About Maelstrom Colossus

Maelstrom Colossus, Artifact creature — golem, designed by Svetlin Velinov first released in Oct, 2020 in the set Commander Legends and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander.

Maelstrom Colossus would be a great addition to a deck that focuses on casting high-cost spells and taking advantage of the cascade ability to potentially cast additional spells for free. While it can provide a powerful advantage in the right deck, there are other cards like Maelstrom Wanderer that offer similar effects with additional benefits, making them potentially better choices for certain strategies. However, Maelstrom Colossus could still see play in decks looking to maximize cascade triggers and capitalize on its potential for explosive plays.

Rules

03/19/21

A spell’s converted mana cost is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions. For example, Bloodbraid Elf’s converted mana cost is always 4.

03/19/21

If the card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

03/19/21

The converted mana cost of a modal double-faced card in exile is that of its front face. If the last card you exile is a modal double-faced card, you may only cast the back face if the resulting spell would also have a lesser converted mana cost than the spell with cascade.

03/19/21

When the cascade ability resolves, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether or not you cast the last card exiled.

03/19/21

You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.

11/10/20

Countering the spell with cascade has no effect on the cascade ability.

11/10/20

The cascade ability triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you cast the card exiled by the cascade ability, that spell will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.

11/10/20

You don’t have to cast the last card exiled by a cascade ability. If you choose to do so, you’re casting it as a spell. This means that it can be countered, and appropriate abilities trigger (such as if that spell also has cascade).
