Parcelbeast

Creature — Elemental Beast

Mutate (If you cast this spell for its mutate cost, put it ontop or underneath target non-Human creature you own. They mutate into the creature that is on top and that creature has all the abilities of every card that is underneath it.)

, : Look at the top card of your library. If it's a land card, you may put it onto the battlefield. If you don't put the card onto the battlefield, put it into your hand.

Glowstone Recluse + Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider = is insane.

Maybe replace Mysterious Egg With Pollywog Symbiote .

Maybe add a Hall of Oracles or two to help with protection from Heartless Act .

Maybe a couple Parcelbeast to help speed up your deck. Trade out 2x Gemrazer .

Good luck with whatever you decide to play with, and those were just my first thoughts looking at the deck. I love Auspicious Starrix !!! So powerful and so reasonable to cast.

DreadKhan on Tatyova's Playground (Simic Landfall/Draw EDH)

Now that I think of it, if you've got anything that can fetch one, and you're already running Field of the Dead, it might not be a bad idea to run a single Wastes as another differently named basic land you can tutor up/fetch.

If you want some budget ramp options that can do some work, Dreamscape Artist is criminally underrated in non-infinite Tatyova, where it's a blue Harrow on a stick, which is insanely good in Tatyova landfall. Similarly, Silverglade Pathfinder is quite reasonable, as is Parcelbeast. None of these require a high land count to be useful cards, and with your untap effects they get even better. Dreamscape is nearly free to use, as long as you've still got lands in deck (and can discard a card).

I would consider more Moonfolk, maybe Soratami Mirror-Mage. It is a shock to opponents when they see you use it, it is pretty janky looking. The effect is pretty strong, and if you can cheat lands into play, it can be a free bounce effect (super strong with Retreat to Coralhelm based combo). Even if you can't cheat lands in, instant speed bounce is really strong. Also strong and an honourary Moonfolk is Trade Routes, which can nab landfalls or dig if you're desperate. The dig ability is a huge pay off when you need it, and if you've got a Ramunap Excavator type card out you are in good shape indeed.

Very cool deck, fun to play around with!

king-saproling on Yeah I'd tap that. . . Derevi, Empyrial Tactician

There's nothing wrong with your list as-is, but I do think a combat-oriented strategy would run more smoothly. Its up to you, maybe you could even do a combination of the two versions.

You could actually still incorporate many of the cards in your current list into the new list if you went for the combat strategy. For example I would retain these: Archivist , Arcanis the Omnipotent , Parcelbeast , Rhys the Redeemed , Heroic Intervention

Here are my picks for weakest cards, without much justification except that for the most part I don't see them doing anything important with Riku, too expensive for what they do, or are too specific:

Spore Frog
Animist's Awakening
Desperate Ritual
Parcelbeast
Reshape the Earth
Sakura-Tribe Scout
Savage Ventmaw
Seething Song
Deconstruct
Hypergenesis
Sunbird's Invocation
Pull from the Deep Volcanic Vision
Wild Ricochet
Hazoret's Undying Fury
Brainstorm
Surrak Dragonclaw
Swarm Intelligence
Dual Casting
Volcanic Torrent
Decimate (since you need all legal targets, it can be awk to cascade into this one)
Amulet of Vigor
Trinket Mage
Murkfiend Liege
Wort, the Raidmother
Mana Reflection
Genesis Ultimatum
Cast Through Time

And I'm also recommending cutting all of your X spells that can be hit and missed with Cascade: Electrodominance
Genesis Wave

However, I'll echo what another commenter said in that cascade doesn't interact with Riku all that much. I mean, you can copy the permanents or spells cast off of Cascade, but you can't meaningfully copy the Cascade cards. You could choose to cut the Cascade package instead. It's up to you and what you want to play.

So that's my first evil pass at 30 cuts. :)

Thanks for the suggestions TheoryCrafter! I've thought about Soul Foundry before but it never quite made the cut. Activating it for 6 mana as opposed to just playing more clones at around 4 CMC just seems a bit too steep, but I can see the upside so I'll give it another look. As for Spellbook I definitely love holding more than half my deck and having access to an answer for pretty much any situation, but I've never felt like I could justify taking up an entire slot with it for just that effect. Parcelbeast is veeerrryy interesting, I kind of slept on Ikoria as a whole and have never seen this card before now. It seems like a very nice package of card draw/pseudo-ramp, and feels like it would slot in perfectly here. Not sure what I'll cut for it given that it's competing with the various clones at the 4 CMC spot on the curve, but I'll definitely find a way to slot it in and test it out. Thanks again!

Have you considered Soul Foundry ? Not only could it be used to make copies of Biovisionary each turn, if you can get PSZ into your hand you can exile her and make as many PSZ's as your opponents will allow you. Not only will this give you card draw but a growth counter generator for Simic Ascendancy.

If you're still looking for cards to inflate your maximum hand size, then you may want to consider adding a Spellbook .

Also, for ramp, I'd recommend Parcelbeast . While not technically card draw, it does function as such. Plus the mana cost to activate the ability pays for itself if you reveal a land.

Happy Hunting!
