It's good to see a resurgence of this strat, and this deck plays into it nicely! Some ideas:
- Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper *f-etch*: a bit like lifelink on combat damage for all your creatures based on toughness; pretty darn powerful in this deck.
- Oketra the True: with an ability to damage based on toughness, this god suddenly becomes quite the behemoth.
- Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa: makes it more difficult to stop many of your attackers during combat.
- Silklash Spider: a potent combatant when she's allowed to deal damage through toughness, as well as having a built-in, slightly less powerful, reusable Hurricane.
- Skinshifter: great for being multi-functional and can become a 0/8 monstrosity in a flash.
Good luck with this brew!

Eloniel Ohhh! Thank you for the in-depth analysis on Plagon, Lord of the Beach. I completely missed the fact that it, by itself, would be useless as an attacker since it doesn't have Defender. I completely agree now that it would simply sit as an unstable draw engine.
Been also wanting to add Weathered Sentinels for a long time on my Arcades deck but it's currently still too expensive and I wouldn't want to exceed my $100 budget. So it's gonna be either that or Crystal Barricade.
I was also finally able to find the opportunity to play Arcades on a complete pod after returning and also agree that Brave the Sands seems like a good choice to be swapped out for a wall with better utility. Since most of the time, opponents would have blockers for the walls on the ground while the evasive ones I'd rather play safe and use for swinging instead of using as blockers.
Thanks for bringing Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa up, after looking at him once again, I just realized that he would actually work well with The Pride of Hull Clade! I was mulling over him since Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive doesn't work with him which puts the 15 toughness to waste if the opponents have blockers. I'll probably bring him back in my deck as well after some testing.

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.

Thank you Craeter for commenting on Para Bellum | Arcades, The Strategist!
I really wanted my build to be centered on walls and defenders. I feel the tweaks I made over the years have not yielded the intended result and I was planning a few changes.
I like that you included Resolute Watchdog, I might do the same. Calming Verse is a great card, I had forgotten it existed. I have to try that in a few lists.
For your own list I think you would like Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa for the evasion.

I personally run Solitary Confinement in my Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa / Tymna the Weaver *f-etch* deck.
The deck focuses on 2 main themes. There's a ton of ways to protect me and my board and it has a bunch of stax and hatebear pieces with either 2 power or less for Sidar or flying.
I personally go for post-block pumps with things like Mirror Entity or big X spells like Exsanguinate as finishers but it could easily just buy time to combo.

debuf Vial Smasher w/ Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa would be super unique but I'm not sure what if anything green brings to this strategy tbh.

Crackdown would be good here. Opp Agent and Sheoldred are the only creatures of yours that it effects. I have a deck with a similar gameplan to this but with green instead of blue (Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa instead of Sakashima).
Both seem to go for small hatebears but how are you getting them past blockers for Tymna card draw? That's why I run Sidar with Tymna personally.
Added Layers of Protection - Tymna & Sidar if you feel like taking a look since they share 2 colors.

Dhalsim reminds me of Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa - 'cept Sidars ability is trying to reflect mystical arial horsemanship prowess, which if you look at it I think it does so well... So I am sure Dhalsim's flexible nature versus more rigid opponents is part of this unusual stretchskulk
