These legends are designed for a GUR Elemental tribal deck. The deck's major subthemes are cloning, activated and triggered abilities, and spellslinging.
NAME, the Transcendent2GUR
Legendary Creature — Elemental Shaman Eminence — As long as ~ is in the command zone or on the battlefield, each other Elemental creature card you own that isn't on the battlefield has evoke. The evoke cost is equal to the colored portion of its mana cost. (For example, an Elemental creature card with mana cost 2RG has evoke RG.)
Evoke GUR
Whenever a nontoken Elemental creature you control leaves the battlefield, create a token that's a copy of it. The token gains haste.
3/3
NAME, Ring ResonatorGUR
Legendary Creature — Elemental Wizard
Whenever you activate an ability of another permanent you control, if it isn't a mana ability, you may pay 2. If you do, copy that ability. You may choose new targets for the copy. 2, T: Copy target triggered ability of another permanent you control.
1/4
NAME, Maelstrom WandererXGUR
Legendary Creature — Elemental
Cascade, haste
~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it for each spell you've cast this turn.
For each card type, the first spell you cast this turn of that type gains cascade.
Whenever you cast a spell without paying its mana cost, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
The transcendent is crazy broken. Dropping 6 and 7 cmc elementals for 2 mana and with your guy either costing 3 to start or being obscenely durable means that this isnt a pipe dream.
Rings Resonator, rings of brighthearth attached to strionic resonator. Far from original but neat. Probably broken as heck as well.
Maelstrom Wanderer, let me get this right. If cast as the first spell of your turn with X equals 3 then you have a 6 mana 6/6 that gives nearly everything cascade. Looking at the upward potential its safer to just make it double X rather than give a ceiling that is unfair. Also what does the "this turn" mean. It's not part of a trigger but rather a static ability so is it meant to mean every turn or is it meant to be part of an etb?
Okay, what if the clone token left behind is a 1/1? That way, it's like you're getting a smaller version of the Elemental for reduced cost.

How is the Ring Resonator broken? Any more so than the Rings or Resonator themselves?

That does a lot to mitigate how overwhelming it is.
As for Ring Resonator, I specifically said probably because both of those effects are very strong, putting them on the same permanent makes that single permanent significantly better than either one. So yes, it is significantly stronger than rings or resonator because it is also the other one. That means there is a strong chance it could be broken, but being a creature means it can't resonate the same turn and is generally more vulnerable. So it might not be. If you combine two highly playable cards into the same card without increasing its cost the new card would be considered significantly stronger than either of the previous two.
NAME, Maelstrom WandererXGUR
Legendary Creature — Elemental
Cascade, haste
~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it for each spell you've cast this turn.
For each card type, the first spell you cast this turn of that type gains cascade.
Whenever you cast a spell without paying its mana cost, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
0/0
Needs clarification whether casting my first artifact creature a turn means it has cascade once or twice. I'd go with "If you cast a spell that shares no card type with a spell you have cast before it this turn..."

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Is it better gameplay if the card gains cascade for each card type, or only gains cascade once?

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
