Reaper King

Reaper King is a five-color scarecrow lord that turns your scarecrow tokens into a removal engine. Every time a scarecrow enters the battlefield under your control, you destroy a permanent—which means you're essentially getting a free Vindicate effect each time you make a token. The deck wants to generate scarecrow tokens as efficiently as possible, then sacrifice or flicker them repeatedly to trigger Reaper King's ability multiple times per turn. This transforms a normally fragile token strategy into a relentless control deck that grinds opponents out while building an army.

Your core game plan revolves around sacrifice outlets and token generators. Cards like Marsh Flitter, Bitterblossom, and Murmuring Mystic create a steady stream of scarecrows or tokens you can convert into scarecrows, while Ashnod's Altar and Viscera Seer let you sacrifice them for value. Once you've built a modest board, Reaper King enables a slow strangulation of your opponents' mana bases and key threats. The deck doesn't race—it methodically removes threats while building toward tokens or sacrifice outlets that go infinite.

Wins come from attrition and board dominance rather than sudden explosive turns. You're happy to sit back, remove threats at your leisure, and eventually swing in with a pile of scarecrows, or assemble a sacrifice-outlet combo that permanently locks down the board.
