When it comes down to it, a lot of good Magic cards have been printed in the last few years.

So why not just play all of them?

That's exactly what d00mwake was doing all of last week with this ridiculous four color Yorion take on the more traditional 60 card Cascade / Crashing Footfalls archetype. By not playing any card with a mana value less than three, you can guarantee every time you cascade you hit Crashing Footfalls, which makes for a lot of power very quickly.

Normally the opportunity cost to this would be not being able to play any cheap interaction, but with the multitude of pitch spells and two mana spells that have an official mana value of three or more, this isn't really a problem at all. Throw in some Teferi, Time Raveler and Omnath, Locus of Creation spice and you've got quite the pile!

This is d00mwake's deck, an earlier version than the one he just took to the finals of the Magic Online Modern Challenge last weekend.

While there's no doubting his success and experience with the deck, I do have concerns.

The cascade part of the deck is super redundant and has no problem shifting up to 80 cards, as you just move to 12 cascade cards rather than 8. The issue I have with the deck is that once you're 80 cards you run into the issue of needing to draw the right interaction at the right times. Maybe they have a Ragavan and Dragon's Rage Channeler and you draw Force of Negation, or they have an Amulet of Vigor and you draw Fury, or they have Karn Liberated and you draw Solitude.

Yorion didn't feel like a huge draw, and while Omnath is certainly a good card the deck doesn't exactly use the extra mana well. I'm not fully convinced that the inconsistency of being 80 cards is worth the Yorion upside.

Still, you can't argue with the success that d00mwake is having, so if you've got deep pockets and a love for Modern, give the deck a whirl!
