Hey I'm just being honest. XD

The new hype of new Elder Dragons were not fallen on blind eyes by me, as it hasn't with most of my fellow commander players. Was quite surprised when I saw Arcades came out because I was actually working on the Azban version. Seeing blue had much better walls than black I saw my shining star shoot like a dragon in the night. lol

Anyways being aggressive is the game. It's not always good idea to immediately throw out Arcades to the world though. The deck doesn't function well without him as he is the one who Animates your walls and keeps your engine going with the ability to replace walls you play for more cards. So playing a couple things out first to defend your board state is a great idea. Gorm the Great adds a nice big threat for the early game
