This is a casual Wanderer deck built with two simple purposes in mind:
Keep the highest price of a single card under $15 (some exceptions)
Keep the power level low enough to avoid targeted hate
It is not designed to specifically thwart play groups that allow excessive counters, MLD, or graveyard hate. One theme of this deck is to interact with prospective board states and not rely on the cards in this deck as much as stealing or disrupting other player's permanents. This deck is more similar with MrCoupon than duck's in case you wanted a quick preview.
Fabricate - The only cards worth searching for are Cloudstone Curio and Phyrexian Metamorph so I don't see this as a good choice at this time.
Tezzeret the Seeker - Since I'm not playing some of the above mentioned artifacts, I don't see this as useful in my deck list.
Worn Powerstone - Although both decks linked above run this card, I see Coalition Relic as strictly better, especially for ramp on the following turn. I can get two different mana from the Relic and only two colorless from the Powerstone
Carpet of Flowers - I don't typically play against a lot of decks using Islands
I like the addition of Cloudstone Curio, I'm gonna have to use that. I am using Erratic Portal and Crystal Shard for now.
Yesterday, I slotted in Surrak Dragonclaw, but have yet to play the deck to see if this was a good idea.
Note that until people experience otherwise, they may tend to presume your Maelstrom Wanderer deck is one of the truly mean ones, and target you accordingly. Then they will see you play DEN and feel justified.
Cheers!

I don't play online or with random people, so everyone knows what I run and the play groups I participate in don't use land destruction or infinite combos as a general rule. I agree that random play would be a bit different.
Looking ahead to FRF, I see a few that look very interesting for casual play. any thoughts form the community?

Included
- Commander's Sphere - Redundant with Coalition Relic and helps you get more gas in the late game
- Clever Impersonator - Helps you take advantage of everyone else's board state
- Courser of Kruphix - I like this better than Future Sight because you can only capitalize on land cards (lower threat)
- Scourge of the Throne - If you are getting targeted, you don't have the highest life total, also no life gain in this deck
- Treachery - brilliant on a Cascade, but requires a valid target
ExcludedProphet of Kruphix- works well with mana dorks and acts as Vigilance for your creatures - BANNEDOracle of Mul Daya- Removed based on price changesVenser, Shaper Savant- good on Cascade and excellent otherwise Removed based on price changes- Mana Crypt - Still too expensive
- Mana Vault - Too competitive
- Trinket Mage - Enables the two cards above, so it has little value without them (only target is Sol Ring)
- Scroll Rack - Personally, I think this is a dead play on a Cascade and not useful for this deck
- Sensei's Divining Top - Same as above
- Fabricate - The only cards worth searching for are Cloudstone Curio and Phyrexian Metamorph so I don't see this as a good choice at this time.
- Tezzeret the Seeker - Since I'm not playing some of the above mentioned artifacts, I don't see this as useful in my deck list.
- Worn Powerstone - Although both decks linked above run this card, I see Coalition Relic as strictly better, especially for ramp on the following turn. I can get two different mana from the Relic and only two colorless from the Powerstone
- Carpet of Flowers - I don't typically play against a lot of decks using Islands
- Time Spiral - Too competitive and too expensive
- Food Chain - As busted as Cascade and draws immediate and usually sustained hate
- Sylvan Library - needs to be removed as it is way too expensive and too competitive for this list
ConsideredI'm constantly evaluating new cards with reprints and new sets and I welcome and any all criticism or suggestions and thanks for reading!

I'm still considering Kiora, Master of the Depths, but the price will need to come down before it makes this list.
Notable new cards:
- Crush of Tentacles
- Dack's Duplicate
- Kiora, Master of the Depths
- Kiora's Follower
- Thunderfoot Baloth
- Ugin's Insight
I also removed all the fetch lands and shock lands substituting Temples and Cinder Glade.
