Small Budget BIG CASCADE Deck Tech 

Love when you share budget commander decks. This one looks like a blast.

I love the glee of just deciding not to run one and two drops

Hi DJ! Miss your podcasts at the command zone! You should do a podcast!!! We love to hear you talk about commander!

I'd consider adding Release to the Wind. Reuse cascade or etb triggers, deal with an incoming attacker, reset a walker to starting loyalty. It's very versatile and very underrated imo

As soon as I saw this I really wanted to build it. And I love Keruga but never could find a good home for him. Thanks for the ideas!

currently building an imoti mostly sea monsters deck.. thank you for all the great suggestions in this video. your voice is really nice to listen to and you give great reasonings about why you include some cards, love it! you deserve way more subs and views! keep it up :)

1:48 First you had my curiosity, now you have my attention...

I've been looking for an excuse to build a Companion deck and I think you just gave it to me! Awesome as always DJ!

Love your budget decks DJ!

Deconstruct is an interesting option for targeted artifact destruction in this one. Destroy artifact for free and filter mana to GGG after. So even if you aren't particularly concerned about that artifact, you can tempo your opponent while fixing your mana at the same time.

I the process of building this. I've ordered anything and everything with alternate casting costs. Emerge, suspend, convoke, evoke etc. I don't care if it's gonna be weakish, I just wanted to play these cards. Will definitely add Keruga

This is exactly the deck I wanted to make with this Commander.

I've been brewing Imoti for a couple weeks. She can get out of hand very quickly and is a blast to play.

DJ: “Ih-mAt-tee” Also DJ, 3 seconds later: “Ih-mOh-di Lol just messing with yah DJ, sweet deck tech as usual. I also love this uncommon guy, he’s fantastic for that fun big splashy commander (my favorite ☺️)

Went in a similar direction when I built Gilanra+Brinelin with Keruga, with the exception of the companion I chose to only include commons and uncommons. The downside in building with only commons and uncommons is that there aren't any boardwipes.

Annnd this deck seems amazing! A tweak or two just for the personal touch and it’s done!

I upgraded the "Reap the Tides" commander pre-con and put Imoti at the helm... kept the Kraken/Serpent sub-theme for the beaters.... its sweeeeeeet.

I've been eyeballing this commander. Looks like a lot of fun.

Awesome deck tech just bought this commander

I was hoping for a budget deck list for this commander!

I just got your budget collection for my brother as a gift, hope he likes it!

If I am also understanding this, if your spells have cascade, and you cast a 7 drop and the reveal a 6 drop, you will end up casting that and then also having another trigger of cascade so you might be able to cheat out more than one thing

I have this built, and I'm curious to see how you built it. I'm attempting to balance fun and power. I like group hug ramp like veteran explorer and heartbeat of spring, for example. Nobody hates to see rites of flourishing hit the board. Edit: just got through it. Got some cool ideas. Love the big Counterspells and some of the dual use cards. I still think I won't play keruga though, even though I love the creature types as a concept

I built something similar a few weeks ago. I only used cards I had lying around though, so I gave no thought to budget. I have wanted to use Keruga as companion for ages, and this seemed like the perfect fit. My curve starts on 4CMC and is rigged so Imoti will only cascade into double ramp spells, which sets things up nicely for casting most of the deck as well as recasting Imoti easily if she dies. Despite a 'late' curve, I have some things I can do on early turns, in addition to putting Keruga into my hand on turn three. I haven't had much opportunity to playtest, given the world as it is... Might have to concede the 4 drop ramp stipulation, but I really like the idea of never cascading into a feel-bad. And it might be more 'balanced' with the slightly slower approach. Once it gets going it REALLY goes. My primary Tech cards are very budget friendly though. I particularly like Stolen Identity as it can cascade twice on the turn you cast it, and even more if the ciphered creature lives. Aminatou's Augury is fantastic too, it can start multiple cascade chains, almost a second Apex Devastator. Durkwood Baloth and Errant Ephemeron, if suspended on curve, go off the turn after Imoti comes out, cascading and gaining haste. Aethersnipe and Walker of the Grove can be Evoked on the cheap, while still cascading based on their CMC. I'm running a slightly higher land count to ensure Imoti hits the board on curve, would probably cut a few if I added 3 cmc ramp. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/imoti-timmy-tribal/?cat=custom&sort=name&cb=1608820611

I built this commander and man I love it, its very different from this build but still

you may want to consider Thunderous Snapper. You have 36 cards that are cmc 5+. That's plenty of fuel for thunderous snapper.

