We are CASCADE CASCADE, a collective publishing weekly essays, deep dives, and other good-ass writing about the card game Magic: The Gathering. Built on the idea that those who love this game deserve more than an endless scroll of short form video. Community over content, every time.
What the Heck is an Issue?
CASCADE CASCADE will be following a three-months-on, one-month-off cadence with each three months making up a 24~ article "Issue." This schedule will help us ensure that we're well rested and not forcing an eternal treadmill of making stuff for the sake of making stuff. We'd rather take time off to both relax and also polish up the next round of articles. Plus, this makes it easy to charge you for three month blocks, if you'd like, to avoid yet another Sub on your debit card. Don't worry, if you're month to month we'll pause your sub on the month off.

Subscription Options!
We're offering FOUR "subscription" options at this time - monthly, whole issue, t-shirt, & Founder's club. A quick rundown:
- Monthly - Exactly what it sounds like. Every month you give us $7, you get access to all written content on cascadecascade.com. Automatically pauses between issues.
- Issue 1 - Access to the site from time of purchase through early June- meaning you get 24 awesome articles for a flat rate of $20.
- T-Shirt - Why is a subscription option named t-shirt? Because for $50, you'll get an Issue 1 subscription AND a sick CASCADE CASCADE logo tee in the mail in April. ONLY AVAILABLE IN THROUGH MARCH 31st.
- Founder's Club - Access to Issues 1-3 (i.e. a year's subscription), a t-shirt & THE FOUNDERS COIN. $100.
Some More FAQ:
Q: How does this work?
A: Cascade Cascade is a subscriber only publication. Subscribers will get twice-weekly essays in their inbox and can sign in to access the site with plans as low as $7/month. BUT we know that people are a little subbed out, so we'll be offering non-recurring ways to subscribe. Learn more on our Subscribe page & buy the t-shirt.
Q: Why Cascade Cascade?
A: Cascade is the mechanical representation of firing off the dome. It's putting faith in a mixture of luck and careful construction, which feels like what we're doing. The only thing cooler than Cascading once is doing it again.
Q: Can I submit to Cascade Cascade!
A: Absolutely! Our list of writers is ever growing and our goal is to create an inclusive, easy-to-access path to publishing with us. More info about how to do this will be available once we get our feet fully under us.
Q: Will anything be free?
A: The first month will have lots of free pieces. From there, the main goal of this project is to the continued viability of writing about Magic. We value the time our writers put into their work and we want to pay them a fair rate.
