Arcades, the Strategist (M19-212) is a legendary Elder Dragon creature from Core Set 2019 that is triple-colored (G/U/W) and a mythic rare. It gives creatures with defender the ability to assign combat damage equal to their toughness and allows them to attack, and it also grants flying and vigilance plus a card-draw trigger when defenders enter the battlefield. Its effect changes how damage is assigned rather than altering power or toughness, which interacts with rules and effects in specific ways noted in its rulings.
