Deck overview

This deck is a five-color kindred control build led by Reaper King. Its core strategy revolves around ramping into its commander and casting low-cost Scarecrows and Changelings to trigger repeatable permanent destruction. By leveraging enter-the-battlefield multipliers like Panharmonicon, Molten Echoes, and Reflections of Littjara, along with mass blink spells like Eerie Interlude and Nahiri's Resolve, the deck systematically dismantles opposing mana bases, commanders, and engines. Massive burst card draw spells like One with the Machine and Rush of Knowledge take advantage of Reaper King's ten mana value to refill the hand with fresh resources. Once opponents are starved of key permanents and blockers, the deck finishes the game by attacking with Reaper King and an augmented army of artifact creatures. While vulnerable to early aggression and artifact wipes, the deck establishes an oppressive attrition lock when given time to set up.
