Notes
 
11 Combo: 8 Cascade +3 Balance
32 Mana: 16 borderpost +12 lands +4 Spiritguides
12 Threats: 4 Gargadon +4 Colossus +3 Tezzeret +1 March
5 Flex: 3 Tutor +1 ORing +1 Blood Moon

maybe lose 1-2 colors to make the mana base more resistent to artifact hate, drop blue/white
-> if you want to drop colors, you also need to drop ardent plea in favor of demonic dread :/

oblivion ring vs detention sphere (oring easier to cast!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are way to many artifact hate spells way too common in the top modern decks, therefore the borderpost-version seems weak to the top modern meta. Sure the deck can take wins of most top modern decks, but in the end it will get hated out and never win a big tournament :/ All in all the deck is fun to play, kind of uncommon and cheap to build, but it will never be a top modern deck.

    Hi! I love Balance decks. How does your deck doing? Do you tested it?

    I am started to put different win con in my decks (nahiri, gifts ungiven etc), if you interested it you can find my decks on my profile (in the 'versenyek' subfolder you can even check the result of it.) 
    I havent tested the Colossus yet, do you have some result with it?

      actually im back to deck building. i used to play a budget balance deck, which worked quite well, but i dont have a real modern community to test it. if you are interested you there is a restore balance thread on mtg salvation
