Abaddon the Despoiler gives your hand spells cascade during your turn, scaled by how much life your opponents have lost that turn. The deck drains and pings opponents early in the turn (upkeep life-loss triggers, suspend, and damage effects) to raise that total, then casts spells from hand with cascade to flip into free spells. It leans heavily on casting from exile, with suspend, paradigm, foretell and cascade all feeding a pile of "whenever you cast a spell from anywhere other than your hand" triggers that deal damage, copy spells or make tokens. How it wins: Opponents are burned out through repeated direct damage and life loss from exile-cast triggers like Keeper of Secrets and Flaming Tyrannosaurus, doubled by Solphim, Mayhem Dominus. Key roles: - Exile-cast damage payoffs: punish every spell cast from exile by dealing damage directly to opponents, such as Keeper of Secrets, Nico Minoru, Runaway - Suspend and exile enablers: put spells on a delay or cast them free so they count as cast from exile, such as Profane Tutor, Improvisation Capstone - Upkeep life-loss engines: make opponents lose life early to turn on Abaddon's cascade and cheapen spells, such as Keen Duelist, Court of Ambition - Copy and doubling effects: duplicate exile-cast spells or double noncombat damage to multiply the burn, such as Nalfeshnee, Solphim, Mayhem Dominus - Cost reducers and mana: lower spell costs and add mana so more spells get cast each turn, such as Nightscape Familiar, Sol Ring
