Artifact (2)
Defender tribal with legendary elder dragon Arcades, the Strategist as general.
I need some casual decks and this should be one of them. Let's say 75 %.
I am looking for advices how to make the deck more consistent, more resilient and faster.
The things I know I have to change (based on my last playtesting):
- I need at least 25 defenders, so I may drop one (currently 26 defenders)
- Must add Crystal Shard - for protection (of my creatures), removal and combo
- maybe more ramp (and less lands and maybe Land Tax)
- change Laboratory Maniac for Thassa's Oracle (waiting to get another copy of this card)
Because he's Bant (), he draws cards and gives bonus to defenders ..
- ??? => Shifting Wall - combo ..
??? (not sure about it)
Need to squeeze in:
- Sensei's Divining Top
- Tower Defense
- Eerie Interlude - blink effect (protect / draw cards / do both ..)
- Dovin's Veto - great counterspell
- Guard Gomazoa
- Land Tax - crazy card advantage (and mana fixing) for just
- Finale of Devastation - tutor on the battlefield and sometimes even wincon
- Runic Armasaur - may draw a lot of cards in semicompetetive meta
- Avacyn's Pilgrim - mana ramp (and fixing)
- Farseek - ramp
- Force of Vigor - (free) removal!
- Crop Rotation - instant land tutor
- Gaea's Cradle - best green land
- Axebane Guardian + Intruder Alarm + Wall of Kelp => infinite Kelps (0/1 Walls)
- Cloudstone Curio + Intruder Alarm + mana dorks + 2 creatures => draw the library (and win with Laboratory Maniac)
- Cloudstone Curio + Aluren + 2 creatures (CMC =< 3) => -||-
- Assault Formation - boost the defenders
Instants:
- Congregation at Dawn - tutors 3 creatures on top of your library => combo!
- Eladamri's Call - tutors one creature directly to your hand
- Enlightened Tutor - tutors one artifact or enchantment directly to your hand
- Worldly Tutor - tutors 1 creature on top of your library
- Crop Rotation - instantly tutors any land - must fit in
Sorceries:
- Finale of Devastation - tutors on battlefield and may be a wincon as well - must fit in
- Green Sun's Zenith - tutors on battlefield, may ramp as well (with Dryad Arbor) - considering
Transmute targets:
(It is sorcery speed , but the cards have some other functions as well)
Muddle the Mixture - serves as protection (counterspell) as well
- Lightning Greaves
- Assault Formation
- Sylvan Library
- Return to the Ranks
- Lavinia, Azorius Renegade
- Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive
- Wall of Kelp
Drift of Phantasms - it is a defender as well
- Dusk / Dawn - only creature with power 3+ is - Arcades, the Strategist
- Fell the Mighty - target almost any of the walls or so :-)
- Retribution of the Meek
- Wave of Reckoning - hits Laboratory Maniac only
- Lavinia, Azorius Renegade - protects against free spells (Force of Will/Force of Negation/Pact of Negation) and prevents your opponents from using Aluren :)
- Ghostway - better than Eerie Interlude because it doesn't target
- Knight of Autumn - I needed some art./ench. removal "on stick" (tutorable by creature tutors), this is strictly better version of Reclamation Sage
- Originally based on Competitive Arcades
- Impenetrable Shield [Aggro Combo]
- Arcades, Selvala's little Dragon.
- Arcades Storm
- Arcades, the Strategist: The Premiere Primer
- Combo-Cades: The Wallmaster | EDH
- Nobody has the intention of building a Wall
- Tall Wall Roll Call (Trumps wet dream)
- Arcades presents: "Wonderwall"
- Arcades cEDH - CMC 1,76 !
