Recent occurence in an EDH game that demonstrates the chaotic hilarity that cascade produces:
On 5 life, in a pretty bad way generally.
Maelstrom Nexus on the battlefield, cast Maelstrom Wanderer. Triple 8-CMC cascade incoming:
1st cascade: Bituminous Blast, which cascades into Sakashima the Impostor.
2nd cascade: Stormcaller's Boon, cascading into Worldly Tutor.
3rd cascade: Cruel Ultimatum
That would have been awesome, had Wild Ricochet not been played at that point.
Sigh.

Why the hell is this card a 7/5? I frequently think it's an 8/5, even when I then realize that's not true, I repeat that mistake on the next game.

I once bought two packs of chaos reigns and mixed them together.
... What have I done...

@ElCarl: Wild Ricochet can't redirect Cruel Ultimatum back at you (although it can copy it) because you're not your own opponent.

very powerful general in EDH. In a properly designed deck, you will usually be happy with whatever you cascade into, be it a 1 mana sol ring or your 6 mana consecrated sphinx. You then get a creature that kills in 3 hits and that's if it's just killing from general damage, since mass haste means you can easily win with just mass creatures. Find ways to willingly sacrifice wanderer or bounce it to your hand (ex; food chain, crystal shard) to get the cascade triggers again, and you will win with sheer card advantage.
It's not a tier 1 general in 1v1 EDH, because the randomness of cascade does affect the consistency of the deck. But it's definitely a deck to be wary of, particularly if you do hit good cascades.

This card is awesome, both aesthetically and technically. I wish I had it.
