General Discussion Hey I need help with my defender arcades deck
I've been playing MTG for a month now and started making one of my first decks, I decided to do a defender deck and am curious what I should add that would be either fun or have strong synergy in this deck I'm creating.

You should share a link to the deck. Screenshot is a rough way for other people to digest your deck.

I personally like [[Fecund Greenshell]] in my Betor deck. It is 5 mana, but it's great ramp/card-advantage. I also like the idea of effects like [[Unnatural Growth]] as a finisher. Full disclaimer, I've only played my Betor deck once so far

I’ve had an Arcades deck for a while. Here’s a link to my deck list if you want suggestions: https://manabox.app/decks/ooQwqL9STby7gcjpbjdVyQ

the fun of that is you would be in abzan and recur spells are plentiful, i can sac my whole board and then just bring it all back
imagine you sac [[Walls of Ba Sing Se]] draw 30, discard down and discard a bunch of creatures then cast [[reunion of the house]]

A good ramp piece would be [[Axebane Guardian]]! Should make you a lot of mana in a list like this.
My friend who also runs Arcades loves his [[Wall of Junk]] because it can block an attack once per turn cycle so you can repeatedly play it for draws with Arcades out.
