Cascade Targets

Commander Deck Help forum

Hello everyone, I have been wanting to make a Maelstrom Wanderer edh deck and wanted to know some good cards to run in the deck, more specifically good cards I can cascade into. No budget really but for my wallet's sake let's say under $20 per card.

Sylvan Library is bananas, letting you stack your Cascade targets, and pulling things off the top that you don't need. Even better if you can get a MP one of like, sixteen bucks. Shardless Agent and Bloodbraid Elf give you more cascade-y goodness. In cascade decks, Ancestral Vision draws three cards for free, because you can cast it off Cascade for Zero. Crystal Ball lets you reorganize the top card of your library on the cheap.

LD, boardwipes. Set up cards with Top, Mystical Tutor, then cascade into All Is Dust then a large creature.

Cascade into more Cascade. Instant value.

Urabrask or whatever that thing is called is good too. You also need a butt ton of ramp to get Maelstrom out as soon as possible.

Some cards that come to mind would be Temporal Mastery and Time Warp because you can take extra turns from the trigger. Others would be creatures with nice etb triggers like Dragonlord Atarka and Duplicant. And finally plenty of ramp like Caged Sun and the typical rocks (Sol Ring, Coalition Relic, ECT.) to cast the Wanderer earlier.

I have a budget Wanderer deck that you could check it out. It's not bad, but it definitely could be better. I just need to acquire some more stuff.

Why not just cascade into the win everytime? MagicalHacker - Maelstrom Wanderer

Sure you could build it to be less powerful, but I can't offer any input for that...

It depends on how you're building your deck, of course, but here's some of the tech from a Maelstrom Wanderer deck I'm hammering out:

Warstorm Surge, Molten Primordial, Xenagos, God of Revels, Tyrant's Familiar, Blatant Thievery, Rage Reflection, Giant Adephage, Phyrexian Ingester, Duplicant, Decimate, Hellkite Tyrant, Scourge of the Throne.

Not a cascade target, but Scroll Rack is a must-run anyway.

Wheel of Fate is another good target. For lots-o-fun Hypergenesis is Eureka on a budget. Also Lotus Bloom maybe for free ramp? Depends on how you want to build it.

Scroll Rack is mandatory.

Sensei's Divining Top is also great.

The new Nissa's Revelation is an awesome card in a bomb heavy deck like this.
