About Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder

Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder, Legendary creature — ogre wizard, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Commander 2016 Oversized and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder would be a great fit for a deck focused on casting a high volume of spells to take advantage of its cascade ability, particularly in a deck that includes a variety of low-cost spells to maximize the value of cascading into impactful cards. While there may be other powerful cards in Magic: The Gathering that offer similar effects, Yidris's unique combination of trample and cascade makes it a strong contender for decks looking to generate card advantage and create explosive turns, making it a card worth considering for play in the right strategy.

Rules

03/19/21

A spell’s converted mana cost is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions. For example, Bloodbraid Elf’s converted mana cost is always 4.

03/19/21

If the card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

03/19/21

The converted mana cost of a modal double-faced card in exile is that of its front face. If the last card you exile is a modal double-faced card, you may only cast the back face if the resulting spell would also have a lesser converted mana cost than the spell with cascade.

03/19/21

When the cascade ability resolves, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether or not you cast the last card exiled.

03/19/21

You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.

11/08/16

If a spell with cascade is countered, the cascade ability will still resolve normally.

11/08/16

Spells you cast from your hand this turn will gain cascade even if Yidris leaves the battlefield.

11/08/16

The cascade ability triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you cast the card exiled by the cascade ability, that spell will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.

11/08/16

You don’t have to cast the last card exiled by a cascade ability. If you choose to do so, you’re casting it as a spell. It can be countered. Since it’s cast from exile, Ydris’s ability won’t give the new spell cascade.
