no spells with CMC 1 or less other than Demonic Consultation. Pretty big deck building restriction but results high quantity of one card combos with Yidris (including spicy janky ones like Nantuko Tracer and Enhanced Surveillance).

After Yidris has dealt combat damage casting any 2 mana spell will always cascade into Demonic Consultation because its the only 1 mana spell in the deck. This allows many 2 mana cards to become single card wincons with Yidris. For example the best case scenario Thassa's Oracle in itself will cascade to demonic consultation, exiles library and wins. As another way to win more traditionally there is also 1UB FlashHulk line with Spellseeker and with no Blood Pet.

Why so much shuffle to library effects?

Because of how the trick with cascade works almost anything that shuffles graveyard into library or Consultation into library can be turned into wincon in itself or with enough mana with any 2 mana spell.

Why "Fork" cards?

Twincast, Expansion / Explosion and the better version Narset's Reversal can be used for multiple very useful things like copying an tutor for Oracle or as a protective counterspell there is also another usage: Cascade another card into consultation -> copy Consultation with Twincast -> resolve copy to get oracle -> resolve real Consultation to exile library -> cast Oracle and win.

(Also with 1UURR mana open you can cast Explosion in response of someone else trying to resolve their game winning Oracle trigger to make them lose ;))

Snapcaster Mage, Mission Briefing or Underworld Breach in hand and 5 mana open:

-> Cast Snapcaster

-> Cascade to Consultation

-> Name Oracle and get it to your hand

-> Resolve Snapcaster and flashback Consultation and exile library by naming Mana Crypt :D

-> Cast Thassa's Oracle and win

<\n>

Paradigm Shift, Nantuko Tracer or Enhanced Surveillance in hand and 4 mana open:

-> Cast Paradigm Shift

-> Cascade to Consultation

-> Name Oracle and get it to your hand

-> Resolve Paradigm Shift and shuffle Consultation to your library

-> Cast Thassa's Oracle, cascade to Consultation again and win

When Yidris has dealt damage any 2 mana card turns into "Waterfall" ;D from https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/latest-developments/getting-know-cascade-2009-05-08
