My mechanic

A couple of friends and I are building a Magic set in a wacky, three-part way. Which is to say, each of us is building a third of the set with little to no information shared between us. Of course the set is gonna be a disfunctional disaster, but it's a fun little game. One thing I did share from my piece of the set, which was enjoyed by both the other guys, was my keyword mechanic. I thought I'd throw it out here, see what people who are not my friends thought.

It goes like this:

Cascade <cost> (For the rest of this phase, you may pay <cost> rather than pay the mana cost for spells with cascade that you play.)

Cascade is a secondary ability attached to a spell that does something else, much like storm or ripple. To give you an idea of what <cost> is like, the cards with cascade in my piece of the set are a cycle of common instants that cost 3C and have Cascade CC.

So say it's like this.. I play

Dog 3g

cascade

So the next spell I play:

Cat 3r

2/1

Only costs 4 to play instead?

A bit confusing, but very cool. In the context of the set it should be fine, but it has potential to be really broken.
