Deck discussion for Living End (Modern)

i'm not quite sure whether i understand the trick. living end does only allow you to put cards into play that were exiled by living end but not by any other spells (and therefore not by cascade)

so even though that's a nice combo how is that a free win?

just like hypergenesis, you cascade into living end. it is cast without the mana cost being paid. because we cycled/evoked a bunch of creatures, we now get to bring all those back onto the field turn 3 or 4. your opponent has almost nothing. then you win.

yeah that's exactly where i'm confused. living end says "then puts into play all cards he or she removed THIS way". sounds to me as it's refering to the beginning of the same sentence stating "each player removes all creature cards in his or her graveyard". are you sure the last part of living end allows you to put all cards into play that were exciled that round even by other effects than living end itself?

i mean don't get me wrong if that really works it's an awesome deck

sorry to bring this to you but the following link supports my earlier suspicion:
http://magiccards.info/query?q=living+end&v=card&s=cname
"9/25/2006: "All cards he or she exiled this way" refers only to the cards exiled in the first part of the effect. If a replacement effect (such as Leyline of the Void) exiles any of the sacrificed creatures instead of putting them into the graveyard, those cards aren't returned to the battlefield."

Reya: You aren't understanding the deck quite right. It never intended to cast the spells cascade revealed. The entire point is to get the creatures from your graveyard. For example, Jungle Weaver is a 5/6 that you can cycle on turn 2. Monstrous Carabid and Deadshot Minotaur can be cycled on turn 1, and they are 3/4s and 4/4s. Heck, Street Wraith is 3/4 that can be cycled turn 0. Living End only ever has to hit the creatures in your graveyard, as by only cycling a Streetwraith, a Deadshot Minotaur,and a Jungle Weaver will give you 11 points of damage on the swing turn 4.

The deck works that way.
