Buddylove Thanks! And thanks for the EDH Deck! I'm planing on building one for EDH as well so I'll be talking a look at it!

Trius_The_Firemind, Scytec Thanks, and yeah, of course I would like to see other different decks as well!

Scytec, yeah, at least in this deck, Is more flavor than anything else! And yeah, I'm not authority on the subject or anything, but is true that I've been "specializing" on scarecrows, but I will like to see another scarecrow deck, so let me know as soon as you upload it.

And thank all of you for the upvotes!

Not sure if this has been recommended or not...but I find Crystal Quarry to be amazing in my EDH deck...so do you think it would have a place here?

I mean, It IS really good, and it would have a place here, let's say for casual. The thing is that I wanted to keep it Modern Legal, that's the reason why.

Oh, I am sorry...I didn't know that that card was banned...I guess with cards like Door to Nothingness that makes sense. Sorry

Illusionist's Bracers maybe?

Two cards that might be worth looking at that immediately come to mind are Door of Destinies to keep boosting those 'crows. For the King, himself, I could see Blessing of the Nephilim being an especially beneficial card, although it might be too situational. Things to think about.

Damn, I've been wanting to put this deck together myself for a while but I couldn't think of the best way to so it thanks for paving the way it'll be done soon I'd send you a link if I thought you'd care. Anyway here's the stuff you do care about:1- temperd steel let's face the facts scare crows are weak this card changes that.2- Master Transmuter help you get your king out and activate reaper kings abilities.3- Fabricate tutor your crows

Hey! I hope you don't mind but I used your deck as a base for my deck Don't Fear the Reaper King. There are a few things that I think you should try to fit in, but overall it is an awesome deck! I was trying to make a deck but I was having trouble so I used yours as a base and switched a lot of stuff around to make it the way I thought it would work well.

First of all the thing with me is that all of my friends play hard aggro decks, so I wanted to have a way to either reduce the mana curve or ramp up my mana. I may have done both a bit too much as I am noticing I tend to have a bit TOO much mana now

From playtesting I'd highly suggest you add Grand Architect . In my opinion it's kind of the staple of colour artifact decks, as it allows you to get out creature after creature for pretty cheap, it also works well with Scarecrone since it lets you play its ability for a lot less (not to mention you can tap a creature for mana then sacrifice it and play the ability for 2)

In addition I'd suggest adding Prismatic Omen as it lets you play Reaper King much more reliably, and it can prove useful in other situations.

Also I'd definitely try to add in at least one Ghostway , near end-game it can almost wipe your enemy's entire field!

Anyways, I wouldn't say that this deck is completely fit for anything but casual play, but it is a very useful tool for anyone wanting to make a scarecrow deck based on Reaper King . I commend you, it is very hard when looking at tons of (seemingly bad) artifact creatures to turn them into a viable deck!

P.S. I made my deck using yours for help, so if you make any changes to it and it resembles my deck please tell me and I can switch mine to private, I mentioned you in the start of my description but I don't want to steal your +1's

Hi, sorry for the delay! Thanks guys for all the +1 and comments!

I'll try to address all the recent comments now, wall of text coming!

Scytec: Door to Nothingness seems interesting (and funny), I'm not sure though how to make it fit here.

[email protected], Once upon a time, I was told that Illusionist's Bracers won't work with the Reaper King , don't remember why though. Any insight on this? Thanks. :)

Buckminsterfullerene I like Door of Destinies the most, seems more useful. Thank you!

Mr joker regarding your suggestions, Fabricate is already on the main deck, it always was.Tempered Steel seems like a good alternative to Obelisk of Urd and good complement to Adaptive Automaton and Reaper King 's passive. I may need to decide between that or Door of Destinies .

poorpinkus Thanks a lot for the suggestions as well! And of course I don't mind! I see that you are citing my deck as the source, and I thank you for that. Just once, it bugged me that somebody here copy pasted my deck, changed a few cards, and wrote on the description "after a lot of hard work I made this deck". That comment was in fact the thing that bugged me, but since you are openly saying it, i don't see any issue there, is perfectly fine to get inspiration from somebody else, and even improve their work. In fact, as I said, I did that, I searched for good combos, and tried to combine them in this deck in the best way possible. I will take a look at yours as well!

