The goal of the deck is to come up with one of its several infinite combos through value generated by Yidris. Although Yidris is not quintessential to this strategy, having him enable cascade even for one turn can bring tons of value and card advantage. The infinite combos here are:

  1. Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake or Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron can give infinite mana, while Palinchron's second ability brings this deck to a whole new level. Namely, once Palinchron gives the infinite mana, it can be recast infinitely, which can in turn cast the whole deck if Yidris' cascade is enabled. Note that Palinchron can also be used in this way with Zendikar Resurgent. Even Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker can occasionally bring out a second Peregrine Drake or Palinchron for added value if Deadeye Navigator or Zendikar Resurgent are not present. Coming from Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron I usually cast cards from top of my library until I get Gonti, Lord of Luxury. I then recur Gonti to completely exile my opponents' decks.

  2. Combat Celebrant + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker makes infinite combat steps. Even if I can't get through in each of those combat steps because the opponent has blockers, I can at least get multiple cascade triggers.

  3. Aetherflux Reservoir + Grinning Ignus + Treasonous Ogre gets us infinite life and deals 50 damage to an opponent. Even without Aetherflux Reservoir, these guys can get me great value in a single turn.

Now that I have infinite combos out of the way, let's talk acquiring value. One of my favourite card combinations is Dark Petition (with spell mastery enabled) searching for Beseech the Queen and casting Beseech the Queen with the three black mana. One of the important things to note here, is that Beseech the Queen cascades for six, since that is its converted mana cost. Cards that also abuse cascade in this way are: Tasigur, the Golden Fang (delve); Dig Through Time (delve); Murderous Cut (delve); Distended Mindbender (emerge); Mulldrifter (evoke) and Peregine Drake; Palinchron and Frantic Search which can effectively be cast for free once there is a sufficient amount of lands on the battlefield.

Rishkar's and Baral's are also a great addition to the deck. Note that cards that are cast off them for free also cascade. When it comes to the lands department, there isn't really a spot that can be spared for utility lands, since the deck itself is very coloured-mana intensive. Fetches haven't been included because I haven't had the money to buy them but I also think that they might not be that important to include. Green is the most represented colour of the deck and lands that provide green are almost always present in the opening hand. Green also helps get the rest of the colours. The least represented colour of the four is red. The only utility land that I have added a bit later on is Geaier Reach Sanitarium. It helps if I run out of castable spells and my handed is flooded with lands, but also if I have Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake and nothing to cast, I can use it infinitely to find whatever win-con I want (i.e. Gonti, Lord of Luxury).

So what do you guys think? If you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments :) I've been making this deck pretty much ever since the Commander 2016 precons came out and I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out (the only problem is that I can't think of an awesome name for the deck :D ).
