Bant aggro is not very common, especially not if nearly all your creatures are defenders. But with Arcades leading the way, your opponents are in for a whole new world of hurt. Bring out Arcades, the Strategist and turn your low power high toughness defenders into huge beatsticks and attack with all of them.

Any thoughts or advice would be great.
