I like this card for the fact that cascading is basically drawing a card and playing it for free, emphasis on card draw. Putting four of in my UB combo deck with Terramorphic Expanse and Mishra's Bauble as a deck-thinner, then use it as a regenerator for chumping the opponent really helps to get my strategy off the ground.

Like Cadenblade said, this card is (in my mind) tunnel-visioned on Mind Funeral. Between this and Deny Reality, you can structure a deck so that twelve different cards get you the Mind Funeral effect, and with some clever filler, be it (land)cycling, or functional lands like Spawning Pit, you can make a pretty potent deck. Not to mention, the cascade function clears out of the way all the cards you don't need to win, so it's got more than meets the eye going on. Add some Glimpse the Unthinkables to fill the gap.
I've always thought of this as being a pretty much pre-made deck, like the Bloodbraid Elf, Demonic Dread and Jund Hackblade and whatever that other cascade one was deck.

I find this card to be staple in my grixis deck. I like casting this guy and then popping out a sedraxis specter or kederekt creeper !! Great blocking ability and search card !!

I do agree that this is expensive, but that would be if you weren't getting something for free as well. But you are. And on top of that, you get a nearly impenetrable blocker. Decent. Not gamebreaking, but decent.

Of course hes expensive, he has cascade. if he wasnt expensive, then there would be less awesome stuff available for cascading into. i think he is a very balanced card and i like him a lot.

I use it with mid funeral and/or glimpse the unthinkable with Circu, Dimir lobotomist. He triggers twice for a total of 4 cards removed. Pretty decent, and nice defense against non trampling fatties.

Very, very under-estimated card. It's a Will-o-the-Wisp on steroids.
1. I can think of hundreds of black or blue - or black/blue cards for 3 mana or less that would be awesome to cast for free.
2. Its a regenerating flying wall. That in itself is rare indeed.
But no, you get both for 4 mana.
5/5....No questions asked.

they should make a card that is just an instant with cascade and nothing else, maybe that would help people apreciate cascade more, make the card X mana so that the more you pay the higher cost thing you have a chance of getting (if it would work like that idk.)
of course that would make it the worst cascade card ever but still...

The problem with this guy is that he has horrible synergy with counterspells, not that he cost 4. If he had flash, then he would be incredible.
I guess you could run in a 
deck that has no counters....
