These are all very straightforward, providing a simple effect and a mana payment for the Cascade cost:
 
 Giant DoubleGrowth
 1G
 Instant
 Target creature gets +2/+2.
 Cascade: 1G
 
 I like how good this is at saving creatures from burn. Shock? Play this. Shock in response? Double up!
 
 Blessed DoubleBreath
 W
 Instant
 Target creature you control gets protection from the color of your choice.
 Cascade: 1W
 
 Awesome in the same way the green one is. 
 
 Healing DoubleSalve
 1W
 Instant
 Prevent the next 3 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player.
 Cascade: W
 
 Lose DoubleHope
 1B
 Instant
 Target creature gets -1/-1
 Cascade: 1B
 
 In-DoubleFest
 3B
 Sorcery
 All creatures lose -2/-2
 Cascade: 1B
 
 Heat Doubleray
 XR
 Instant
 ~this~ deals X damage to target creature.
 Cascade: RR
 
 Oh man, an X-spell!
 
 CanDoubleTrip
 U
 Sorcery
 Draw a card
 Cascade: 1U
 
 I think that's better than an instant speed version, which would either be unplayable, or obsolete something.

That's enough for now. I'm pretty sure the only issues with these cards will be the mana costs and the flavor, and I'm pretty confident in those mana costs. So, flavor suggestions?

I think the white protection spell is a bit cheap, it's draft bomb, although alot of these would be as well protection just has sooo many uses.
EDIT: if you can only give protection to your own creatures that might fix it and these probably aren't quite as strong as i first thought

Yeah, it's supposed to only be creatures you control, like Blessed Breath. Fixed.

No other comments? Any flavor ideas?

How is cascade supposed to work in terms of flavor, anyway?

Well it's sort of like an X spell crossed with Storm? I'm not sure. I guess it's a spell that is variable, you can pump mana into it to get a bigger effect. OR we could flavor it like they're self-repeating spells, a sort of Von Neumann spell?

I like the self repeating idea. Unfortunatly, I still have no idea what to call these.

Possibly we can just stick these in the cascade list and add names later? Think of Counsel of the Soratami: you couldn't have named that card without having the block's flavor/storyline made up, yet it is an incredibly easy card to design.

Fair enough, but I'll warn you that leaving off the flavor means my card output will go through the roof.
