The Great Wall Marches
Legends tell of ancient fortresses, impenetrable citadels where no force could breach their towering walls. But in the presence of Arcades, the Strategist, these walls do not simply stand—they advance. They become the army. They crash down upon enemies like an unrelenting tide of stone and steel. Where others see obstacles, Arcades sees warriors of endurance, soldiers that defy logic itself—unbreakable, unyielding, and yet utterly unstoppable in battle.
This deck transforms defenders into conquerors, turning their immense toughness into devastating power. It is a deck where fortifications become formations, citadels become sieges, and bastions become battering rams.
The Vanguards of Stone and Arcane
In the armies of Arcades, the greatest warriors are not flesh and blood, but unbreakable sentinels, their forms forged from pure endurance. Under his command, these immovable bastions become an unstoppable force, striking not with swords and spears, but with their own sheer resilience.
Wall of Denial – A spectral bulwark that floats above the battlefield, untouchable by magic or steel, ensuring that nothing can pierce your defenses. Wall of Blossoms & Wall of Omens – Each fortress brings knowledge as it rises, allowing you to peer into the future and replenish your reserves. Overgrown Battlement & Axebane Guardian – Ancient ramparts infused with primal energy, channeling mana like the roots of an ancient world tree, ensuring the tide of war never ceases. Shield-Wall Sentinel – A messenger of the bastion, summoning reinforcements from the depths of forgotten strongholds. Wingmantle Chaplain – The skybound architect, crafting an endless legion of watchful wings, a divine host of guardian spirits.
Each defender that rises is not just a shield—it is a blade.
Breaking the Chains
Walls were meant to stand, not to march—until now. Arcades is the key that unlocks their true potential, but even without him, the march of the fortresses does not falter.
High Alert – A battle decree that shatters ancient laws, lifting the shackles from defenders and unleashing their full power. Assault Formation – The strategic breakthrough, where what once was defense becomes a crushing advance, bending the very rules of war. Huatli, the Sun's Heart – A champion of the ancient ways, who sees strength not in aggression, but in endurance—turning sheer willpower into overwhelming force.
Even without Arcades, the march does not stop. The fortresses rise, and they advance.
A War of Attrition
Most armies fear the wrath of fire and steel—but what of an avalanche of stone and magic? This deck thrives where others fall, wielding the power of selective destruction.
Slaughter the Strong & Fell the Mighty – As enemies clash upon the walls, their greatest champions crumble, unable to stand against the unwavering might of the bastion. Expel the Interlopers – A final decree that banishes the unworthy, ensuring that only the fortified and the strong endure. Austere Command – A strategic reckoning, shattering what is unnecessary and preserving what is eternal. Dusk // Dawn – The fall and the rise—a massacre for those who rely on brute strength, and a resurrection for those who stand tall in resilience.
The battlefield is a war of attrition, and Arcades ensures that only the strongest remain standing.
The Finishing Blow
The walls have awakened, but how does an army of fortresses strike first? How do bastions crash down upon the enemy with swiftness and fury?
Crashing Drawbridge & Walking Bulwark – The great citadels shake off the dust of centuries and charge into battle. No longer do they wait—they strike. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive – A master of the unseen, allowing your unassuming battlements to slip past enemy lines, striking with impunity. Tower Defense – When the battle rages at its peak, the walls do not fall—instead, they rise even higher, crashing down in a wave of unimaginable force. Stalwart Shield-Bearers – The architects of resilience, reinforcing the bastions, ensuring that every strike lands harder, and every wall stands taller.
When the time is right, the citadel marches forward, and nothing can withstand its charge.
The Keepers of Knowledge
Stone does not speak, but it remembers—and through its forgotten wisdom, Arcades ensures the march never falters.
Wall of Mulch – The ritual of sacrifice, trading ancient bastions for insight into the tides of battle. Rigo, Streetwise Mentor – The clever tactician, ensuring that every silent strike is recorded, every flaw in the enemy’s defense exploited. Sevinne's Reclamation – The return of lost wisdom, ensuring that what is forgotten is reclaimed, and what is abandoned is restored. Cosmic Rebirth – The immortal decree, returning any lost fortress, at the most crucial moment.
The great bastions of knowledge ensure the war never ceases, and Arcades always has the wisdom to press forward.
The Eternal Guardians
Arcades does not march alone. Three champions walk beside him, their wills as unbreakable as the very walls they command.
Teyo, the Shieldmage – The Ward of Gobakhan, whose very presence weaves a veil of protection, ensuring that the army of walls remains untouchable. Huatli, the Sun's Heart – The Voice of the Colossus, who sees that endurance is might, and power is measured not in strength, but in resilience. Ajani Unyielding – The Great Guardian, who strikes down the enemy’s champions, while guiding his own forces to ever-greater heights. His ultimate decree ensures that every fortress ascends, turning the walls into divine warriors of unstoppable might.
Together, they are the Immortal Bastion, an army of unshakable resolve.
The Legacy of the Bastion
This deck is not simply about survival—it is about domination through endurance. It is about watching the enemy break against the walls, and then turning those very walls into the unrelenting tide that drowns them.
The stronghold does not fall.
The battlements do not break.
And when the moment is right—the citadel marches forward, and the world itself shakes beneath its step.

