I made this deck for fun by going through my rare binder and pulling out any card that looked interesting. There's no real theme to it and nearly every card choice except the manafixing and utility is entirely arbitrary, and I have no idea how well it'll play. That said, here's the list:
I didn't feel like putting much effort into the manabase, so it's just the nonrare nonbasics I could most easily grab from the nearest stacks of cards (and basics, of course). I made up for that with an absurd amount of manafixing, but I figured it was worth it given my mana curve and the relative number of powerful yet expensive spells in the deck.
Feel free to comment, although I'm not sure what kind of changes I'm looking to make since this is just a pile of fun cards I tossed together on a whim.
For some reason i really don't like Cloven Casting in this deck. With only 8/100 cards to use with it, seems like something else could go in. I recommend Fist of Suns.

I'm using Progenitus because he's the only 5-color general I have. I figure that he shouldn't be too hard to cast between the landcyclers, landsearchers, Kaleidostone, and Heartbeat of Spring. And I really want a chance to kill someone with Progenitus and Finest Hour. I wish I had Fist of Suns, but I think you're right about replacing Cloven Casting. Djinn Illuminatus is in there too and works with nearly twice as many cards as the Casting. I'm not sure what I want in there, though. I guess I'll just go through my rare binder again.
Edit: I thought that with all of my expensive bombs, Jhoira of the Ghitu might be fun. And it works nicely with the aforementioned Djinn since I can use the mana I don't have to pay for an instant or sorcery to pay to replicate it instead.
I chose Heartbeat of Spring because I don't have Fist of Suns or Mana Reflection. I figure that I have enough high-cost bombs that I'll be able to trump whatever threats my opponents drop with threats of my own. It also plays nicely with Prismatic Omen (the possibility of a turn five Progenitus off any combination of lands is a very attractive play, lol). And, of course, who wants to kill the guy who's doubling everyone's mana?
I do agree that this deck needs more card advantage, like what I would get from cantrips, but since this is more of a good-fun-random cards theme than anything else I don't want to limit myself to focusing on a single shard. I think I need a ton of basics because of all the landcylcers/searchers, but I guess I can drop some panoramas for storage lands. Vexing Shusher is a good idea, although I'm not sure how neccessary it is with Spellbreaker Behemoth in the deck already.
Edit: As soon as I can find 100 of the same type of sleeve I'll give this deck a try.
Edit 2: Whoops, 101 cards. Goodbye, Indrik Stomphowler. I have enough artifact/enchantment kill already.
I would add cards like elvish piper and Quick silver amulet, since u wouldnt always have the mana to cast ur fats anyways i fink these 2 cards are auto include.

If you want to cast Progenitus, you have to really dedicate your deck to it. Fist of Suns, Mana Reflection, etc.
Edit: I thought that with all of my expensive bombs, Jhoira of the Ghitu might be fun. And it works nicely with the aforementioned Djinn since I can use the mana I don't have to pay for an instant or sorcery to pay to replicate it instead.
I think Heartbeat of Spring may be very dangerous to use, especially in multi-player, but I've never tried it. Mana Reflection is great though.
My Jenny deck has a Bant (Rafiq) base with lots of easy-to-cast hybrids like Manamorphose and Snakeform.
I avoid any non-Bant gold mana cards. For instance, I run Eyeblight's Ending instead of Terminate.
I run lots of cantrips and all of the Time Spiral storage lands.
Fist of Suns is a must for this deck. I also like Vexing Shusher.
I do agree that this deck needs more card advantage, like what I would get from cantrips, but since this is more of a good-fun-random cards theme than anything else I don't want to limit myself to focusing on a single shard.
