After this video I'll have to rethink my Arcades Commander deck, there are new possibilities that I didn't know by the time I build it firstly. Thank you so much ❤

[@aitorpe2990]

blinking cards like Eerie interlude, laezel acrobatics or another round are so efective

Whenever I heard Arcades, the Strategist - I automatically think Big Butts Matter for the archetype. Typically a card with Defender applies to this rule as well. With that being said though, this was a great look at how to go about building this deck. Not a deck I have built myself, but I have played against Arcades in the past and it is surprisingly strong for what you look at from just a base level. The ground work has been there for this commander for a while now, but still awesome checking out another persons opinion as it can just open up so many viewpoints and perspectives that someone may have missed when building it themselves. I know personally I get excited when I see a deck showcased from you that I either have or have planned to build as it just allows me to get a better look at a commander then I could ever have hoped for doing it by myself. The addition of Alluren and Cloudstone Curio combo is a very interesting one, and something I never thought about for this build. Rasaad yn Bashir can be a game ender in this deck for sure, such a powerful addition from Baldur's Gate. Spicy brew for the baseline of this deck as always MTGB, fantastic watch as always as well. Keep up all the phenomenal work and we will see you on the next one.

Great video! I’m new to magic, was able to take some of the more cost effective items and order the entire deck excluding lads for around $35!

[@ericr4677]

I like 👍🏾 this deck

[@zeffyr5135]

Everyone should try a wall deck!! Fun and really affordable to put together!

[@Delilah_Darkpelt]

OMG A baby! (all dragons are babies)

[@tedhr392]

sweet deck

[@KrisPSouls9258]

I don't think there are many if anyone who don't like dragon's.

[@ericr4677]

Lol imma have to dust off my wall deck. I turned it into Chulane w/ arcades the strategist being the hidden commander.

[@kennyboi01]

Wall of denial can’t attack because arcades ability doesn’t work on shroud
