Love the idea of a super budget Imoti deck. I'd definitely include more adventure, split cards and cards with high cmc but reduced casting costs to fir the Cascade theme (e.g. Delve, Convoke, Improvise, Emerge etc.) Kellan, Inquisitive Prodigy, Beanstalk Wurm, Beanstalk Giant, Sapphire Dragon Bramble Familiar though at $0,99 is extremely potent because it ramps on 2 but most importantly can be cast as adventure from any cascade (it's a 2cmc card but when you cast it you chose which side to cast and choosing the adventure side will trigger Imoti again as it's a 7cmc spell) Aminatou's Augury is absolutely nuts here for $0,99. Triggers Imoti and then exile top 8, play an extra land and cast one of each type of nonland card for free all of which can potentially trigger Imoti again Commit // Memory, Spring // Mind Dig Through Time, Treasure Cruise Cradle Clearcutter and Hulking Metamorph are nice Prototype cards Volo, Guide to Monsters might be a consideration and very explosive if the deck gets adjusted for him Might consider including 4x $0,35 Caves and then running Cosmium Confluence to ramp by 3 for 5 mana Instead of Overrun effects that might not fit the situation I'd prefer haste enablers like Ulvenwald Oddity and Surrak, the Hunt Caller which are also great 4 cmc cards to cascade into Some considerations at <1$ Eureka Moment - Monstrous Vortex - Diluvian Primordial - Primeval Protector - Colossal Skyturtle - Torrential Gearhulk - Aether Gale - Scourge of Fleets - Primeval Bounty - Emergent Woodwurm - Bonny Pall, Clearcutter - Baral's Expertise - Illithid Harvester - Troyan, Gutsy Explorer - Gandalf, Westward Voyager - Keruga, the Macrosage - Radagast, Wizard of Wilds - See the Unwritten - Garruk's Packleader - Garruk's Uprising - Regal Behemoth - Stolen Identity - Wondrous Crucible - Nature's Will

I can not in good conscience recommend Inniaz. It's a great CONCEPT and it sounds like it SHOULD be fun..... but the book-keeping involved just turns it into a miserable slog. Assuming of course that everyone is ok with having their stuff repeatedly stolen by the Inniaz player (even though it isn't all going to Inniaz, the Inniaz players still gets to decide who gets what). Excessive book-keeping and repeated theft.. does not make for a very fun experience.>< The rest are great though.

@@LVMTG It's a theft commander with EXTRA book-keeping. Most theft effect are either until end of turn OR it stays with whoever steals it. It's not even necessarily oppressive... it just turns into something of a chore keeping track of which permanents belong to who. Great idea in theory... not so great in practice.

@japplekАй бұрын
It's really sad looking at modern card art. The artists are so skilled but the space most of them are allowed to work in is so narrow. Don't get me wrong, there's still good art, but the consistency overall makes the art so much less compelling piece by piece. I remember when wotc dropped their restriction on digital art, and at the time I was all for it as a key indicator of progress, but I wonder now if it was a part of a larger trend towards centralising creativity in a way that inevitably will lead to AI mush becoming the standard.
