This thought crossed my mind today as I look at building a Narset/Cascade deck, also would the cascaded spell trigger the Jeskai Ascendency

Cascade says "...You may cast it.." so it works for storm and Jeskai Ascendancy.

On the card it says you may play look at Deny Reality hence my confusion, it is worded as if it means cast, but in both instances says play.

Old cards said play as cast. This was cleaned up in a later rules and mechanic update. If you check the Oracle text

Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)

The oracle text is official, and has "cast".

Play= cast

Not exactly. Both are still valid rules terms, and mean slightly different things.

"Play" is used when an effect allows you "play a card", meaning play the card as a land or cast it as a spell. "Cast" is used for casting spells.

A case where "play" is differentiated from "cast" is with Recycle/Null Profusion.
