[...] is aggro Cascade instead of control cascade. I think I am going to come back to the Naya-based 4x Primal Command (sideboard) Cascade deck I was playing immediately prior to the Rhox Meditant deck, and just try [...]

Rather dumb question:

Could this deck be any better with Hell’s Thunder in place of Boggart Ram-Gang? Especially post-M10 when Lightning Bolt becomes the new preferred removal?

Maybe -4 Fallout +3 Primal Command +1 Kitchen Finks/Anathemancer in your mainboard?

Just curious, I am not great at mana bases and was wondering why no Wooded Bastions? You have a lot go GWx cards

So apparently I’m the worst magic player in the world. Thanks for clearing things up.

I suppose there’s some small consolation in that Fallout might still be less effective than Firespout in terms of killing creatures, but that doesn’t nearly make up for my amazing, Joe-Biden-like gaff. Eh, c’est la vie.

I’ve been intrigued by the deck that took second place here:

Heavier on the GW, it uses Enlisted Wurm and your old friend Captured Sunlight. (The latter of which can only get Finks, Maelstrom Pulse, or LD out of the board.) Regarding sweepers it runs 2 Caldera Hellion and 4 Incendiary Command, plus 4 Wrath. A lot of it seems weird, but I do feel Enlisted Wurm may deserve some respect. We like Broodmate for it’s two bodies. What if the second body is also a 2-for-1?

Wow, what a mana base! 4x Exotic Orchard for reals? 12 vivids? Cascade LD with boomerangs is a real deck that preys on decks that aren’t doing things before turn 3. And there are quite a few of them around right now, from 5c blood, to jund aggro, to bw tokens and swans. Ultimately, this is the sort of deck that seems great on the play. Lots of decks in t2 do right now. I’d be willing to bet that winning the coin flip is disproportionately good in type 2 right now. The trick is building a deck that can recover while on the draw. Which isn’t easy considering how lack luster the sweepers are.
