Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"((This was a complete paper deck. I left the game in late 2022 and liquidated my cards for cash. I've infrequently revisited this site since then.)) "},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reaper King"}},{"insert":" was the first commander to catch my attention when I learned to play. It hasn't been an easy deck to build, but after years of refinement, I think I've reached something viable and fun.\n\nRather than play a lot of crappy scarecrows that didn’t justify their CMCs, I reduced their number, added changelings -- picking cheaper monsters overall -- and leaned heavily into blink effects. The end result is much more effective. \n\nBut first you have to overcome the large challenge of getting Reaper King onto the field quickly. The deck functionally operates in two phases: (A.) establishing a WURBG mana base and then (B.) destroying opponent permanents. I've tried to rebalance lands and mana stones to hit those colors as soon as possible, but the harsh reality is that mana ramp costs real $$$ for this commander. Very frustrating. ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mox Opal"}},{"insert":", for instance, has been moved to the Maybeboard outside most paper deck budgets.)\n\nOnce you get your mana lined up, however, the impact is deadly. Notable plays include:\n\nA chain of three \"champion\" keywords ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Changeling Berserker"}},{"insert":", for example) will create an infinite loop of exile/ETB destruction. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Deadeye Navigator"}},{"insert":" can protect the commander, but it's better to pair with another scarecrow and proactively trigger the ETB clause.

(This may push your experience into bracket-4.) With more opponents, you need a quiet, political approach and hope they hate each other more before they notice you.\n\n\n\n"}]}
