Description of deck by Riki Hayashi @ www.brainburst.com (quoted):
Your goal with this deck is to blow up the world and have a follow up with a threat. Balancing Act can achieve a full global reset in this deck because all of its lands have a sacrifice ability, as do other stray permanents like Chromatic Sphere and Terrarion (and Sensei's Divining Top can be hidden back on top of your library). Obliterate simply wipes everything out (except enchantments) without the hassle of having to get rid of your permanents first, and it's uncounterable to boot. There are two ways of going about securing a threat after your reset. First you can just float mana and drop a creature like classic Upheaval/Tog. With either of your reset spells destroying all lands in play, Terravore goes from "cute casual card" to "two turn clock." The other path is to play Anurid Brushhopper and "slide" it out of play the turn you blow up the world. That's the deck in a nutshell. The rest of the cards aim to smooth out your draws and mana issues. Burning Wish provides several unique answers to problems as well as access to more copies of your two big sorceries.
