![]() While Reaper King is a personal favorite, I’ll admit it comes with a pretty big downside. While Reaper King’s anthem ability is definitely the less important of its two effects, it’s still a nice boost to most of your creatures and can help you in dealing damage once you clear your opponents’ boards. While scarecrows themselves may be largely underwhelming, the ability to blow up any permanent when they enter the battlefield makes them much more intimidating. Reaper King is worth its expensive casting cost thanks to the immense value it adds to your creatures. Your flicker spells can also serve to protect your commander from targeted removal. This is why I’ve included cards like Lightning Greaves to protect it and Spark Double to make extras. The unfortunate truth about this and most Reaper King decks is that they suffer pretty badly when the commander isn’t on the field. Flicker cards like Eerie Interlude can be a powerful way to cash in on your ETB triggers again, and Panharmonicon effects can also improve your game a lot. Unfortunately the available scarecrow creatures at the moment make it difficult to build a deck around them entirely, and I wanted to make sure that most of the creatures you’re playing also trigger Reaper King’s ability.Īpart from scarecrows, I also included other cards that synergize well with your commander. You’ll notice that there are still a few shapeshifters in this deck. The other reason I prefer this is for theming purposes and visual cohesion. From a gameplay standpoint this makes many of your casting costs less restrictive because most scarecrows are colorless artifacts. While shapeshifters have a bit more tribal support thanks to Lorwyn, I prefer to lean more towards the scarecrow side of things. One is the obvious scarecrow tribal, and the other is shapeshifter tribal with changeling. There are two main ways to build a Reaper King deck. I’ll go through how this deck works and talk about a few other options that you could use to switch up how this deck can be built and played. You don’t need to have all the colors to cast it thanks to its hybrid cost, though it’s more expensive the more colors you decide to cut. Even squirrels!Īnother interesting aspect is that, although this is a 5-color commander, you can easily get away with building this deck with only a few colors, even none if you want. It’s your only choice if you want a scarecrow commander, while most other tribes have at least a few legendary creatures to choose from. The Reaper King is a unique commander in a few ways. Ironically, while Lorwyn was the mini-block that introduced tribal mechanics, Shadowmoor gave us one of the most interesting tribal commanders: Reaper King. Lorwyn had a +1/+1 counter sub-theme, so Shadowmoor had a -1/-1 counter one. *I do have FOIL cards available, if you'd like foils add a note when you place your order and I will include as many as possible, but there are no guarantees.Back during the Lorwyn and Shadowmoormini-blocks, Wizards attempted to create two sets that were exact opposites of one another. Cards are nonfoil unless otherwise specified. ![]() Card condition is near-mint to lightly played. The set printing of any individual card you receive will be random. This is a complete, ready-to-play, 100-card Commander/EDH deck, made of authentic English-language Magic: the Gathering cards. This deck will feel at home anywhere - at any table with any other decks and players - for years to come as a valued part of any collection. I select the highest-quality cards available, including the newest cards that other sellers leave out, to create high-performance decks that truly make the most of their Commander. Most Commander decks are loaded with low-quality filler cards to keep costs down, which comes at the expense of power, performance, and ultimately fun. If I Only Had A Brain! This "Scarecrow" Tribal deck takes advantage of Changeling creatures to destroy opponents with its Commander Reaper King. ![]()
