You made some good choices in this draft, but there's room for improvement. Azor's Elocutors  isn't a very reliable card, so it would have helped more to use that other Hussar Patrol  instead. Whether or not you should play Azorius Arrester  when your opponent has nothing depends on what else is out and timing. If it's early in the game, like on your second turn, the creature presence is more helpful. Later on, when both players have more mana available and you have other creatures out, waiting until they play something may be a better option. And bouncing a Rakdos Shred-Freak  is somewhat pointless due to haste, but if you do, it's all about timing. I think that there are two ideal times to do it; when it attacks before it does damage, and before your combat when you want to eliminate it as a blocker.

I play arrester like a detain spell that gives me a creature, so holding onto it is fine. Nota bad move when you have authority either.
The elocutors are fine... Though skywatch is better. Still, a 3/5 alt win con on your board is nice.
What were your match ups? I can't see improving this deck much, the tempo here is nice and it looks fun, if risky, to play.

My first match was against a red/green beatz deck. That was probably my toughest matchup because he was running two Rubbleback Rhino  and two Racecourse Fury  which made me chuckle at first but then I realized that Cobblebrute  with haste is kind of scary. Second match was against a poorly built rakdos deck. I think he was trying to draft aggro but didnt get what he was looking for... but he really had no middle to his curve at all so as longg as i didnt see three Rakdos Shred-Freak real early I wasnt too worried. Third match was against a selesnya build that was focused on two (yes two, pretty crazy) Wayfaring Temple  with a bunch a centaur tokens flying around. I actually didnt side at all during my matches. The only time i thought about it was against the selesnya build was putting in my Sundering Growth  Because he had two Knightly Valor  and a keyrune. After the fact the guy who Ran selesnya suggested I run a forest so I could Regenerate my sentry late game if it came up. Seems as I had a Selesnya Guildgate  I feel I really should have ran it because theres no real downside to doing that.

I wouldn't have run the Elocutors or Selesnya Sentries, and gone with the third Patrol, Skywatch, and Judgement. If you HAD to run the Sentries (and I could see the tempo argument) I'd at least think about the Selesnya Guildgate.
