Arcades, the Strategist. I'd say this is a decently optimized deck (power level 8) but not quite at the competitive level. If you're lucky, you can combo out fairly early. Otherwise, its pretty decent at swarming the field and deal a lot of combat damage as long as you have Arcades or any other card on the field that lets you swing.

Derived from the "Wall-Ball Combo" on mtgsalvation/mtgnexus, my version is a little watered down but still very capable.
