Retrace (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying its other costs.)

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.
