This is crazy powerful just for the colorless 3-drop cascade, isn't it?
I don't know. I get the impression that the problem with cascade wasn't cascade, but was with Hypergenesis and its ilk. If Wizards didn't make 5 super-powered effects with no casting cost, then Violent Outburst wouldn't have been so damn bonkers. Runic Blade doesn't seem all that crazy to me, assuming it can only cast something great, and not something broken.
I agree that this card seems fair. Cards with Cascade are theoretically fair if they have an effect that would usually cost between 0-1 mana with the rest of the cost going into cascade. Since most decks wouldn't play this card if it cost 0 and lacked cascade it should be fine.
