Averna, the Chaos Bloom is one of the most satisfying commander I had to play. Like any other engine-like commander, she doesn't really seem like a threat on board but the value she brings is treamondus, especially if you find an Amulet of Vigor on your low CMC cascade spells. Cascade's one of my ever-liked keyword mechanic, adding chaos to the game. You knows what other spells will come when the opponents have already to deal with an Apex Devastator or my ever appreciated Terror of the Peaks?

With such ability of bringing additionnal lands on the board per turn, landfall-like permanents represent a must have to exploit such value: Drawing cards with Tatyova, Benthic Druid, populate your battlefield with Avenger of Zendikar or terminate your opponents with Moraug, Fury of Akoum.

I'm also glad that this pack can be turned around Elemental Tribal theme with cards like Risen Reef or both Omnath, Locus of Rage and Omnath, Locus of the Roil.

But what if no other Cascade spell are drawn to run Averna ability? No problem, you only have to recast the ones you already have on the board with tolls like Crystal Shard or Temur Sabertooth. And to help you to enjoy one more time your favorites Apex Devastator and Maelstrom Wanderer more easily, Animar, Soul of Elements represent a great add. Oh, and don't forget to add additional cascade triggers with Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty or Strionic Resonator.

Thanks for reading! Don't hesitate to give it a try :)
