Anti control sideboard

Deck Help forum

I would really appreciate some help for my modern Restore Balance cascade deck. The cards need to be CMC 3 or greater, but other than that, they can do anything, as long as it hurts control.

Thanks

I'm playing Restore Balance right now as well (my list is Communist Daughter), and althought I haven't formed a sideboard yet I do have some thoughts.

First of all, look at things like Miracle, Evoke, Forecast, and so forth that allow you to cast a spell for less than it's normal cost.

I've found Liliana Vess is a bitch for control. Aggro and Midrange can usually burn or beat her away, but control just has to eat the discard and watch while you tutor for everything you need.

Oh, and Blood Moon . I even run one mainboard. It shits on basically every Control deck.

But how do you deal with restore balance getting remanded?

I usually play around that sort of thing. I can usually read when my opponent has a counterspell, so it doesn't happen much. I've been considering using Vendilion Clique to put Restore Balance s stuck in my hand into my deck again, but idk if it works.
