I wanted to make a deck based on Restore Balance , as Balance was one of my favorite cards to use back in the day, plus I love cascade and suspend. 27-02-15-balanced-breakfast gave me the idea for the borderposts, which really make this viable. I decided to mix things up to try and be a bit lower price point and higher consistency.

I considered running miracles, but getting a card trapped in hand could be a major problem for this deck. Still, Terminus and Thunderous Wrath are considerations
