Does Grafdigger's Cage Stop Cascade in MTG?
I've tried using Grafdigger's Cage to stop cascade in a game once, thinking I was clever. Spoiler: it didn't work. Cascade doesn't care about the Cage since it exiles cards before casting them. Learned that the hard way!

Yep, Grafdigger's Cage actually doesn't stop the cascade mechanic in MTG. The reason is that cascade doesn't cast the card from the graveyard or library directly, but exiles it first. So, since the card you're cascading into isn't entering the battlefield from those zones directly, Grafdigger's Cage doesn't affect it. Cascade away, my friend!
Nope, Grafdigger's Cage won't do squat against cascade. Cascade bypasses it by exiling cards before anything gets cast. So, if you're trying to shut down cascade with Grafdigger's, you're gonna need a new plan.
