yeah trees! it can do land too whooo. im still paying a different color+ 3 more colorless for a sorcery speed boomerang with an uncontrollable free spell that costs 4 or less on top. what crap although in limited if you hit architects of will you have netted some awesome tempo. what a piece.

question about cascade, lets say you play this card and the card that you get also cascade, would you use cascade for it too?

The answer to your question is yes. I personally think that cascade will soon be considered almost as broken as affinity...

to those who rated this low, let me explain something to you, You play this card and bounce one, then you play the next non-land card in your deck for FREE!, if it costs 4 or less... and if that card has cascade, you do it again. the trick to cascade is to run a non-reactive deck, things that don't need the opponent to do something to play (i.e. counterspells). put in the right deck I could see some horrific combos with the cascade mechanic.

I agree that this card has alot of potential with other cascade cards but the problem is that it works only with other cascade cards, limiting its effectivness in any other type of deck.

Imagine what happens if you cascade into a Singe Mind after bouncing oh... CHandra or Illana Ves... Repealing into damage.

The one thing that makes me dread using this card is hitting Dark Ritual. Hooray mana burn! /wrists
It seems way overpriced. Maybe at 2UB or something it would be worth it, but it is mad expensive.

Cascade is so sexy, in a UB mill deck a friend of mine had, i had the displeasure of having him use this on my Spearbreaker Behemoth into a Kathari Remnant into a Mind Funeral. Horrible to try and come back from.

at mtmills: no, you can't bypas the dark ritual. if you read the prompt of how to perform the cascade ability, you stop exiling cards when you come to the first nonland card with converted mana cost less than the cost of the cascaded card. at elysiume, if you read the prompt following the term cascade, it reads "you MAY play it(the card) without paying....." which means you do not have to play the dark ritual or whatever card was revealed. you may leave it on top for the next instance that you'd draw a card. and from what i hear floating around, the new rules did away with mana burn? someone correct me if im wrong.

Cadenblade, since the castable card is also exiled ("... until you exile a nonland card that costs less"), it's indeed - as mtmills has written - treated like all other exiled cards, and randomly put back on the bottom of the library.
And yes, there's no mana burn anymore, anyhow.

At Elysiume: Cascade doesn't force you to play the revealed spell. You can throw the dark ritual on the bottom of your library with the rest of the revealed cards.
At cadenblade: You CANNOT put the dark ritual on top of your deck if you choose not to play it. The rulings text makes it pretty clear that the last card is also exiled: "When the Cascade ability resolves, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether or not your cast the last card exiled."

On a completely unrelated note, there's absolutely no reason for this spell to be black, other than the set gimmick.

Cascade 5!
Even better, you can return something to your opponent's hand! Isn't that a neat add-on.

i love the casting cost of this spell mix it with surging aether and thrumming stone to bounce a ton of stuff (you choose the order in which to do ripple or cascade) so you ripple 4 for deny reality and then cascade for something that costs 4 or less (like surging aether(which at this point would have ripple 8) ) mix with wheel of sun and moon for some amazing recursion and you have an insane deck

actually calling it something like deny reality sounds more like a white ability than black.
