Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my Maelstrom wanderer deck that I have been putting together and playing for the last 2-3 years now. Built around maelstrom cascading over and over again. Some combo but avoids land destruction and too many extra turns. \n\nc19 additions — modifications \n\nfield of the dead was replaced by sanctum of eternity after the C19 release as a way to increase my ability to cascade. \n\nadded cream of the crop as a replacement for minds dilation the reason being that cream of the crop is cheaper and early game fulfills my game plan well overall. Needs testing. \n\nalso considering adding the royal scions. Adds first strike and trample to maelstrom or loots away cards. I think it is a worthy addition to test. Taking out blood moon for this effect. \n\nfuture additions for Eldraine : \nCastle Garenbrig - free ramp! for a forest \nmystic sanctuary - getting a spell to the top from the graveyard is quite good, and it has the island subtype which means that any 3 fetchable islands will enable it. Also you can fetch it in response to cascade triggers so you can set the top up. \n\n"}]}
