So with this rare opportunity, let's indulge our sweet tooth a bit, shall we? Let's play the splashiest bomb multicolor cards in the format, all here in one deck. There's one more thing I haven't talked about the Reaper King, an awesome bonus for choosing him: as a 5-color commander, you can play any card that is legal in the format! Most decks do not have that luxury - in fact, this is the first time that I get to write about a budget 5-color deck. Dack's Duplicate, Evil Twin, Spitting Image, and many others are available to us.
These can copy our scarecrows when Reaper King is on the field for more Vindicates, but they can also copy any other valuable creature for when our commander isn't on the field or when we don't need something blown up. So now that we've got a bunch of "scarecrows" in our deck, let's sweeten the deck with a Clone subtheme: creatures that come into play as copies of other things on the board. Now you don't need to feel restricted to playing mediocre creatures to trigger Reaper King's ability - ALL of your creatures are Vindicates! BOOM! Both cards turn all your creatures into scarecrows.

The very best trick to have a deck full of scarecrows, however, are these two cards: Conspiracy and Xenograft. Once the champion dies, the champion'd creature returns to the battlefield, trigging the King a third time. Play a "scarecrow," triggering Reaper King's ability, then play a champion, trigging King again. My favorites are the changelings that champion a creature, such as Changeling Berserker. Changeling creatures, like Shapesharer, are all creature types - yes, including scarecrow! Many changelings are actually good cards, unlike the vast majority of scarecrows out there. then we quickly find ourselves amongst the "not even good enough for Limited" scarecrows, like Thornwatch Scarecrow.įortunately for us, we have tricks to play "scarecrows" without having to play crappy cards that literally have the word "scarecrow" written on the card. The best is Scarecrone, which is a legitimately great card regardless of subtype, then probably Scuttlemutt, which is okay if you're focusing on subtype. The tribe he commands, however, is underwhelming to say the least. Reaper King is one of the very best tribal leaders ever printed in terms of raw power. With that in mind, let's check out what makes Reaper King tick. So, while you should absolutely take advantage of his awesome abilities, it's recommended not to build your deck completely based on His Grace sitting on the battlefield. Such fearful power is a double-edged sword, however: your opponents will fear for the safety of all their permanents (and rightfully so), that fear leads to anger at you blowing up their stuff, which then leads to hate - hating you off the board, that is! Yup, unfortunately Reaper King often comes with a "kill on sight" target on his back, which means that any removal that can knock him out of the fight will be cast on him.
When His Majesty graces the battlefield, no permanent is safe: the King turns his lowly subjects, the rather underpowered tribe of Scarecrows, into Vindicates! Our man Reaper King is king of the pumpkin patch! Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King! This commander truly is one to strike fear in the hearts of your opponents. Won't you please make way for a very special guy: With a whopping 52% of the vote, the decision is clear, and the result makes Linus van Pelt ecstatic. Welcome to our Halloween special, folks! Last article, you guys voted for a spooky commander to lead our ghastly forces.
