Cascade triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you end up casting the exiled card, it will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.
wotc18 Jun 2021
The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If cascade allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half but not both halves.
wotc18 Jun 2021
You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.
wotc18 Jun 2021
If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
wotc18 Jun 2021
If a spell with cascade is countered, the cascade ability will still resolve normally.
wotc18 Jun 2021
Due to a 2021 rules change to cascade, not only do you stop exiling cards if you exile a nonland card with lesser mana value than the spell with cascade, but the resulting spell you cast must also have lesser mana value. Previously, in cases where a card's mana value differed from the resulting spell, such as with some modal double-faced cards or cards with an Adventure, you could cast a spell with a higher mana value than the exiled card.
