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. I’ll publish a decklist when I have the first one ready.Welcome to our Halloween special, folks! Last article, you guys voted for a spooky commander to lead our ghastly forces. Now the next step is to put this deck together and have a first draft ready for the weekend when the boys are dropping by to play some rounds of Commander. White Spells: Flickerform, Liberate, Long Road Home, Momentary Blink, Justiciar’s Portal, Otherworldly Journey, Acrobatic Maneuver & Eerie Interlude. Plus since the Reaper King is all colors, he will activate the color effects on the Scarecrows in the deck.Īs BLINKERs I am looking at putting some of the following cards:Īrtifacts: Blood Clock, Skeleton Shard, Crystal Shard and Conjurer’s Closetīlue Spells: Disappearing Act, Familiar’s Ruse, Essence Flux, Ghostly Flicker, Illusionist’s Stratagem, Paradoxial Outcome, Part the Veil, Rebuild, Release to the Wind, Teferi’s Time Twist, Sunken Hope, Equilibrium & Cunning Evasion I’ve settled for the BLINK idea – I want those Scarecrows to blink in and out of the world, putting the Reaper King‘s skill “ When another Scarecrow comes into play under your control, destroy target permanent” to maximum use. But then again – one of each color of mana doesn’t do much when most of the Scarecrows are either artifacts or single color Shapeshifters. One of the cards I’ve been considering is Morophon, the Boundless as it is a Shapeshifterwith changelingand it does reduce the cost of any Scarecrow with one of each color mana.

He has been on my mind for a few years and I recall buying him about a year ago or so along with every other Scarecrow creature I could get my hands on. So, despite the contious flow of new Magic The Gathering cards which are just begging me to be put to good use, I am still pondering how to build a deck around the Reaper King.
