"Find me cards equivalent to: Abaddon the Despoiler"

Equivalent cards to Abaddon the Despoiler (Grixis: blue, black, red) that involve cascade or granting cascade include:

  • Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder (B, R, U, G): Grants cascade to spells you cast from your hand if it deals combat damage to a player.
  • Maelstrom Wanderer (U, R, G): Has cascade, cascade itself.
  • Apex Devastator (G): Has cascade, cascade, cascade, cascade.

However, Abaddon the Despoiler is unique in its specific effect (granting cascade based on damage this turn), and no other Grixis commander grants cascade in exactly this way. Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder is the closest Grixis equivalent.

Why? No other legendary Grixis creature grants cascade to spells in the same manner. Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder is the closest with a similar effect and color identity.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Cascade

    Rules

  • Each instance of cascade triggers and resolves separately. The spell you cast due to the first cascade ability will go on the stack on top of the second, third, and fourth cascade abilities. That spell will resolve before you exile cards for the second cascade ability. The spell you cast for the second will resolve before you exile cards for the third, and so on.
  • Each of Apex Devastator's four cascade abilities will look for a nonland card with mana value less than 10 (Apex Devastator's mana value). This doesn't change even if one or more of the spells you cast because of those cascade abilities has cascade itself. Each of those additional cascade abilities, if any, will refer to the mana value of the spell that caused it to trigger. In other words, each cascade ability cares only about the spell that caused it to trigger, the stack can get messy, and we wish you luck.
  • A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
  • Cascade triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you end up casting the exiled card, it will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.
  • Due to a 2021 rules change to cascade, not only do you stop exiling cards if you exile a nonland card with lesser mana value than the spell with cascade, but the resulting spell you cast must also have lesser mana value. Previously, in cases where a card's mana value differed from the resulting spell, such as with some modal double-faced cards or cards with an Adventure, you could cast a spell with a higher mana value than the exiled card.
  • If a spell with cascade is countered, the cascade ability will still resolve normally.
  • If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the card.
  • The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If cascade allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half but not both halves.
  • 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.
  • You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.

  • If Yidris's triggered ability resolves more than once in one turn, spells you cast from your hand will gain cascade that many times. Each instance of cascade triggers separately; resolve one cascade trigger and the spell you cast from it before resolving the next cascade trigger.
  • Spells you cast from your hand this turn will gain cascade even if Yidris leaves the battlefield.
  • A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.

    Trample Whenever Yidris deals combat damage to a player, as you cast spells from your hand this turn, they gain cascade.
