Deck overview

This is a five-color Scarecrow-tribal value deck built around Reaper King's Vindicate-style trigger. Every changeling in the list is a Scarecrow, so the deck's main engine is simple: resolve Reaper King, then cast or flicker cheap Scarecrows and changelings to destroy one permanent per trigger. The deck supports that engine with artifact-cost reducers like Etherium Sculptor and Foundry Inspector, a slow but functional five-color land base, and a flicker package that doubles as both protection and trigger-rewinding. Its best turns use Wake the Past or Reflections of Littjara to turn one spell into a wave of Scarecrow-enters triggers, clearing the table of problem permanents before closing with combat from the 6/6 commander and a changeling army. There are no infinite combos in the list; the plan is incremental removal plus beatdown, with heavy reliance on the commander staying on the battlefield.
