Deck overview

This deck is a defender ("wall") tribal strategy helmed by Arcades, the Strategist. The primary game plan is to deploy cheap walls that draw cards on entry via Arcades's ability, then use either a two-card infinite mana combo (Axebane Guardian or Overgrown Battlement + Freed from the Real) to fuel Staff of Domination for a deck-draw win, or overwhelm opponents with toughness-based combat damage after granting walls the ability to attack. The commander serves as the primary card-advantage engine, turning every defender into a cantrip. The deck also includes Triumph of the Hordes as a one-shot infect finish, Finest Hour for extra combats, and Armageddon as a reset button.
