Built this deck to draw cards, lots of cards. I've included a decent about of protection for my board state.

I've also tried to add more card draw NOT dependent on Arcades, the Strategist as I have found the past iterations of this deck, that leaning too heavily on him is a poor decision. He is a huge piece, but not a Keystone as he once was by including other ways to draw and have my walls attack.

The win cons are to beat down opponents with big butts, Aetherflux Reservoir which pairs nicely with the life gain package in the deck, or drawing the deck to infinite turns with Nexus of Fate.
