I have tried to make a funny defender deck based on the usual Commander [Arcades] but with a twist using more counter spells than the usual decks here. it has some mana issues that I am currently trying to fix, so any ideas and comments, are welcomed. The whole idea started with a lucky draft of Arcades. I looked at the card for quite some time before deciding to build a denial of removal deck. I hope I have achieved building a deck that can be mostly just casual but still have some funny sidekick cards to have 50/50 win ratio.
