All these enchantments, and no "Enduring Ideal"?

Just want to add that Warstorm Surge > Where Ancients Tread.
You might consider elvish piper, any of the legendary eldrazi, mossbridge troll, serra avatar, gisela blade of goldnight. Looks like a really decent build.
Master biomancer and zameck guildmage are other options to explore with persist.
Bouncing my own cascade creatures and/or utility creatures is the point. A cascade creature runs into another creature (2 for 1), I get an effect like Blade splicer, then if I run into a faerie imposter or kor skyfisher its not the end of the world, I'll bounce my creature and replay it to get its effect again. If worse comes to worse for the skyfisher, I can return a land to replay on a later turn. I've had 5-7 creatures in play frequently by turn 5 thanks to cascade and bouncing. I will bounce my cascade creature any chance I can get, because the deck is setup to have the cascades run into another creature. Bouncing your own creatures is not as much of a drawback as you would think.
'Grats on getting top-decked!
Precursor Golem is metalcraft on a stick.
Desolate Lighthouse? Maybe Lightning Maulers to attack with Misthollows when you cast them?
4x strip mine
Maybe throw some changelings in there, or Adaptive Automaton?
A deck to kill angels without Halo Hunter? A travesty.
Needs more birthing pod. Door of Destinies doesn't work (unless you're intending to power up the splicers) with these golems, since they aren't being casted and just put on the battlefield. I would find a way to put in some 2 costing myr for mana, then sacrifice them to birthing pods eventually and climb the converted mana cost ladder with it.
I enjoyed playing against this deck. Legendary fun!
Cruel Revival is a nice removal spell for this deck. Also needs Door of Destinies, Coat of Arms, Call to the Kindred, Spell Crumple, Hinder, Spin into Myth. For non-zombie creatures you could consider Consecrated Sphinx for card advantage, Phyrexian Ingester for exiling, Sphinx of Uthuun for more card advantage. Just some suggestions. Might wanna throw Gravecrawler in there to have some fun pumping Grimgrin to giant sizes, and you can go infinite ftw if you have Rooftop Storm, diregraf captain, gravecrawler, and grimgrin out.
I've faced this deck before, and let me tell you. The possibilities of getting wrecked right from turn 4 are just innumerable. If it's not a Balefire Dragon lockout, then it becomes a game of removing the things that come out with Kaalia (which sometimes you just can't keep up). This Kaalia seems to have Shroud or Hexproof, Indestructable, and definately haste among other things.
Great deck, I think if you added Fervor and took out Dangerous Wager it would be improved. Haste is great for something like this, especially if you can haste Gisela into play. Maybe find room for Valor if you can.
Great deck! Maybe it could use an Elixer of Immortality in case your opponent destroys those orbs. More tutors wouldn't be a bad thing either.
