I decided to play wildly different from the Five Colour Cascade from yesterday because I wasn't winning with it. It was far too slow for my liking.

With Deny Reality gone, blue existed only for Rhox War Monk, which could be replaced by the more all-around Sprouting Thrinax, and Esper Charm, which was not good enough to be the only blue card in the deck.

Enlisted Wurm was also not pulling his weight -- sometimes it was straight Cascade Lottery but other times it was Wurm into... Esper Charm. Whee... I think I'm just unlucky.

This deck has all the spells required to beat Nissa Aggro first and foremost, while retaining good matchups with the rest of the field. The additional spells at the bottom of the curve speed up the deck, and the Garruks + Ajanis can still give control a hard time without having to clear out their hand obsessively.

Baneslayers no longer fit here because they now get killed all the time because you're no longer clearing out their hand. Hopefully Broodmates can win the game for you.

This will be the list I develop over the next few days. I'd like to thank Glux because this is mostly his list that I modified.

(Honorable Mention: Old 5c Cascade from the previous post with Sphinx of Jwar Isle over Enlisted Wurm.)
