Deck overview

This is a five-color Scarecrow tribal deck helmed by Reaper King, leveraging changelings (which are every creature type, including Scarecrow) to trigger its permanent-destruction ability on every etb. The primary game plan is to deploy changelings cheaply, stack multiple Reaper King triggers, and systematically dismantle opponents' boards while building a wide creature presence. The deck also packs flicker effects to re-trigger etb value, a handful of recursion spells, and two alternate win conditions: a kicked Rite of Replication on Reaper King to destroy 25 permanents at once, and Liliana's Contract - the many changelings with different names can satisfy the four-Demon condition. The strategy is highly commander-dependent and value-driven, aiming to grind out advantage rather than race for a fast combo.
