I would suggest running Darksteel Ingot over Manalith as it costs the same, does the same thing, but has that nice little indestructibility working for it.

Good idea! I never would have thought of that :P

i love this deck idea but how much would it cost altogether?

@irongiant77

Approximately 130 dollars. Its pretty budget for a well performing deck! I almost finished the paper version, and Im still making plenty of changes to it at the moment.

How successful have you found Vraska the Unseen to be? I'm running a similar deck. How about Anger of the Gods instead of Firespout?

@squarebear47:

I've found Vraska to work very well, but I am still undecided if I want Ajani Vengeant. She works well by blowing up creatures and enchantments my opponent may have, and giving me the assassins as an optional game ender. I also use it as an outlet to kill my own creatures before I cast restore balance, if I need to get rid of them with the absence of Greater Gargadon. I was recently considering Anger of the Gods over Firespout, but mainly because the double red can be a pain. Regardless of Darksteel Ingot and two red posts, its still a bit difficult. However, your comment made me re-consider my options :)

Thanks for commenting!

Restore Balance decks are so cool.

I'm not really feeling the black. It doesn't seem to be contributing much beyond excessive redundancy. I doubt the mana diversity is too much of an issue, but it feels like wasted space in the deck. I don't think the deck I played against ran black.

I don't like Riftwing Cloudskate, either. It doesn't feel like it does anything of consequence.

Hey @Destrian

thanks for commenting. The good thing about this deck is I rarely get mana screwed. The black mana is no problem, and still plays a major role in this deck. By running Nihilith, I can have a fast beater. Against decks like dredge, jund, or living end, he acts as a punishment. The black is also used for casting a valuable combo piece; Demonic Dread. I also run Darksteel Ingot which is a multi colored mana generator, allowing me to keep hands of different colors. Another thing is that Restore Balance decks are supposed to be all colored, giving the player a different options for control cards. Your point on Riftwing Cloudskate is also a good one. I was recently considering of getting rid of it for maybe some more controlo cards. but in case you dont see why I am running it in the first place, I will gladly explain. I use it as a sort of balancing card. Allowing me to bounceback permanents to the hands of owners allows me to keep control of both my board and the opponents. In some occasions, I found myself bouncing a land back with it, if a gargadon is not present. Unfortunately, it is not working the way I want it to. Thankyou for your input again!
