Item Description

Walls were never supposed to win games. Arcades, the Strategist rewrote that rule.

For four mana in green, white and blue, Arcades is a 3/5 flier with vigilance, and it changes how your defenders work. Whenever a creature with defender enters under your control, you draw a card. Better still, each of your defenders can attack as though it didn't have defender and assigns combat damage equal to its toughness instead of its power. A 0/6 wall becomes a six-damage attacker, cheap high-toughness blockers turn into card draw and offense, and the opponent who thought your board was harmless finds it swinging back. Toughness-matters effects and walls with useful abilities make the deck even stronger.

Arcades arrived as part of Core Set 2019's cycle of Elder Dragons, a nod to the Legends dragons behind Commander's original name, and it gave defender decks a commander built entirely around them. This is the Core Set 2019 printing, collector number 212, a non-foil mythic illustrated by Even Amundsen.
