what the hell am I doing with my life?

I've wanted to build Reaper King for a while now.While I usually have an affinity for strong decks and combos,this one is quite fair in my opinion. I am a big fan of tribals,so I went with the Scarecrow theme instead of Changelings.Not sure whether I have some combos and strong interactions, but it was mostly built with things I had around.

Sooo, what we have here is a rare mix of... stuff? That maybe, kind of, sort of, not really work with Scarecrows? Oddly enough ,the deck can pack a punch, especially if you get the King out and and you can get a healthy doese of scrap out and keep it going. Blink is fun and not overly broken. I do get to destroy a permanent you own if you are picking on the Scarecrow deck, you arse! Here are some of the decisions I've made: Sydri, Galvanic Genius is present,because she can make blocking crap scarecrows a bit more unpleasant.

Everlasting Torment is kind of a flavor addition here,but I want to see how well it plays with the wholle persist/wither theme.

I don't happen to own too many blink cards,so I only have two: Ghostway and Brago, King Eternal and they should be quite sufficient to make things a bit more interesting.

There are a few "anthem effects here, like card:Mirati's wake and Tempered Steel that make the heap actually somewhat spooky,scary

I decided to skip on removal, because hey, Reaper King is a Vindicate along with being the only scrap of metal that doesn't suck along with Scarecrone.

The goal is to get the King out and hope he doesn't get blasted. I try to focus on casting him for 5 colors instead of 10, but playing artifatcs has the advantage of ramping with a lot of rocks. After a while, they just won't be able to kill your Pumpkin, and you can start punishing :D

I haven't played this deck in a while. Anyway,I am open for suggestions and ideas. Let's make the Pumpkin king popular!

Updates Add

I'll update the deck with the new Kindred cycle and some tribal cards from C17 and see how they perform. I am considering the Conspiracy effects,since Ixalan introduced a third card and I'm curious to see how it goes.
