Crows be a Reapin (Deck of Combos) by Cronknight

Deck overview

This deck is a five-color combo build helmed by Reaper King, blending high-efficiency win conditions with secondary Scarecrow and Guildgate packages. Rather than relying on its expensive commander, the primary game plan accelerates into compact two-card combos, notably Thassa's Oracle paired with Demonic Consultation, or Dualcaster Mage copying Molten Duplication for infinite hasty attackers. Efficient black tutors like Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor provide consistent access to combo pieces, while premier card engines such as Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, and The One Ring ensure sustained resource flow. The deck protects its decisive turns with proactive silence effects like Grand Abolisher, Silence, and Veil of Summer, supported by free interaction. Although the 14-card Gate package introduces some tap-land friction, early mana dorks stabilize the mana base, allowing the deck to threaten protected, instant-speed table kills as early as Turn 4.
