So here's the basis for the deck:

Step 1. (This is the most important step, by the way.) First, find a good hiding spot for your humanity, respect for others, and overall altruism. You can't have them to play the deck, and you don't want to lose them, cause you kinda need them later.

Step 2. Mulligan until you get a nonbasic land without cycling, a spell, or until you have 4 cards in hand.

Step 3. Play lands, making sure to let your opponents know how unfortunate you drew this game that you don't have any relevant spells to play. Even feel free to show opponents your hand full of lands and prove to them that you're getting "mana flooded".

Step 4. Play Maelstrom Wanderer, which will cascade to Spelljack, Devastation, Jokulhaups, or Apocalypse . Spelljack basically replaces one cascade with two, so that's neat. If one of the MLD spells gets countered, not to worry! Your next cascade will grab another one. (If both get countered, you are pretty much in a bad spot regardless of what deck you are playing anyways.)

Step 5. If the first one resolves, choose not to cast the other spell from cascade, just in case someone gets a Plains and plays Condemn or Path to Exile or something.

Step 6. Finally, Maelstrom Wanderer resolves, and now you should have a 7/5 hasty commander with no blockers on any opponent's field.

Step 7. Hopefully you win at this point.
