Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Pretty politics heavy deck. Once Arcade has managed to get 5 counters it usually becomes one of the biggest threats on the table. In theory the deck at that point has a hand size of at least a dozen cards—but it's very fickle to maintain at that pace with this current build. I am always surprised by how many cards Arcade draws. Arcade doesn't impose itself enough to truly demand removal, and it's a very cool outlet to pull white cards out of the graveyard. The deck feels like you're salvaging the last remains of a nuclear winter, mobilizing glimmers of hope in a wasteland that never would have imagined prosperity just two turns ago,\n"}]}
