It was an uphill battle the whole way, but it was a lot of fun.Ībout the Deck ( ) The goal here was to exploit Changelings and Lord-style creatures. Voltron had all his Lions out, and I eventually died to a big General Damage swing. I got out Reaper King again, and was able to destroy the Sword, but my Runed Stalactite was also destroyed. I tried to get out both Spirit Mirror (for changeling trickery), but it was Krosan Gripped. Reaper king hit the board, but got destroyed, and I was stuck on 40 lands for quite a bit of time, all the while being milled by Voltron with a Sword of Body and Mind. I had Lord of the Unreal, Diamond Kaleidoscope and a Crystal Ball to help out a bit.

I started out with 3 lands, two of which were Lairs, and had to do A LOT of land tricks to get a manabase going.

My friend built an actual Voltron voltron deck that is full of custom cards. I’m totally for it (as long as the cards are made with the spirit of the format in mind, and are basically balanced (or unbalanced towards being worse)). One of the best thing about casual formats is that you can play homemade cards. I’ll publish a decklist when I have the first one ready.Location: A friend’s house in Baltimore, MD vs: Voltron (custom deck) 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.

I’ve been looking at The Budget Reaper King Commander and spend hours looking at the synergies and cards used in Reaper King EDH Decks on EDHREC. Pili-Pala, Lockjaw Snapper, Heap Doll, Grim Poppet, Antler Skulkin & Wild-Field Scarecrow. Since then I’ve been checking out the internet for Commander decks including the King Himself and as many of his underlings as possible.ĭuring this process I even found that there are plenty of Shapeshifters with changeling who could prove themselves as quite hefty Scarecrows!Īmong these are Mirror Entity, Unsettled Mariner, Taurean Mauler, Identity Thief, Irregular Cohort, Graveshifter, Changeling Titan and Chameleon Colossus.Īnd then of course there’s all the “real” Scarecrows that I am just dying to include: Scarecrone, Thornwatch Scarecrow, Scrapbasket, Scuttlemutt, Rattleblaze Scarecrow. 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.
