Cascading for the second time does not decrease the first one. Each instance of cascade triggers and resolves separately. The spell you cast due to the first cascade ability will go on the stack on top of the second cascade ability. That spell will resolve before you exile cards for the second cascade ability.
Bought this myself, looks fun, but has a lacking amount of eldrazies from the beginning. Will add all the big ones. Probably making it too top heavy, but what the heck. When casting a spell with "Cascade, Cascade" the 2nd spell in the cascade doesn't have to be lower than the first, only lower than the original spell that was cast.
Thing to Remember in the scenario where someone tries to use removal for zhuladok and you cast not of this world you’ll get to cascade cascade, edit didn’t see that he did the cascade after the untap but it would come at the time of casting not of
Nice video, as a pretty novice MTG player your explanation was easy to understand. Sometimes seasoned players go way over the top on explaining things. Thank you.
I went ahead and got it because I already had some big eldrazi. Zulodok provides some big pay off power plays that bring you back. It does come with other great pieces that help the deck.
Love that Wizards made this precon and colourless decks (a very niche style) are now more widely available.. I’d suggest dropping all the X spells and also Everflowing Chalice as they have direct anti-synergy with your Commander. The deck needs some way to get card advantage to recover from removal and board wipes. Notoriously difficult in colourless. I’d recommend swapping the aforementioned cards out for more card draw and replacing the Chalice with an alternative mana rock, Liquidmetal Torque for example.
You cast a nine mana spell you were supposed to Cascade twice for eight or less CMC but you didn’t instead cascaded for one minute for some weird reason. An unnecessary Misplay 7:55
Okay, thank you for this comment. I just bought the deck and that made me VERY confused. I was under the impression when you cascade twice the 2 cards just have to be of mana value less than the FIRST card (I.e. if you cast a mana value 10, you could cascade for 2 mana value 7’s) but when i saw him do that it through me very off
you missed an important trigger... 4:26. You casted a 7 mana value card, your cascades would trigger right there. It being discounted doesn't change its mana value (otherwise this entire deck wouldnt work)
Cascade just checks to see if it’s a nonland with less mana value, and unfortunately zero is less generally. Hangarback would be cast as a 0/0 and immediately be removed from the field when played because of its zero toughness.
You play multiple instances of cascade wrong in the play the artisan of kozilek play the 2 casecade triggers BOTH look for mana value 9 or less the crashing drawbridge has no impact on the second cascade trigger
I am new to MTG and commander, I picked up this deck, I struggle to know when I should be attacking, I kept filling the board with creatures and then one of the opponents wiped the board and I struggled to recover from that, should I be attacking every turn?
For now, attack unless theres an obvious reason you need your creatures to defend yourself. As you build more commander decks, some decks never need to attack, but you’ll get the feel for it as you go. What I would say is always ask yourself this question while you play, “what would I do if someone wiped the board right now.” this will force your hand into two groups so that you are free from something we call overextending, where if someone destroys everything and because you played out everything you had, you have nothing left to do, making a board wipe, a game winning play for your opponent
Act like ur getting attacked every other turn and u take 1 damage then on the next attack u take 2 damage then just add one life of damage to each attack that's what I do to see how fast decks I make or buy are. Been doing this since my early days of magic
Mirage didn’t have haste, and the zero mana doesn’t have to be cast with cascade but thanks for teaching lol
Ill pin this thank you

Omg its even better lol
Love the play testing of these decks. Thanks.
My first commander deck was a warhammer 40k deck and honestly this eldrazi deck has caught my eye. Idk I think a colorless deck sounds really cool

GOOD LUCK BOOM 🍀

7:55
That because a surprising number of people dont understand how multiple instances of cascade work

So you should cascade sub 9 twice for the Artisan not sub 9 and then sub 3 for the bridge.
you missed an important trigger... 4:26. You casted a 7 mana value card, your cascades would trigger right there. It being discounted doesn't change its mana value (otherwise this entire deck wouldnt work)
oh true as soon as you used the "free" counter spell, its still a 7 mana value
Remember not of this world even if you cast it for free is still a 7 cmc card so it triggers cascade cascade
Hey wouldn’t casting “not of this world” trigger zuladok’s cascade ability as well? It is a 7 mana cost spell afterall
Yes it would
@@Tachonka_Bonka719 Nice! That’s amazing value then
@@joned1000 yes I’d recommend hand of emrakul for the deck it’s 9 mana but has an alternative cost of sac 4 eldrazi spawn to cast it
Can't wait to try this! Thanks man.
I believe hangarback will not trigger zhulodock as X=0 when calculating mana value
Cascade just checks to see if it’s a nonland with less mana value, and unfortunately zero is less generally. Hangarback would be cast as a 0/0 and immediately be removed from the field when played because of its zero toughness.
@@GSIron I'm referring to hangarback being cast for x=7. It would not trigger zhulodoks ability
Oh word, the mana value is in relation to the amount of mana spent when casting the spell. Spent 7 so zhukodok see’s 7
You play multiple instances of cascade wrong in the play the artisan of kozilek play the 2 casecade triggers BOTH look for mana value 9 or less the crashing drawbridge has no impact on the second cascade trigger
Where did you get your play mat from?
Magic con in Philly Wes
Not of this world should have triggered cascade?
The mana value is 7 even if it was cast for free
A good deck, add more Eldrazi cards and its great!
*STEP 1:* Play Mana

When ur playing like that u should to take a life away every other turn
What do you mean
Act like ur getting attacked every other turn and u take 1 damage then on the next attack u take 2 damage then just add one life of damage to each attack that's what I do to see how fast decks I make or buy are. Been doing this since my early days of magic
