Description: Thank you for your interest in my auction. I am selling the following item: A Custom Arcades, the Strategist Commander Deck: This is a commander deck built around Arcades, the Strategist. It is for the Commander/EDH format and includes 100 cards. The Commander/EDH format is a singleton format meaning you can have no more than a single copy of any given card other than basic land in the deck. The listing includes a Lightly Played to Near Mint player-made deck, an Ultra Pro Commander 100+ deck box to house the cards, and a set of pro sleeves to protect the cards in the deck. The deck’s commander is Arcades, the Strategist and the other 99 cards in the deck include Walls, cards that enhance your walls, as well as other support cards. This Arcades, the Strategist Commander deck is designed around the unique power of defender creatures, turning walls and other high-toughness blockers into deadly attackers. With Arcades as the commander, your walls not only provide unparalleled defense but also become efficient attackers by using their toughness as power. The deck leverages this synergy to build an unbreakable wall of defense that can easily transition into a potent offensive force.Key Synergies and Win Conditions: Arcades, the Strategist + Defender Creatures (Walls) With Arcades on the battlefield, your defender creatures, such as Wall of Blossoms, Wall of Denial, and Wall of Glare, become powerful attackers, utilizing their high toughness to deal damage. Additionally, Arcades allows you to draw cards each time you play a defender, giving you a steady source of card advantage to outvalue opponents. Assault Formation + Wall Creatures Assault Formation enables your defender creatures to attack and assigns damage based on their toughness. Combined with cards like Stalwart Shield-Bearers and Fortified Area, your walls not only gain attack potential but also become highly resilient, turning the game in your favor through powerful defensive and offensive tactics. Axebane Guardian + Overgrown Battlement / Wall of Roots This combination ramps your mana by tapping your defender creatures for additional mana. This allows you to quickly ramp into larger threats or cast more defender creatures to maximize your board presence, all while maintaining a strong defense. Dusk/Dawn + High-Toughness Walls Dusk/Dawn provides a powerful board wipe that spares your high-toughness defenders while clearing most of the opponent's creatures, leaving you with an open path for attack. Dawn can then be used to bring back your low-power walls, allowing you to refill your board after a sweep. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive + Low-Power Defenders With Tetsuko on the field, your low-power defenders like Wall of Blossoms and Wall of Denial gain unblockable attacks. This allows you to swing with impunity, knowing that your walls will bypass enemy defenses. This Arcades, the Strategist Commander deck offers a fresh and creative take on the defender mechanic. It transforms walls and defenders into both impenetrable shields and potent attackers, while drawing cards and gaining powerful synergy from cards like Assault Formation and Tetsuko Umezawa. The deck is perfect for players who enjoy a strategic, defensive approach that can quickly shift into a surprising and overwhelming offense. So if you like Big Butts, Smashing face with hard to kill creatures, or just playing an Aggro version of Fort then this deck is for you!
