This is my second attempt at a chaotic deck, my first being Kenrith's Chaotic Politics. Using Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder as the commander does limit me by giving me access to one less color, but it comes with the built-in chaos of cascade, and an incentive to swing, which is always nice imo. I know that chaos can get annoying quickly, so I'm going to try to avoid the more salt-inducing chaos cards. I know this drastically limits my options, but if I have to choose, I'd rather make a deck that keeps my play group coming back than one that strictly sticks to the chaos theme.

On a side note, with this deck I will have designed a deck in each color combination, from colorless to five-color. The one sort-of exception is mono-white, of which I only have an oathbreaker deck (Not much of a sacrifice). I may yet make a mono-white commander deck, but for now I'm going to count that as finishing the challenge.
