This deck utilizes Yidris' ability to cascade by stacking your library and casting infinite combos for free. With the access to , there's lots of room for tutoring, filtering, and infinite combos. Although, once people realize you're going to combo off, cards like: Crawlspace and Propaganda provide great pillow effects to keep you in the game.

Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder by turn four and having Lightning Greaves (plus Fireshrieker for stacking cascade triggers, yes that's how Yidris works) is a great way to start the game. To help pay for those expensive spells you might be off colors for, Dream Halls can save you some grief (you can also cast Maelstrom Wanderer for free). Not to mention you'll have more resources to utilize for the rest of your turn, maybe even for casting Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and her many combos. Be careful though, as your opponents will also receive the effect. To help deal with their pesky attempts to win, Evacuation, Cyclonic Rift, Damnation, and some spot removal will still give you the chance to deal with their board states.

Running out of cards in your deck after valuing with Ancestral Vision Dream Halls or Frantic Search? Cards like Praetor's Counsel and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre can help reset your deck/hand count. Check the spoilers below for infinite combos and how to set them up.

As I test this deck more I will update.

Tips for Digging:

With cards likes Brainstorm, Ponder, Lim-Dul's Vault, Mirri's Guile, Scroll Rack, Sensei's Divining Top and a few others, be careful to cast them before you go to combat with Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder as they are for setting up what you cascade into. Because of their low CMC, when they do cascade, you'll go through a lot of your deck before you hit a Ancestral Vision Mana Crypt or other cards with CMC 1/2 or less. It can put a lot of your combo pieces at the bottom. Although, these cards work well with Rashmi, Eternities Crafter as with her pseudo cascade, you get to see one more card.
