Yidris' Storm and Fury

Second in the series of 'in the wake of Covid-19' EDH decks - Yidris was the first precon I purchased after many years away from MtG and it definitely made an impression. I tried to play off the cascade and unblockability aspects of the original with a little storm for value or in case luck favors you. I stuck Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow in almost by accident but it works really well in combination with cascade creatures and haste. This is a casual deck but it's capable of some explosive turns.

Untargetability and Haste enablers combine with evasion creatures and the raw power of Cascade with a little Ninjutsu to get them back, plus the versatility of Ethereum-Horn Sorceror for recurring cascade. Get a haste-enabler on board and abuse these with [Sword of Feast and Famine] and a couple of actual time walks. Delve and Undaunted and Miracles cheat high casting cost spells out there to power up the cascade and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow can deal a lot of damage if it its one. Wheels keep the circus going. Waste Not can lead to an early win or your early death. This build is more on the casual/fun side so it rounds out with half a dozen steal and clone mechanics and graveyard manipulation to take advantage of all that Wheel-ing and dealing. Stolen Strategy used to be Mind's Dilation but it just seems to fit in well for me. It aims to be fun and interactive but sometimes the stars just align and combos pull a win.

Temur Battlerage and Essence Harvest are basically your surprise one-shots off a Consuming Aberration, Chasm Skulker which has grown huge or Glint-Eye Nephilim or Psychosis Crawler when you've got an expanded hand. Aetherflux Reservoir after a big lifegain should be your plan.

You have half a dozen cards devoted to the clone and steal side of things, which is your main defensive and political side. This deck doesn't really do politics in any conventional sense and it's looking to be a casual combo deck.

Budget

First thing to address...

Force of Will is a luxury and I have a few from Alliance days. Put in any good counterspell for it Dissipate or Void Shatter would be good choices, or even a Mystic Snake. Two counters are all you have in case you're trying to combo off. Cascading into a counterspell sucks but it's bound to happen.

Memory Jar could easily just be a card draw. Muldrifter would be great and you can ninja it back for a recast.

Sword of Feast and Famine is mostly ramp for early/mid but gets devastating later. Peregrine Drake maybe or add back in the Mana Geyser.

Burgeoning is not all that useful much of the time but occasionally awesome and tough to replace. Growth Spiral maybe.

You just cut the cost of the deck in half or better and it's still some good fun doing powerful stuff.
