Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder

MythicColour IDMV 4
Legendary Creature — Ogre Wizard
Trample
Whenever Yidris deals combat damage to a player, as you cast spells from your hand this turn, they gain cascade. (When you cast the spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)

When the cascade ability resolves, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether or not you cast the last card exiled.

A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
wotc18 Jun 2021
If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the card.

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.

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.

You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.
Ranked by shared capabilities, colour identity, mana value and type — never by strategic judgement.
