Reaper King by VicFenrir

Commander: Reaper King

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Reaper King is the engine and payoff of a five-color Scarecrow/changeling deck. The primary plan is to cast Reaper King, then use every Scarecrow/changeling entry to destroy a permanent; flicker and copy spells (Another Round, Eerie Interlude, Rite of Replication, Reflections of Littjara, Virtue of Knowledge) turn those entries into mass denial. Secondary paths are token-army combat through March of Progress and a haste alpha strike with Wake the Past; Imposing Grandeur, One with the Machine, and Rush of Knowledge refill using Reaper King's mana value 10. The Reaper, King No More is a supporting legendary Scarecrow but not a true hidden commander. There is no deterministic infinite combo, so the deck wins through repeated removal and Scarecrow beatdown.
