Hence when we cast a 4 CMC spell with cascade, we are guaranteed to find a card that impacts our gameplan massively.

When considering how this would play however, I think it better to have it at a slightly lower level without this threat. This way it is in a more stable position where the gameplan continues without the commander, and isn't so swingy in one turn. For a potentially more explosive deck however, I hope those that would potentially play a deck like this consider it!\n\nI hope you enjoy, and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Let the Galaxy Burn"}},{"insert":".\n\n"}]}
