This deck revolves around getting Arcades, the Strategist out with a bunch of walls, making for a few early threats. This along with unblockable mechanics like Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive and Suspicious Bookcase make for some scary offensive potential.

For defense we have our naturally high toughness creatures, along with some hexproof mechanics through Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Curator's Ward and Dive Down. Putting Curator's Ward on Shalai, Voice of Plenty is a neat interaction that makes everything, yourself included hexproof, with no way save for boardwipes to play around it.

We can pump our offensiveness of walls through Aegis of the Heavens and Dive Down, as these give walls +3/+3 or +7/+7 respectively.

Blackblade Reforged and Traxos, Scourge of Kroog are great in this deck setup.

To find our cards, we are running card:Memorial of unity and Board the Weatherlight, while having additional card draw through Anticipate, card:Memorial of genius , Curator's Ward and Arcades, the Strategist card draw trigger.

For our answers we are looking towards white exile mechanics, and Disdainful Stroke. Generally speaking, creatures below 4cmc cant beat through our walls, so there is no need to counter them, and this spell also counters the big card advantage cards in control decks.
