Kitesail Freebooter gives you the same effect, although restricted to a noncreature, nonland card
While there are arguably some stronger Merfolk ranked lower than this one, Kumenas ability to function as a powerful Merfolk Commander earns it a lot of points
The most relevant rules are: 112.3b Activated abilities have a cost and an effect
Just remember that commander tax is an additional cost, it doesn't increase Maelstrom Wanderer's mana cost, and therefore doesn't boost the effectiveness of Cascade
It provides mana early in your curve so you can ramp up to creatures like Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma quickly