honestly, very conflicted
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
the pros: incredibly hydrating, absorbs quickly into the skin, the nozzle turns to lock, leaves me glowing, the price point is good, dispenser doesn't get clogged...
the cons: it's not as sparkly/shimmery as i'd expect it. i expected more gold sparkle, i realized that i ended up super hydrated and moisturized with a spec of gold glitter here and there after application. the photos of the product are deceiving. there is an issue with the cap, it never stays on.
overall: i do like it for the longetivity and how nice and moisturized it makes my skin feel, but i'll be searching for a product that has more sparkle/shimmer while being equally as hydrating. that's what i want!!

Holy Grail Moisturizer for Rosacea
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz
In seeing so many negative reviews I felt compelled to weigh in as this is my favorite moisturizer. I have very dry, menopausal skin. Additionally, I have rosacea which seems to have been a nice gift from said menopause (you can only laugh, right?). It's very common for those of us in our 50's to have a compromised skin barrier and when an issue like rosacea is present, even more so. Because of all this my skin is very intolerant to most moisturizers and nearly all actives (over the last few years I've had to discontinue my retinols and chemical exfoliators). While ingredients like ALA's, petrolatum, mineral oil, parafin/bees wax, and lanolin are well tolerated and known to be quite soothing, they don't hydrate very well as they are more occlusive than moisturizing. Enter this product. Magically, it does both! It's marketed as a protective cream, which again implies occlusive, but it penetrates like no other. Gone is the tight, dry feeling that persisted even when I had a heavy layer of product on my skin (my previous moisturizer was Eucerin Original Healing Cream -- which still has its uses -- because it was the only thing I could put on my skin outside of squalane oil during a flare).
Now, no topical can cure rosacea. However, the right product can calm the skin, repair the damaged lipid barrier, and improve its appearance. This moisturizer does just that and it's become my holy grail. Since starting this I've also added in the Cicalfate Serum which has only aided in repairing my skin. Another Avene product that works great for me is the XeraCalm Balm which helps with itching. I use all three of these daily and they've really helped fix the secondary issues that come with rosacea.
As for the complaints about it being greasy or too heavy. I can see this not working for people with normal or oily skin (or perhaps only in moderation). But my skin loves the heavier weight and because one of the ways I soothe a flare is to keep a tiny mister bottle on hand and repeatedly spray my face so I have to guard against the drying effects of evaporation. These products are so lipid heavy that I can wet my face all day long without worrying about that, though I do reapply throughout the day.
As for the watery consistency issue, I haven't had that problem but it does caution on the packaging not to expose the product to temperatures below 41 degrees F (5 C). I suspect that if it gets too cold either because of the weather or because of whatever warehouse it sat in during transit it will separate. Maybe open the package and before squeezing some out look to see if it has split and then shake it up/message the tube.
So, if you have skin like mine don't hesitate to try this product. I'm leaving this absurdly long review for my struggling brothers and sisters out there with rosacea in hopes that it provides some relief! Happy moisturizing, internet strangers. ;)

