Arcades deck. You know what it is.

Arcades has quickly become one of my favorite casual decks. His 2 unique abilities give us both great draw and quite a bit of combat power all from the command zone.

With the draw ability we have all the gas we need and an easy way to deck ourselves with only a few other combo pieces Jace, Wielder of Mysteries , Cloudstone Curio , and either infinite mana generation with Axebane Guardian + High Alert or a mana discount through Aluren in my mind are the best ways to go about it.

With Arcades' other ability we pretty much always have the biggest creatures on board. Most walls are 2 mana, allowing us to play 2 or 3 each turn while also potentially drawing more gas. We have Crashing Drawbridge and Concordant Crossroads for surprise swings after throwing a few creatures down. Combat is generally a secondary win condition, but we can often find ourselves easily capable of overpowering our opponents' defenses. We can either choose to circumvent those defenses with Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive or just go right through them with Triumph of the Hordes .

Arcades is absolutely necessary for the deck to function properly. Getting him out and protecting him are super important. Because if this, I choose to run Chulane, Teller of Tales as a psuedo back up win condition. We are in great colors for interaction so protecting Arcades should not be difficult.
