A deck many years in the making. I started this brew before Bloodbraid Elf got banned, it settled as a tier 3 aggro deck akin to 8Whack for a while, and is getting a new face thanks to the unbanning. Using a sample of similar decks, (8Whack, Ponza/GR Aggro, Naya Zoo, Jund) I'm trying to capture the aggression and tame the unpredictability of BBE's cascade by having it's cascade targets double as efficient early game threats. End goal being, cascade gets you the same things you're playing turns 1-3, but for free. An earlier build was using Greenwheel Liberator and Hidden Herbalists, but they weren't copies 5-8 of Battalion and Burning-Tree as I had hoped. It ain't much, but I get to play with a bunch of sweet cards, and remind my opponents of fun 4/3 creatures in Modern.
P.S: The land situation is open to suggestions, it's currently competing with 3 Commander decks in the same colors.
P.P.S: The only thing stopping me from pushing into 3-color is not being able to decide between adding white or black. I see the merits of both sides, but I want to avoid walking this deck into being Jund/ Naya Zoo featuring BBE. Adding white encourages me to build toward Renegade Rallier as the best result off of cascade, re-consider Greenwheel and Herbalists, and gives access to white's removal options. Black's advantage is a more versatile removal suite, but would also give to access Dark Confidant for card draw, which normalizes less aggressive opening hands.
