"You may cast it without paying its mana cost..."

Riku heard these words spoken as if from on high, and lo - a deck was born. We've got things that drop permanents onto the battlefield for free, free spells, cascade, and of course Riku and multiple copies of everything.

NEEDS HELP

As you can see, I'm having trouble cutting cards (currently at 130). I need a ton of ramp to cast big things, I need to cast big things to trigger cascade (plus a lot of the 'cast for free' spells are just high CMC), and I need to still have enough removal, draw, etc. That said, I currently have too much ramp, and my mana curve is almost an SAT score.

NOTE: I'm not concerned with power level at the moment (tho I'm happy to read comments on increasing power level if you're so inclined); ditto with mana curve / efficiency. Mostly I'm just concerned about getting to 100 cards with a deck that still does what I want it to do.

Thanks in advance for your feedback and assistance!!