Possible solution to seperation
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
I love this product so much, but, like everyone else the water HEAVILY separated. A lot of water just shot out immediately and as i've used the cream it has felt more and more thick bc of that, shaking the tube or not.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
I actually think the company could salvage this problem by upgrading packaging to a Cosmetic JAR and then customers could take a toothpick and stir if separation has occurred by the time of purchase. I hope to try this with my next tube, just toothpaste squeezed everything out into a nice cosmetic jar and stir the water back into the product. This is such a simple solution that could really solve the product waste.
This refreshes my skin, doesn't break me out, and is lovely. I break out so easily, and being middle aged my skin really requires a dense help with moisture. <3

Ordered in spring/summer and it arrived separated too BUT...
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
Ok, So I heard great things about this cream and decided to order. I ordered on May 28th and I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas and it is in the low 90s right now. I was worried mine would arrived separated like many others claimed to have gotten theirs, and sadly it did. Warm weather or not, blue water shot out of the tube the minute I squeezed it. Luckily, I read Mia P's review and submerged my tube in warm water (hot water actually straight out of my instant hot water faucet). I left it for about 5 minutes then shook it vigoroously. It seemed to help but was still a bit wonky so I repeated the process again and success! My tube is totally fine now and comes out in a thick, rich, emollient cream as it is supposed to. I will update my review after I use it more but so far I love the way it feels on the skin. It is very thick but spreads nicely and completely absorbs into the skin and leaves no greasy residue which is a big deal because I have oily skin. I purchased this to help with my Retin A uglies (I actually am using Musely with .05% tretinoin) and am hoping it helps with the redness and peeling I am having. I will update my review once I've used it for a while but wanted to post this review as I saw so many people complaining about the separating and just thought I'd mention that you can fix this issue if you have it (and there is a good likely hood that you will).
Update: I've been using this for a week now and I am absolutely in love with this cream! It is the most hydrating and healing cream I've ever used. Usually, thicker face creams like this would cause issues for me with acne or clogged pores as I do have oily skin that can break out if I use products with occlusive ingredients, but this one does not. In fact, my skin has never looked better! This is a must-have if you are using Retin-A/Tretinoin and going through the red/peely phase with your skin. The separation that occurred when I first received it has not been a problem and the cream is staying thick and free from any strange liquidy issues after I put it in hot water as mentioned in the first part of my review.

Saved My Skin and Healed My Eczema
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz, Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
I was having the worst skin winter of my life. I am hypersensitive and my skin started rejecting an expensive line I had used for many years (EL). My skin wasn’t healing even just using AQ balm on it and occasionally steroids when it was extra bad, and the pronounced eczema on my eyelids and neck for months was making me miserable and gross looking. I started researching brands I hadn’t tried for super sensitive skin and saw recommendations for Avene. We were leaving on a vacation and I was desperate to feel better so I ordered this and the matching serum. I started with only this cream and overnight I saw my skin start to heal. Within a few days it was like the last few months never happened. I carefully added the serum and had no issues. I used only these two products for the month I was gone and had glowing skin the whole time. This is thicker than a normal lotion since it is made to protect your skin but if you let it warm up a few seconds it smoothes easily. This will definitely remain a staple in my skin arsenal and I can’t thank you enough for making an actually gentle but effective product! This picture is two weeks after starting the product, smooth skin and confident to take selfies!
