Overview:

A Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder deck focused on wheel effects and cascade value, combining discard synergies with explosive cascade chains to generate card advantage and board presence.

Primer:

The deck aims to get Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder to connect with opponents to enable cascade chains. Primary strategy revolves around wheel effects like Windfall and Dragon Mage to refill hands while enabling graveyard synergies. Secondary win conditions include creating large board states through cards like Army of the Damned or growing threats like Blood Tyrant. The deck generates value through cascade triggers and discard payoffs like Waste Not. Early game focuses on ramping and setting up wheel effects, mid-game on connecting with Yidris, and late game on leveraging accumulated value to close out games.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on its commander to generate maximum value, making it vulnerable to removal. The wheel strategy can inadvertently help opponents find answers. The mana base includes many tapped lands, which can slow down the deck's early development.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 5/10
• Resilience: 4/10
• Consistency: 5/10
• Interaction: 4/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, with the potential for explosive turns but lacking the consistency and protection of higher-powered builds. While it can generate significant value through cascade chains and wheel effects, it typically needs several turns to set up its engine. The interaction package is modest, and the deck can struggle against faster strategies or heavy disruption. It performs well against other casual decks but would struggle against optimized builds.

Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
