This deck is based around controlling your opponents by triggering Reaper King with a bunch of (fake) scarecrows. Filling the deck full of shapeshifters with Changeling, we are able to get the effect, without the limitations of using scarecrows.

With the destruction that Reaper King produces, we want to be able to capitalize on if in more ways than just control. So I added cards like Grave Betrayal Extractor Demon and Grim Feast for added bonuses.

Also have some tribal ramp to give our creatures a boost.

All suggestions welcome, upvotes appreciated!
