Basically, A.

The cascade will find the card to cast, and your opponent will not cast it. The revealed cards will go to the bottom. It will be treated as if they chose not to cast the card.
Ok wasn't sure because I know you can force your opponent to do anything unless a card effect says so, and this didn't seem like it would work.

I played against a pillow fort deck with my mono green ramp and I ended up having to pay 15 to attack with one dude.  I threw down 2 {craterhoof behemoth}s in one turn with 12 creatures out and attacked with a {worldspine wurm} for game.  He {far and away}ed it.  I. Hate. Pillow fort.
Who play black pillow fort?

{ethersworn canonist} out, opponent casts {maelstrom wanderer}. The cascade triggers either A) resolve, but he must choose to put them in the bottom, Or B) don't resolve. What happens?

If it's a simple replacement effect, it would say instead wouldn't it?

Well that's the question. In order to "die", he has to touch the graveyard, as the old wording was "put into a graveyard from the battlefield". It doesn't say "exile instead" it's triggered upon actual death. Also I'm not implying it as a May effect what I mean is could I say give regrowth flash and put him into my hand in response to the trigger?

{Underworld cerebus} says it's third ability triggers when it dies, could one respond by taking it out of the graveyard, thereby not losing it, or would the game rules say "please I exile what I want!" ?

Yes...unfortunately. This is a case of R&D just saying this is how it works with no real rules reason for it to work.
That's absolutely not true. Wizards has done some work trying to reverse the power creep of cards, and auras were very very underpowered. As such, they took steps to make auras better by adding bestow so as not to make it a two for one against removal. My first deck was mono white auras, and it sucked when I finally realized that it wasn't good enough. They tried making auras better, with things like angelic destiny and bruna, but even then it still isn't as good. So hence, bestow became a mechanic the prevents two for ones.

Regarding {dark sphere} because it doesn't technically target according to the rulings, can you sac it at say an opponents upkeep, and later on choose what to prevent, or does it have to Be done just before "a source of your choice" WOULD deal damage

{sunforger} says you still pay any additional costs, but can you pay kicker or buy back costs?

{Sunforger} does not say you can pay additional costs
Sorry what I meant was the rulings said you have to pay additional costs, which I thought it meant reference to things like {altars reap}

EQUIP JACE TO GIDEON AND SWING
Rule 34 of the internet
There is a time and a thread for this sort of rated stuff
I think this is perfectly good Timmy reasoning here: If jace pops his final, you win 99% of the time. But if Gideon picks up jace and throws him at someone, due to awesomeness code 1337:69, you win the game
