Is anyone else running a restore balance deck? I'd like to see and compare some deck lists to my own. I've seen a few versions but I'm running {borderposts} with {cascades} (obviously) and {gargadons} an nihiliths for my creatures. I also run a couple {phyrexian totem} and {march of the machines} as backup.

You can link to cards by putting curly brackets around it.

I didn't know I'd already paired this here! Anyway, I'm thinking of replacing a lot of the lands with the scars lands I.e.  {Blackcleave Cliffs}. Mainly because this deck won't ever have out more than two lands at a time. Thoughts?

That actually sounds like a good idea to me.

For sure! They're pretty cheap to pick up right now too, and are an easy way to fix your mana.

I like it alot! Cool idea. To make it faster, since you included islands, you should put  {Paradox Haze} to speed up everything.

That's a pretty cool card that would go well with a curse deck. You'd go and search for two curses in one turn right?

That's a really good idea, I'll have to mess around and see if I can fit it in.

The great thing is that this card stacks too. I had a suspend deck long ago that had a bunch of those resuspend cards that would do their effect every single turn because I had 3 paradox hazes out. Lmao.

Ugh you guys I just realized you can't really use the scars lands for this deck, because the borderposts read that you pay 1 and return a BASIC land you control to your hand. Lame, I was super excited for the new land base :(

So it seems to me like you would end up with a number of lands in your hand, keeping what on the battlefield at a minimum?

If so you could try {Arcane Spyglass} to help increase your effectiveness and get passed extra lands that will just slow your turns down.

Also check out  {Knight of the Reliquary} if this kind of thing works well here.  {Bant Panorama} may also assist?

Also  {Khalni Gem}?
