Notes

Arcades supercharges your Walls to become extremely cost effective creatures that can attack as well as defend (hence "Howl's Moving Castle" reference in the name).

"Enter the battlefield" abilities are sprinkled in combined with flicker effect cards to cause more trouble for your opponents.

Crank out walls and bash your opponents into submission while using the utility of flicker, bounce, and counterspell options to mitigate or prevent board wipes.

The deck has a fair number of abilities to keep track of, but isn't too difficult to manage for players familiar with the game.
