Tree of Redemption

: Exchange your life total with this creature's toughness.

Okay, so the creatures that assign damage based on your creatures' toughness that are in the Maybeboard are a good start.
I'm of the firm belief every deck should have at least one Alternate Win Card. May I suggest any combination of Angel of Destiny and Triskaidekaphobia? With the latter you can add in Tree of Perdition for a win combo.
Speaking of trees have you considered Tree of Redemption? If you add that with Huatli, the Sun's Heart you have a life gain boost if you can find a way to blink her.
Honestly, Unless you plan to add any combination of Inversion Behemoth and Transmutation to your deck, I don't see the point of having cards such as Loathsome Troll and Yargle.
Finally, I would recommend Crenellated Wall, Crystal Barricade, Felothar the Steadfast and Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa. Though in the case of the last one you'll have to reconsider some of the deck as you'll need creatures with power 2 or less.
I hope these help. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Couple of suggestions: The Walls of Ba Sing Se for the lolz and Tree of Redemption to go with the other tree.

Gotta love Arcades! Some fun ideas:
- Bar the Door/Tower Defense: they won't see this one coming.
- Fell the Mighty/Wave of Reckoning: one-sided creature-wipes.
- Meekstone: will hurt your opponents a lot (at least much more than it will hurt you).
- Tree of Redemption: massive defender with a neat utility life-gain trick that can help in case you're being whittled down by your opponents.
Have fun with this brew!

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.

Redeemed Sapling
Creature - Plant
Defender
When Perditous Sapling enters the battlefield, your life total becomes equal to the greatest life among your opponents.
: Transform Perditous Sapling. Activate only if you have the lowest life total.
0/2
Perditous Sapling
() Creature - Tree
When this creature transforms into Perditous Sapling, each opponents life total becomes equal to the lowest life total among them.
0/4
Tree of Perdition and Tree of Redemption pet cards of mine so I jumped at a chance to make an homage to them.
Create red card that interacts with enchantments. Keep in mind that this is something outside of reds colour pie. The only card I'm aware of that does it is Enchanter's Bane.

I'd diversify by adding cards like Assault Formation and Tree of Redemption or Tree of Perdition. I run a similar deck based around toughness and I have 8 copies of cards that change the way creatures interact with power and toughness with some draw and I still struggle some games. Some other good cards for you would be Tower Defense and Huatli, the Sun's Heart hope this helps.

Life Swap Shenanigans!

Sanguine Bond is half of an instant win combo with Exquisite Blood but also Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and Defiant Bloodlord do the same thing as Sanguine Bond. They're easier to remove, since they're creatures, but multiple instances will proc the effect more often. Consider also Tree of Perdition and Triskaidekaphobia for a laugh, or Tree of Redemption as another source of life swapping. I wouldn't recommend building around it, but if you could play Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper and somehow let the tree attack without defender, you could swing for something like 30 or 40 damage and immediately gain that much life back, so it's 40+13, then 53+13, then 66+13, and you're killing them with just some plant, some ordinary shrubbery from outside. That's such a niche combo, but if you swap someone's life to 13 that counts as them losing 27 life, so with Exquisite Blood, you would gain that much life as well. This also applies to things like Wound Reflection and my personal favorite best boy, Master of Cruelties

You can never forget about your Deathly Hallows!!
Magewright's Stone (Ressurection stone)
Whispersilk Cloak (invisibility cloak)
Sorcerer's Wand (elder wand)
And what about the whipping willow? Tree of Redemption? Or Hagrid's Opaline Unicorn? And what of Dobby's Goblin Game?
