Idea is to suspend Nihilith/Greater gargadon, then cascade into Restore balance and get nihilith/gargadon resolved asap

Or the Gargadon or Nihilith, which are also non lands.

Gargadon and Nihilith are fine as they are higher than 3cmc

Update, added in Æther Grid, Spy Network, Beast Within, Thassa, Bring to Light.

Æther Grid can help me deal some damage with borderposts.
Spy Network will be handy after balancing to fill my board and draw.
Beast within because everyone needs removal. Can use to it give myself a 3/3 beater.
Thassa for scry, and with borderposts/spy network usually enough devotion to start swinging.
Bring to Light to help me hit anything I need, though usually it will be a cascade spell

My buddy runs a modified version of this. He runs {woodland wanderer} to cast after balance to get that 6/6 trample vigilance  it's pretty brutal. He also has started to test  {Bring to Light} to cast cards he needs at that moment

I've got 4x Wispmare for sideboard, 1 Mistveil Plains and 4x Bring to Light for mainboard on the way. If they arrive in time i'll run them. Will post a report after fnm :-)

Updated, this is my current list for FNM's. Working sweet, especially with Ajani Vengeant in there. Dropping him the turn after balance usually locks the game down tight

Updated, added in two Metalwork Colossus as they have been doing well in testing
