I'll assume your commander is meant to be Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty . You can write CMDR behind your commander in the card list on the edit page to have it show up as your commander.

The deck itself looks very cool. Maybe consider Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma to cast your big spells for cheaper. Koma, the Cosmos Serpent is a grwat fatty to cheat out. Without lioking through your creature suit one by one, I can imagine Wild Pair to be quite useful. Thunderous Snapper is another great card here.

Nice list to start with. You should consider cards that reduce their cost like Ghalta, Primal Hunger , Dig Through Time , Treasure Cruise or Primeval Protector . Playing a Ghalta for just 2 and still getting a 12 mana cascade trigger is just nuts. The Great Henge is like super good for that reason, it also draws you cards and ramps. Omniscience does really well in Imoti and Aetherflux Reservoir can easily get you 150+ life a turn because of its special interaction with cascade. Also some additional card draw like Thunderous Snapper has proven to be awesome. My Imoti can easily draw and play like 50-70 cards a turn and put 25 lands into play in one turn, with a few changes yours could really get to the next level :-)

Well, didn’t do really much so far. I can highly recommend Kodama of the East Tree , he allows you to put a land into play whenever you play another land or any permanent enters the battlefield under your control.

Also Aetherflux Reservoir really can give you a ton of life and is a strong wincon.

Constant card draw like Thunderous Snapper , Tatyova, Benthic Druid and similar cards do well with providing a steady stream of cards.

The Great Henge does everything you want: it gives you a 9 mana cascade trigger for cheap, gives you mana and life and also draws you cards.

Those are just a few that really do well in my list. Feel free to take a look, I’m sure you can find some new toys there

I had Nylea, Keen-Eyed turn on today. My battlefield included 2x The First Iroan Games, Calix, Destiny's Hand, a Setessan Champion. Together with Nylea herself, that made 5. I got to attack for lethal when she powered on.

Also, I didn't see any copies of Containment Priest that game, but I played two Flicker of Fates through that game. One played as a combat trick where I blinked my The First Iroan Games to make an extra blocker and buff my Setessan Champion to block profitably, and the other to reset a Banishing Light after I drew a different piece of removal to take care of the card initially banished. I think I let out a Thunderous Snapper to be Giant Killered. I can't remember what I switched the Banishing Light to. But two good plays without Containment Priest...that was a nice surprise. Also notable that it was most useful blinking enchantments in that scenario.

Updates with new ELD cards:

The Great Henge > Everflowing Chalice A new all star from ELD! It provides ramp, life gain, card draw and puts a +1/+1 counter on our creatures entering the battlefield. Also this will be cost most of the time if not all of the time. Everflowing Chalice provides only even if the counters were increased.

Steelbane Hydra > Bane of Progress This to prevent destroying both our enchantments and artifacts as collateral damage from the Bane of Progress. Pinpoint precision provides also an avenue for politics. Also it's a turtle hydra!

Also speaking of turtle hydra Thunderous Snapper did not made the cut as Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner is much better in all aspect.

Once and Future > Fuel for the Cause Added recursion which our deck lacks.

Murkfiend Liege > Curse of Bounty Boost our creatures and negates the symmetrical effect of the curse.

Streamlined the mana base:

Simic Growth Chamber > Lumbering Falls

Gemstone Mine > Temple of the False God

Myriad Landscape > Simic Guildgate

Turtles can put up a pretty scary threat when you run Twisted Image / Inside Out / Invert / Invent as a beatdown shell. Ramp into big turtles works - Thunderous Snapper does offer a payoff for it.
