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.)

Provenance

Where it came from

Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder was released in 2016 as part of the Commander 2016 expansion, a set centered on four-color legendary creatures. Created by Wizards of the Coast, this card represents the Yore-Tiller faction, a group dwelling in the post-apocalyptic plane of Grixis. The design intent was to provide players with a chaotic, spell-slinging commander that rewarded aggressive gameplay through the Cascade mechanic, reflecting the volatile magical energy of the Maelstrom.

The character was illustrated by Greg Staples, who employed a dark, textured aesthetic to capture Yidris’s monstrous and chaotic nature. As a four-color card, it filled a specific mechanical gap in the Commander format, which had long lacked diverse options for players wishing to utilize red, green, blue, and black mana simultaneously. It was well-received by the community for its high-variance gameplay and remains a staple for those favoring spells-matter and high-impact strategy decks.
