ISoG lets you cast a Valki with a CMC1 in play. It does not let you cast Tibalt because Tibalt is not a CMC2 spell.
The templating on cascade that made it work was "find a CMC lesser card. Then Cast that card [without caring if the card's CMC is still lesser]" and why it still works with Bring to Light.
There's no shortage of "free" 4 cmc cards. The problem is there's nothing at 5 cmc worth cheating out with ISOG.
There's a lot of creatures worth cheating at 6-9, but 5 is a bit blank. If there were better 5s, Neoform+Skyshroud Cutter is already a better combo than ISOG. It's possible Turn 1 OTP and only requires a 1-of in the deck, not to be in hand. It sees no play. ISOG is a worse version of that.
You might find something valuable among Planeswalkers or Enchantments.
As Reeplcheep said, the most playable idea so far has been as a 1-of backup plan in Leylines.dec when you need to ETutor for ramp to put Starfield of Nyx into play (Serra's Sanctum is not ETutorable)
Tbh not that great. But with the free skyshroud dude you have a jump blocker and eventually Bolas will take over the game!

I thought about playing this as ramp in EDH. It sets up Laboratory Maniac with mana untapped for something like Paradigm Shift + Brainstorm.
On Paradigm Shift, maindeck graveyard hate like Tormod's Crypt could double as a way of clearing the yard for Paradigm Shift + Labman/Oracle.
Luck is a residue of design.

Expect me or die. I play SI.
The English translation had an error, so I fixed it. You can only choose one of the cards if you discard multiples at the same time. Otherwise, it would turn LED into an actual Black Lotus. Still seems pretty good, though.Conspiracy Theorist

When Conspiracy Theorist attacks, you may pay and discard a card. If you do, draw a card.
When you discard one or more nonland cards, you may exile one of them from your graveyard. If you do, you may cast it until the end of this turn.
