This deck basically seeks to use Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder to generate a lot of value and win because of it. There are a lot of cards to enable Yidris to do combat damage several times a turn, giving spells multiple instances of cascade, such as Combat Celebrant, Sakashima the Impostor, Seize the Day, World at War, Fireshrieker, and Blood Mist. Eventually, you can either hit Aetherflux Reservoir and go off with casting lots of spells with cascade in a turn, or more likely, win with commander damage.

My main concern with the deck is that it can have really explosive turns without winning, where you turn into the target at the table. Because you're focusing more on your own strategy, it's difficult to deal with multiple players coming after you. Any suggestions are appreciated.
