Okay so the name said Restore Balance, so we win by playing Restore Balance right? Correct, so let's break this deck down card by card. Restore Balance is effectively the old card Balance without a mana cost. The only way you can play it is by suspending it for one white and waiting 6 turns... or by cascading into it. So we have an effective way to cast our Restore balances with our cascade cards, now we just have to get the best value out of it. Well Restore Balance balances 3 things between players, Lands, Creatures, and Cards in Hand. You might have noticed that the deck only runs 12 lands. Well thats because we have these really cool cards called borderposts. What the do is the are mana rocks that enter tapped and cost 1 and one of the two different colors they tap for. But you can also cast then by paying one and returning a basic land you control to it's owners hand. So you play your land, return it, playing the borderpost. Whalah, one mana next turn, no lands. When you cast the cascade spell you should have 1 or 0 lands in play, effectively armageddoning your opponent. If you're stuck for mana you can use Simian Spirit Guides as well.Next up is creatures. We don't have many to start and our creatures look really hard to cast. They have that very fun keyword suspend as well. Expect these are card we aren't going to cascade into, we're gonna get them the slow way. When the Restore Balance goes off a bunch of things will be going to the graveyard from our opponent, lowing Nihilith's time counters. Also Greater Gargodon gives us a sac outlet for any lands or creatures we happen to have on the field when the balance is o the stack as well. The lingering souls can produce spirits, but I use those mainly as trump blockers or to pressure a pesky planeswalker. Finally, we have March of the Machines to make all of our borederposts 3/3 to beat down through a clear board.As far as cards in hand go, we don't have many ways to manipulate that expect for casting spells. Sometimes you will discard, sometimes your opponent will. It will be okay, you should be the one getting the most value out of balance.Quick sideboard run through. The one card this deck shuts down to is Stony Silence. We added 4 Wispmares to deal with that. Because of the evoke cost, it won't mess up our mana curve or our cascades at all. The same goes with ingot chewer but this guy kills artifacts. The Ricochet Trap is for the pesky pesky blue players that like to counterspell things. It allows you to pay one red and turn that dumb counterspell right back on itself. Firespout is generally a good boardwipe that isn't awfully color specific so we can generally cast it how we need to. And lastly we added another dismember for when we need just a tad more instant speed removal.

This is a really cool deck, although i'd recommend putting your sideboard cards in the sideboard.Just one question: Why the evolving wilds/terramorphic expanse? It seems as though you would want your borderposts coming in on your first turn, and if your lands enter tapped, they can't pay the 1 mana to cheat out the Borderposts.

Fixed the sideboard. There are sometimes you don't quite have the right color and need to find the right basic. It's usually okay to turn 1 evolving wilds because you can still play 2 borderposts on turn 2. Just simply tap the land, bounce and play, and then replay the land, bounce and play.
