I've decided to properly lay out that Yidris confusion in a Q&A. If anyone wishes to have a go at explaining it as well, I invite you to do so:

Q: Does Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder's cascading reoccur with cascaded spells?

doppelgreenerThe new Commander 2016 set comes with a deck commanded by Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder, who can apply cascade to cards his player casts. My friend has been playing with Yidris, and it seems insanely powerful! He casts a spell from his hand, then cascades into one from his library, then that cascade...

There's been one group that misunderstood Yidris the same way several of us did, and only realised it was any different when I pointed it out. So that pushed me to give it a full explanation, since I doubt they're the only ones.

I just finished a match in our sealed league at work. Verdurous Gearhulk is a stupid card, especially in limited.
The whole match was over in 20 minutes

@doppelgreener I had a feeling that you were asking for someone else when I saw the self-answer

@murgatroid99 it hit me the other day it's potentially a 5-mana 8/8 with trample, which is impressive

@doppelgreener And half of it essentially has haste. Put the four counters on any flyer that you already had, and you now have a gigantic flyer plus a 4/4.

I don't think anyone has that much removal in sealed. I know I never do.

Or from a stable board position put them all into Cultivator of Blades

At that point opponent moves from "Wow that card is good" to "Wow this guy has all of the bombs in his color" which makes a match kind of depressing to win or lose

Q: How do we feel about questions about leaked Magic cards?

JefromiThis question asks about a leaked card from Aether Revolt. Obviously, we are not Wizards of the Coast, and we don't necessarily have to take their view or to ignore information that's already out there. At the same time, we might want to consider being considerate to readers who prefer the excit...

I just came back across Feldon of the Third Path. It is the card with the saddest story I know of. (At least, delivered by the card itself. I haven't read *any* short stories about Feldon, but the card tells me more than enough.)

@doppelgreener The only story I could find online is Loran's Smile, there is a summary on MTG Salvations's wiki of other parts most of which I believe are in the book Brothers' War if you are interested in more information

I do agree that is a great card. I especially like it because it is showing the less angry and violent side to red's emotions
