Cataclysm is still a crucial part of my cube. Very surprised to see it in so few cubes based on cubetutor! Makes for some really fun games and situations, racing to rebuild or many times securing the victory.
What’s the average scenario for Cataclysm? It’s not ideal in your typical aggro deck because it ruins your go wide plan. Depending on the matchup it can probably destroy a bunch of lands, but it seems like the window for where it is awesome is very narrow... We tried it around 2011 and didn’t like it.
I recently readded it alongside the new Heliod. Having a few more decent enchantments and maybe a piece of playable white equipment would do wonders for breaking the symmetry. Obviously the sacrifice all plainwalkers part is what really pushes this into the competition. I am fan.
