What it does
Trample
Whenever Yidris deals combat damage to a player, as you cast spells from your hand this turn, they gain cascade. (When you cast the spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)

Where it came from
Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder was introduced as one of the marquee legendary creatures in the Commander 2016 expansion, released by Wizards of the Coast. Designed to lead the 'Entropic Uprising' deck, Yidris represents the four-color chaos archetype, specifically utilizing the non-white mana identity. The character is a nomadic ogre shaman from the Shard of Grixis on the plane of Alara, reimagined for the multidimensional scope of the Commander format.
The oversized version of this card was produced as a promotional foil inclusion within the Commander 2016 set packaging, intended for use in the Command Zone rather than standard play. It was illustrated by Greg Staples, who utilized a visceral, high-contrast aesthetic to emphasize the character's mastery over chaotic elemental forces. The design was well-received by players for its complex 'cascade' ability, which rewards aggressive, spell-heavy playstyles and remains a staple of high-variance deck building.
