mtg 5 color shrine commander deck Elite 5-Color - Go-Shintai of Life's Origin - EDH - 100 Card - Custom Magic The Gathering Deck Go-Shintai of Life's Origin Shrine

Cascade is a powerhouse mechanic in general, but in Commander, it really shines thanks to the plethora of cards on offer

Since we're a Vehicles deck and all vehicles are artifacts, it makes sense to take advantage of artifact synergies, which I deliberately steered the deck into: we're running all the artifact mana cost discounts from Foundry Inspector to Semblance Anvil, drawing cards off Canoptek Spyder and Sanwell, Avenger Ace, and protecting our board with Leonin Abunas and Bronze Guardian

Though that flexibility is a benefit of the mechanic, it can lead newcomers astray into making non-synergistic decks simply because they're given more room to play in

Your creature only needs to attack and not even connect, and if you dont have anything to spend the extra mana on, you can instead grow the creature or dig for better cards
