June 29th Company Meeting >>> July 13 Conclusions —July 13, 2018

The meeting during this time was heated and intense due to the many possible suggestions that would work for the final inventory selection. We came back and forth as to which held priority first, Form & Function or Persistent Protection. Weeks had passed by and we have come to a conclusion.

Our CEO has agreed and affirmed with his employees that he will not need any chair to show his magnificence, making sure to spend more time in managing on the go. Avacyn was one of our big products but have decided that, with how much resilience and durability our walls have and the amount of accessories available, it is safe to take of inventory in favor of a more "frontline" approach when handling our products. Brago shall be in its place as he is able to fully maximize the capabilities of our walls. Finally, despite the usefulness of the helmet, many of our important units get lost from time to time when needed so we have brought along Eladamri's Call to be able to find them at a moment's notice.

We believe that this provides a total healthy mix of form, function, and protection to our products and will gain us significant experience and data on our road to optimal efficiency. Testing phase should begin soon.

More products are suggested and have been suggested within our inbox and here at the forums and we here at Arcades' truly appreciate your help for our emporium to become the best it can be. Thank you all and stay tuned for the next update.

Thank you joecool1299 for your opinions and suggestions in regards to our collection. I will try to explain and answer your concerns to the best of my ability.

Dragon Throne of Tarkir I personally have no excuse for this as to why it was not included. Must have been overlooked. The best Wall CEO must have the best chair to sit on.

Crenellated Wall We had this during our first wave stock but surprised as well not to see it. Will take care of that as soon as possible. Does not need additional tempering and improves wall efficiency.

Shield Sphere We were not informed the existence of such wall. Some of our employees are new so it is possible that it was not known to them.

Wall of Nets I agree this is mandatory for the various annoyances that run rampant along our aisles.

Panharmonicon Though it is true that this will push value further, we do feel that it may not be as consistent as we think. But will see to its use after we run more tests.

Rolling Stones It may be redundant but there are times our CEO may not be around and away for his business meetings so it is a way to continue wall production.

Shield of the Oversoul This is mainly used as an ego boost as he is frequently bullied by his cousins and siblings. After therapy we can consider its recall.

All these will be addressed during this meeting and changes may bee implemented within a day or two after the meeting has concluded. One again, thank you.

I've already got an old Arcades Sabboth Wall deck...to say it's going to get an upgrade with the new version is an understatement! Here are some recommendations:

Harsh Mercy Blow up everything but Walls! Kindred Discovery Just awesome for card draw. Kindred Summons Double the Walls, double the fun. Island Sanctuary Who needs a Draw Step when you have the new Arcades? Mentor of the Meek More cards, more wins. Feed the Pack Overwhelm the board with Wolf tokens ftw. Sunweb Big fatty with evasion. Illusionary Wall See above. Walking Wall Can be pumped up to stupidly high levels. Fortified Area Buffs Walls. Animate Wall Get on the attack early. Colossus of Akros With Monstrosity he is a boss late game. Sphere of Safety I run a lot of Enchantments so it's in.

I have a few card suggestions.

Cathedral Membrane: Cheap, strong deterrent. With Arcades out, you could block and kill a 9 toughness creature.

Ezuri, Claw of Progress: Use it to pump Arcades. Plays well along side Dragon Throne of Tarkir.

Aluren + Cloudstone Curio: Draw your deck by casting your walls for free and bouncing them.

Rabid_Wombat and 1empyrean Thank you for your opinions and suggestions in regards to improvement. The meeting is almost concluded so there is some time to include these in for discussion. Inventory reorganization commences within the day or the next, depending on what will be decided.

Cool deck! The minute I saw the new Arcades I started working on a version myself (though it is not as well thought out as yours at the moment). Here are some cards that might interest you though:

Belligerent Brontodon and Wakestone Gargoyle provide additional ways to animate, and deal damage if Arcades isn't out.

Living Wall (very resilient) and Mobile Fort (animates itself) are two other high "power" walls for cheap that you could consider.

Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa, Wonder, or Brawn grant more evasion.

Defender of the Order is a great surprise buff to you wall team.

Temur Sabertooth bounces walls for more draw triggers and can protect Arcades in a pinch.

Good luck deck building! +1 from me

Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor Sidar Kondo is currently our main priority for an upcoming update. We are currently undergoing another meeting in regards to the matter of further optimization. Many other products have been presented to us throughout the many days we have begun establishment and we really appreciate all the wonderful offers.

We here at Arcades' thank you for your further suggestions.

I like this deck!!

What do you think if put in some creature tutor such as Eladamri's Call or Worldly Tutor for tutoring Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, with Tetsuko on the board, you may kill someone in a single combat.

Thank you.
