Hey paperponcho, thanks for your feedback. I agree, that Meekstone is kinda situational, but it saved me more than once from big swings (especially if it's only between me and the last opponent). But feel free to replace it, but share your replacement card with us :) Glad, that you also like Sacred Rites, not everyone is a fan!

Love Arcades, it's my number 1 deck to play.

I found Meekstone to be counterproductive tho. Since you are running big but walls, often opponents tent to send their attacks to other players. Meekstone limit these attacks.

Great list! I added Sacred Rites to my list after seeing yours :)

HobbyGamer007 I'm a bit torn about Sacred Rites, it won me several games already, but it is also somehow situational. Same for The Birth of Meletis, it is vulnerable to removal, on the other hand it may bait a removal spell and therefor protects better spells. I think it needs more testint and I'm also curious about your guys feedback!

K4m4r0 The Birth of Meletis should be about as good as Wall of Omens. IMHO it is very good, let's you keep more hands. Also, do you happen to flood the board with creatures a lot? If so I'd cut the terrible Sacred Rites for a Conclave Tribunal. This one is good removal, at sometimes 1 mana and let's you use your mana in a stall, or use your mana on creatures.

Removed Congregation at Dawn And added in Sacred Rites

We are pretty close to the same but a few cards posted above we can test them out and see how we do. I really thing yuo need to add in Aura Shards it's a game changer when it gets out.

Sorry for answering late THCue, I've been busy the last weeks. You have some very nice cards in your deck, thank you for posting the list. I'll go into detail for some cards and share my opinion.

Aura Shards I really like it and this card will be added sooner or later.

As I said earlier, I just don't want to add fetch lands for different reasons. I don't think they are mandatory for mana fixing in this deck, also the price might turn some people off.

A friend of mine runs Slaughter the Strong in one of his Oathbreaker decks. I don't think it isn't that good because an opponent can still haven 4 1/1 creatures to block your stuff or to have a engine. I'm happy when it is this board wipe instead of another one because I can save some creatures.

Thallid Shell-Dweller , Perimeter Captain and Wall of Deceit ignore their abilities! They have the best mana/toughness value!

Cards like Sunpetal Grove rarely come in tapped, but that's personal taste.

On a side note Sacred Rites won me a game yesterday. I discarded 4 cards and swung big. I'll keep testing it.

The_Declan I once had both cards in the deck. It really is personal preference what to keep and add between both of them. I rarely block with my creatures so the ability is negligible for me. But thank you for your suggestion!
