Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color tribal control build commanded by Reaper King. It leverages changelings and Scarecrows to turn every creature drop into targeted permanent destruction. The mana base uses green ramp, signets, and dual lands to meet five-color requirements early. Once Reaper King enters on Turn 4, the deck uses blink engines like Teleportation Circle and Soulherder, token doublers like Panharmonicon and Roaming Throne, and cheap changelings like Universal Automaton to trigger multiple Vindicate effects each turn. This systematically removes opposing commanders, key engines, and lands. The deck wins by grinding down opposing boards and attacking with high-power creatures, or by resolving a kicked Rite of Replication targeting Reaper King to trigger twenty-five destruction effects at once.
