This deck is about about playing and buffing big hitters to deal unblockable, lethal damage. This includes Kaseto, who ever once in a while can kill someone with commander damage.

Early game, we ramp a lot, play our draw engine cards, and play cards like Managorger Hydra that get big on their own. You don't necessarily need to play Kaseto early. Sometimes it's better to hold him and wait until you have the mana to pump him (or another snake) hard.

Mid game, we start buffing our creatures, swinging at threatening players. If there are other aggro players, you can cut deals by offering to make their own heavy hitters unblockable.

Late game, we want to make sure we have access to a ton of mana and draw cards. Ideally, we can decide to finish one player quickly with infect Grafted Exoskeleton or big hitters Primordial Hydra or pumping up Kaseto, Ororchi Archmage himself. Cards like Wash Out also help secure our wincons.

9/21 udpate - this deck has been taken apart to build an Edric deck http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/edric-infiltration/?cb=1537540078 to keep up with the meta I'm playing with. Many of the remaining cards will find homes in more casual decks so stay tuned.

10/7 update - My Edric just died to elesh norn over and over again. One game it just caught me off guard without mana up. I'm rebuilding Kaseto combining the best parts of my Kruphix and Edric decks, throwing in some other bombs like Vigor and weird cards like Dismiss into Dream .

2/8 Update - I took a break from Magic for the past few months after burning out. Now that I'm getting back into it, I figured now is a good time to take a look at my favorite deck, Kaseto. I'm thinking about making up to $20 worth of upgrades and making some difficult nonland cuts to squeeze in some of my favorite cards to play.
