Sorcery (1)


So, this deck is just an idea I've been thinking about. A friend of mine had a Reaper King EDH (the very well upvoted Everyday I'm Changeling), and despite the public opinion, he gave up on the deck because the commander was too focused and the deck was really fragile to board wipes too.

I caught myself thinking in a not-so-fragile version for this deck, and new ways to abuse Reaper King's ability nowadays. The main problem I've found for his strategy to be so fragile was that he depended too heavily on changelings. The main thing on the deck was playing the best tribal lords to pump up the changelings, and after a single board wipe the changelings simply perish. They are not the commander, so they won't be coming back.

With this in mind, I decided to gather 3 strategies I already use separately in my 3 current commanders:

1. In my Unblockabruna Bruna's EDH, I am already used to having my commander focused as much as possible, and I play mainly protecting it.

2. In my Brago, King Blink182 Brago's EDH, I focus on exploiting and enhancing blinking. Blinking scarecrows is very good with Reaper King on the board!

3. In my Sliver: the Gathering sliver EDH, the mana base for five colors never failed me too much. It also has a lot of hexproof or shroud enchantments that can protect Reaper King as well!

So, now I'll try to explain the use of some cards here you'll find on the decklist.

Antler Skulkin + Chainbreaker can save you commander many times.

Harvest Hand   can turn into a good equipment for changelings.

Grim Poppet is very blinkable, and Scarecrone is just way too good!

Scuttlemutt, Pili-Pala, Wild-Field Scarecrow, Elvish Harbinger, Gemhide Sliver, Manaweft Sliver , Treefolk Harbinger, Prismatic Omen, Bloom Tender, Chromatic Lantern and Boundless Realms are here to help with the mana issues.

"Champion a creature" changelings are here to make scarecrows enter the battlefield several times.

There are a few lords to help the changelings, but just the protective ones like Drogskol Captain and Sliver Hivelord. Runed Stalactite allows your commander to benefit from all the lords too!

Abuse of Reaper King's main ability with stuff like Conjurer's Closet, Panharmonicon, Strionic Resonator Rite of Replication and a lot of blinking instants (that can also be used for protection)!

Elvish Harbinger can search for Bloom Tender or Joiner Adept, Treefolk Harbinger can search for Timber Protector or a Forest. But both can search for any changeling card, including Crib Swap!

That's it, hope you guys like it, and don't forget to upvote! Maybe it inspires my friend to play with Reaper King again. :D
