"Find me cards equivalent to: Maelstrom Nexus"

Equivalent cards to Maelstrom Nexus (five-color enchantment, cascade effect) are very limited:

  • Maelstrom Nexus itself
  • Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder (legendary creature, not an enchantment, but grants cascade)
  • Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty (not five-color, not an enchantment, but grants cascade)

There is no enchantment with exactly the same effect (five-color, grants global cascade) as Maelstrom Nexus. The closest in mechanics are multicolor creatures that grant cascade. Five-color enchantments with similar broad value:

  • The Prismatic Bridge (legendary enchantment, five-color, not cascade—cheats creatures/planeswalkers into play)
  • Fist of Suns & Jodah, Archmage Eternal (not enchantments, but similar five-color spell-altering effects)

Summary: Maelstrom Nexus is unique as a five-color enchantment granting cascade. No exact equivalents exist, but the above can provide similar deck functions.

  • Fist of Suns's ability is an alternative cost to cast a spell. You can't combine this with other alternative costs, such as flashback. You can pay additional costs, such as kicker, in addition to this alternative cost.
  • If you apply Fist of Suns's alternative cost to a spell with {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If you cast a spell for which mana of any color can be spent to cast it, you may cast it for Fist of Suns's alternative cost and still spend any color of mana to cover that cost.
  • If you pay {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} rather than pay the mana cost of a spell with {X} in its mana cost, the only legal choice for X is 0.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Cascade

    Rules

  • In some unusual situations, you may lose control of Imoti during the process of casting a spell with mana value 6 or greater. In those situations, that spell won't have cascade.
  • Once you announce that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished casting it. Causing Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty to leave the battlefield after a spell with mana value 6 or greater has been cast won't stop that spell's cascade ability from resolving.
  • 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.

    Cascade (When you cast this 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.) Spells you cast with mana value 6 or greater have cascade.

  • If the first spell you cast in a turn already has cascade, both cascade abilities will trigger separately. Deal with them one at a time: First one cascade ability will resolve, and you'll cast the applicable card if you want. That new spell will resolve. Then the other cascade ability will resolve in the same way. Finally, the original spell will resolve.
  • This effect takes into account spells that were cast earlier in the turn before Maelstrom Nexus entered the battlefield, including any spells still on the stack. If you've already cast any spells that turn (including Maelstrom Nexus itself), this ability won't give any of your spells cascade that turn.
  • 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.

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