I was very excited by the printing of arcades and want to build the best possible defender deck for kitchen table purposes. Whenever you want to test a full potential of a card the legacy card pool is the best place to experiment. Please note I'm not suggesting that defenders could ever be competitive or viable in legacy. you would always rather run elves or whatnot instead. anyways I opted to go for the elves combo package and a splash of Maveric hate bears to fight combo (i am testing this online casual legacy play so I need gaddock and stuff which can safely be removed for kitchen table purposes). any suggestions are welcome.
