I've been crafting this deck since the day Arcades was spoiled 2 years ago and this is it. This is my final iteration. I've loved playing and improving this deck, but, aside from new broken walls coming out or new very blatant bant staples, this is probably where it will stay. Just thought I would share my list.

I'm no good at guides so I’ll just share a couple points and be on my way. I'm sure there is much better arcades guides out there, and to be honest this is a bit for personal reference. That being said if anyone has any questions or comments about my list I'll gladly answer them.

The loss of Paradox Engine of course hurt, but not as much as it hurt other decks. For infinite win, its basically just elfball with walls, or Wallball. The combo is Aluren + Cloudstone Curio . A neat thing about this deck though is that you don't need the full combo to win. If you have Jeskai Barricade, you don’t need the curio.

You win either through bouncing Wall of Lost Thoughts to mill or buy bouncing with arcades on the board until you deck yourself and play Thassa's Oracle.

What’s nice about the wincon package is its small, and it doesn't bog the rest of the deck down as it has practical uses outside of the combo.

Or you can also just win by slapping a nice big meaty Craterhoof Behemoth on the board and trampling everyone to death with the wall you promised were just harmless walls.

You'd be surprised how many games it’s the latter, however, I like having the combo in the back because it makes me feel special, and not like I’m playing a hurr durr beater deck, even though there’s nothing wrong with that.

I've geared this deck to a very high-power level, but you can make this deck at any powerlevel and still have a blast. I can't write a budget guide unfortunately as I don’t have the time but again feel free to ask questions.

A side note, but don't underestimate the power of the lopsided board wipes. I don't think most people realize this playing against this deck at first, but it's a lot of the real power.

That’s it from me, and if there’s anyone out there in 2020 still interested in playing walls, welcome, make yourself at home.
