Bedrock Tortoise
Creature — Turtle
As long as it's your turn, creatures you control have hexproof. (They can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.)
Each creature you control with toughness greater that its power assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.

Azeure To be honest there is plenty of redundancy that we don't play:
The only one worth running for me is High Alert because it does both "every creatures with defender may attack" and "they assign combat damage equal to their toughness" for every creatures without having to pay mana to apply the effect.
The second best one for me is Assault Formation but i still cuted it. Bedrock Tortoise is almost playable, if either the hexproof was not conditionnal to your turn or if it's mana value was 3 instead of 4.
For 3 mana we usually have 0/7 defender without abilities Glacial Wall / Wall of Ice or 0/6 with abilities Hover Barrier ( i don't take into account the 2 very good 3 mana drop that are Wall of Denial / Weathered Sentinels).
So now let's review Plagon, Lord of the Beach, Plagon is only a 0/3, don't deal damage equal to it's toughness without paying 1 extra mana each time, it's doesn't draw us a card with Arcades and it's ability only fufill one of the 2 needed condition for redundancy as explained above. I agree it could draw us lot of cards, ranging from 2 to 5-6. If we didn't had draw engine in the command zone i would say it worth it, bu since we have one i don't thinks it's necessary.
It's already very hard to find room for each new creatures cards, i'm already having hard time finding room for Crystal Barricade and consider removing Brave the Sands from my deck. A 3 mana creature has to be really really good to make the cut in Arcades now, and i don't speak about 4 mana creatures. I'm still on fence regarding Corrupted Shapeshifter since the only 4 mana creatures i play are Arcades, Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa and Tree of Redemption, and i wonder if i would not rather include Towering Titan instead as another wincon.

keizerbuns I'd say replace 1 or 2 Arcades with Hull Clade(s), they both have similar draw effects. If you're concerned about losing the special ability, Bedrock Tortoise also has it so you could chuck one or two of those in there. They're also not Legendary so don't have to worry about multiples out at once.

That makes perfect sense, good choice. Maybe to provide some insight on the process the deck went through. I used to have Calcite Snapper as a way to deals damage without Assault Formation, but that wasn't needed anymore due to Bedrock Tortoise being released. A value card I used was Benefaction of Rhonas, as it was able to grab a Turtle and Formation. That could find its way back in at one point, bur for now it works just fine.
Have fun with the deck, and if find more tech to upgrade it with, please let me know. The tribe is just sooo fun.

I reallly like the idea. Without looking into soecific picks all too much, wouldn't Bedrock Tortoise be a pretty great addition?

Maybe give new Bedrock Tortoise a shot? I'm not a pioneer player, but a 6/6 that protects your creatures against Instant speed removal and has potential to increase combat damage seems pretty ok.
