Here's my version of a modern cascade Restore Balance deck. Unusual choices for reasons listed:

Court Hussar over Thieves' Fortune: I've been finding the extra Gargadon sac trigger more useful than instant speed and digging one additional card. Still not 100% sold on the switch though.

no Idyllic Tutor toolbox: budget constraints

GG and Nihilith in the main: I liked the added diversity and evasion. I'm also pretty cautious about things like Slaughter Games, which can ruin this deck pretty hard.