I was looking at this card and thinking it would be very fun to build around

I’m using gilrana and brinlen and keruga as the companion with imoti in the 99! But this list with imoti looks jus as fun

Great video

Any suggestions for a no budget build DJ? I was thinking of the same combination of commander+companion as yours, and I would love to know if you have any reccomandations :)

I made imoti with a lot of bounce for her field wipes, she does not mind at all being recast while putting others behind

Careful Cultivation would be a nice include one and a green channel for a mana dork but the card has cmc of three.

Definitely paying a bit more to add in Goreclaw. This deck looks really sweet.

I got a foil Averna the other day. Making a cascade deck based on her and Ive watched 3 different builds so far. Yours being 4th.

I just made a surrak big boi deck with keruga as the companion

"The henge is 20 bucks" .....and now its 50ish

Wow i but it out of mostly commander legends cards and its a blast just for drafting

I want to Cascade all my Jumbo Commander videos so that I can see more Jumbo Commander videos!

Isn't Spring//Mind 9 cmc? Works even better for this deck if so!

I didn't think imoti was that interesting but now I want to build this deck

Every instant of cascade triggers seperately right? Cuz then my maelstrom wanderer needs this

This deck is sweet

I'm finally building this deck almost a year later

I would recommend Krosan Drover instead of Goreclaw as it's a little more on theme and much easier on the budget.

I like this commander, wondering if she gives cards that have cascade an extra. Like Apex Devastator would have 5 cascades with Imoti in play.

I'm surprised you didn't go with Averna, the Chaos Bloom

Momir vig is an auto include in my opinion. Rashmi is also great.

So question, does *reduce the casting cost by X" not make its cmc lower therefore not triggering imoti?

Wait. Cascade says you MAY cast the spell. Meaning you can run any card with low cmc and choose not to cast it right? Like you can just keep digging 🤔

Korean Drover reduces cost of creatures that cost 6 or more. It could do a lot of work here

I really like the idea of this deck. And I really like how Budget it is. But I suspect it's too slow for my playgroup. I do love that your not cascading into arcane signet and Mana dorks though. I think I may have to test it like this and with a 12 card 1-2 cmc ramp package and The Dino hippo in the 99.

SO, Incubation is a 1 cmc card. I tried on Arena right now and Keruga forbids it to be placed.

I feel like Harrow should be in the deck.

I feel like this is the exact same thing riley knight posted on channelfireball

Run Sun quan for horsemanship

Trigger warning, not budget upgrades at all. Tooth and Nail finding Palinchron and Nyxbloom Acient goes infinite. Toss a Echo of Eons to cycle through your library infinitely. Beast Within removes non-indestructible permanents, Reality Shift, Boomerang and Cyclonic Rift exiles troublesome perms, and pitch a Hullbreacher in there to eliminate card draw. Net result have all perms on the field, cast all spells infinitely many times while opponents, have no creatures, no perms that aren't indestructible, no hand, no library, and lose, eventually to mill. You could pass turn and swing with all your stuff. You could slap a pyschosis crawler in to mercy kill them if you wanted. In closing we can run probly 5-6 green creature tutors that work with our strat. Each can Find Spellseeker. Which finds Tooth and Nail. We also run 2-3 blue instant/sorc tutors with also find tooth and nail. Any grouping of 1-7 lands that tap for 1GUU + 5 mana from any source can go infinite by casting an entwined Tooth and Nail. I also think, Great Whale, Peregrine Drake, Cloud of Faeries, Cloudstone Curio, Dead Eye Navigator, and Temur Sabretooth make welcome additions to the back up squad.

this channel has really gone down hill

"dont worry about ramp" uhm I'm worried about lack of ramp dude.. saying I shouldnt worry about it without giving me a single reason not to worry about it doesnt make me worry less
