Yidris (First Attempt) by EThom759

Format: Commander

Commander: Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder is the deck's cascade engine: connect once with trample and every hand-cast spell for the rest of the turn cascades. The primary plan is accelerated ramp into Yidris, using his trigger plus high-cascade payoff spells (Maelstrom Wanderer, Apex Devastator) to chain into hasty threats and extra combat effects for a giant combat turn. Secondary paths include a deterministic Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host infinite-combat loop (Godo acts as a hidden commander/combo centerpiece) and a conditional Anzrag, the Quake-Mole + Last Night Together chain when blockers are present. The deck functions without Yidris, but his command-zone cascade lift is what turns medium draws into kills.
