Thanks for the laugh, but isn't the exact definition of eternal a non rotating format? Of which Modern is.
There isn't an official Arcana that announces Modern, however i'm hoping that these will be modern legal. and if not, that sucks, but i'll live. The announcement for Commander was done in december 2010, whereas Modern was "revealed" to be an official format as of August of this year.
Both of which kinda point to my assumption being correct, but assumptions are just that, non fact.
Thanks for the correction. i was very hopeful, but i'll live now that my dreams were yet again crushed by superior minds >.<
And, the Orcs on MTGO state that Modern is eternal, but there's no way that their words can be cemented as trustworthy, since they're just peons for WotC.

Modern is "eternal" -- small-"e" -- in the sense that it doesn't rotate.
It is not "Eternal" -- large-"E" -- in the sense that it does not allow all sets and promotional cards ever printed; Modern only allows cards which have appeared in core sets and expansions from Eighth Edition forward, and does not allow promo cards or cards from products like Commander, Planechase, etc. unless those cards also appear in a core set or expansion within Modern's time frame.
I'm really hoping to be working by the time these decks come out because I may have some other more pressing expenses as well.
A ninja deck does have me very excited, but we aren't going to get too many new ninja since each deck only has 6 new cards and I doubt those would all be creatures in any of the decks.

Sweet, Planechase finally getting some supplements!
Archenemy was kind of amusing, but it really didn't follow Planechase as strongly, and I was utterly bored and uninterested in Commander, not even the new cards stirred my interest since they were all singleton.
So more Planechase is fantastic news for me. Sweet sweet oversized locations.
And yes, you read it right, I don't like Commander, I don't really get the draw for it. Then again, even *I* looked at Maelstrom Wanderer and thought "EDH players are gonna kill for that thing."
For all the Riku people, would you copy the Wanderer? Just for the cascade, cascade, cascade, cascade, but no Wanderers, or copy whatever you cascade into? I'm just curious about that.
After you resolve the initial two cascade triggers and Maelstrom Wanderer enters the battlefield, copying it with Riku would net you exactly zero bonus cascade triggers and zero 7/5 hasty legends.

For me, the draw of Commander was the new cards, singleton or not. So I think putting new cards in this product is a very good move. I don't know, something about wedges appeals to me.
So how does double cascade work exactly? Can I get two 7 drops after I drop the elemental, or does the second cascade look at what was flipped from the first cascade?

It would be pretty pointless if it did, wouldn't it? The reminder text says you finish up the first cascade, including putting the exiled cards on the bottom of your library, "then do it again". So yes, you can get two 7 drops.
Pretty cool. I wasn't into Planechase the first time it came around, but I might check it out since they're printing new cards for it. I just hope between Planechase and Commander, they don't go overboard with the "These cards are only legal for Eternal formats" thing. Also, Modern is an Eternal format right? So these are legal in Modern?
To all you guys who have never enjoyed planechase - check out the rules for blind eternities. This is the way that my playgroup plays planechase and which works really well. If you haven't tried it before, I suggest you do.

I hear you on the commander front - I enjoy singleton, but the commander idea never really hit the button. Didn't stop me building decks.
It's in the reminder text. (Putting reminder text on a mythic is aggravating enough that not reading it should be punishable by death.)
Yup. I read it. I thought that all instances of cascade looked at what was cast before it, and the first cascade instance says it was cast. I was just confirming, calm down. Getting two 7 drops would be awesome, but I feel like going 8, 7, 6, is more in the spirit of what cascade what was supposed to do.

To be fair, the reminder text is somewhat vague. It says "costs less", rather than "costs less than this card," so I could see someone misinterpreting it as the second cascade needs to cost less than the first.

I actually am a huge fan of planechase, it doesn't get played very often, but when it does the games are typically memorable and fun. I'm trying to build a following at myLGS but i haven't put much effort in thus far.
Cool! Cascade is back! I wonder what other old keywords they will put on new cards!? I'm hoping for some crossblock keyword combinations, like in Time Spiral, but I'm not counting on it. After all, the card with Cascade is the Maelstrom Wanderer.
Hmm...I wonder though, if there's a cycle of multi-colored legends, what does that mean!? There are four decks! Isn't five cards make a cycle? Aren't there different terms for less-than-5-card-cycles?!
But well, I wonder if the legends go with the decks?
-I can see Maelstrom Wanderer fitting into Chaos Reigns, after all, Cascade is fairly "chaotic" and the Maelstrom was pretty darn chaotic, wasn't it?
-Night of the Ninja has just gotta have a new Ninja! Preferably with blue and black! If it's anything like Maelstrom wanderer, then the Ninja would be from Kamigawa. HA! New cards set in Kamigawa! Take that Kamigawa haters!
-Primordial Hunger? Come on, primordial! Dinosaurs! There will be a legendary Dinosaur, and they will bring back Dinosaur as a creature type. Lizard, seriously? No.
-Savage Auras, might we get a new Aura related legend? Give your Auras Aura Swap!!
I'm also looking forward to the other new cards, including the Planes and Phenomena. I actually would like a normal card that only works in Planechase. It's just ONE card. Think how many cards are useless in all formats! What's wrong with one card that's only usable in one format, but is pretty darn good in it?

Well Cascade is apparently confusing enough that it deserves it. Don't know why though, it's confusing to me that people find it confusing.

I wonder how phenomena will work with the Eternities Map variant.
