Based on a deck found on Reddit. Comments/suggestions welcome!

Imoti makes all of our spells over 6 CMC cascade so this deck revolves around getting her out ASAP and playing as many discounted big mana spells as we can. Given the high CMC average of this deck, I figured it would be a good one to slot Keruga, the Macrosage into as a big reload effect (not that we tend to run out of gas).

Imoti's first ability doesn't get mentioned much but we're making the most of her own cascade trigger by running mostly ramp effects for all of our 3 and 4 CMC cards so Imoti doubles up as a ramp creature whenever we cast her. We're running several spells that can be discounted through different mechanics like delve, affinity, emerge, suspend and evoke like Treasure Cruise Elder Deep-Fiend Inspiring Refrain and AEthersnipe so we can flood our board with huge beaters as soon as we have Imoti set up. We're also running high value creatures with low mana effects just in case our hand gets clogged up like Greater Tanuki and Colossal Skyturtle.