Its not going to work because its a triggered ability and the bracer's only copy activated abilities for copying triggered abilities we have the Strionic Resonator but im not shure if it fits in this deck... my bad at the time i didn't knew that

MaxoBug Wow that's dumb, I hate it when people do that, like they put no work into something and claim it as their own. I mean, even if they just said "It's a scarecrow deck", but they actually said that they put "hard work" into it... Anyways, it's awesome that most of the rest of the community is so accepting, it makes it a lot easier to get constructive suggestions!

Strionic Resonator might be a fun card with this deck. You can double up on Vindicate s with your Reaper King out, choose two colors with things like Painter's Servant and Lurebound Scarecrow and... that's about it.

but it might be a fun 1 of that you can throw extra Fabricate s at.

Oh, another thing that I think you may want to consider: Since you have so much ability to change the colour of your creatures (which would make Grand Architect work well), if you do decide to put in Grand Architect , you should also look into adding Pili-Pala as the Architect's effect lets Pili-Pala tap for 2 mana, then pay that 2 to untap for 1 mana of any colour. This is pretty insane as it lets you do some infinite-mana combos

Grand Architect and Pili-Pala is an awesome combo that I would love to add. How do I do it, though, is a good question.

And yes poorpinkus, It's a good community indeed. In fact, more comfortable than my local one so far. :-/

Yeah true, that is quite a few slots to take up, I may switch the Pili-Pala to my sideboard to avoid being a Johnny, Combo Player to add in some more control. Just from my experience playtesting I'm not sure if Grim Poppet is entirely necessary, but I can definitely see its use. Would it be a good idea to sideboard and switch to something with persist or the like? I'm not sure entirely but you could always try it

how about adaptive autonomoton over Watchwing Scarecrow main?

I do agree that Watchwing Scarecrow seems a bit weak in this kind of deck but I disagree about Adaptive Automaton, it's not as good as it seems from my experience. I have noticed that persist is very valuable in this kind of deck. If you can find some, I'd suggest replacing the watchwing with some Wingrattle Scarecrows

Watchwing Scarecrow was there as a defensive flying option, useful even without the king. Can be activated either with Painter's Servant, or Scuttlemutt. But I think that it's up to you, they can be switched.

Regarding the Wingrattle Scarecrow I have many, (I have every type of scarecrow, as a collection, LOL), and sure I can try it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sweet deck! I've only just come across Scarecrow cards and looking at them couldn't work out they'd fit together in a deck but this looks fun. How does it play?

You made scarecrow actually... playable! You sir, are a genius!

Thanks! You don't know how awesome is to read that guys! :)

I only see colorless, blue, Academy Ruins and Reaper King. If your main strategy is to revive the Reaper King, why not simply make it mono blue with white splash for Academy Ruins? You could use Temple of Enlightenment and maybe some other blue white lands, but mostly islands which have the distinct advantage of coming in untapped or something like Halimar Depths which has a useful blue effect? (Personally, I'd suggest just islands.). Arcane Sanctum and Transguild Promenade in particular seem questionable.

Really cool deck! +1

You may be interested to know, this has another, lesser known, format legality: bad tribal. The rules are as follows (I have them in my notes and I copy & paste them because I hate typing all that...lol.)

Any creature type in Magic outside of a select few are eligible to be used (more on that later). You build a (minimum) 60 card deck (no sideboards are used) that has at least 25 creatures from the chosen Tribe. Everything else in the deck has to follow the current Modern format rules (including Banned List), but your tribe's creatures can go back to Alpha, if you want to, as any sets are allowed, including special sets like dual decks & commander! (keep in mind that OTHER creatures in your deck that aren't related to your tribe have to be Modern legal).

Now, for the Banned Tribes List:

(some are color-specific, for example, you can't use BLUE Wizards, but any other color Wizards are fine): Beasts, White Clerics, Elemental, Green Elves, Blue Faeries, Zombies, Red Goblins, Merfolk, Slivers, Soldiers, Black Vampires, and Blue Wizards. No creatures from these tribes can be used in this format. Note that Shapeshifters that have the "Changeling" keyword ability are exempted from this rule and may be used to represent any tribe (they'll definitely help you in a Kobold deck!)

Also, anything after the hyphen on a creature card (example: "Creature- Human Wizard" (Xathrid Necromancer.)) is it's creature type! I overheard some people at FNM saying Obelisk of Urd wouldn't work with warriors, and while I've never heard this anywhere else I'll clarify: creature type does include subtype!

Thank you so much! As you supposed, I had no idea that format existed. Good to know!Then, regarding the color of the deck, it is, practically blue. The multicolored lands, are there, or where there in the beginning for two reasons: If you are not able to revive the king, you never got the Scarecrone, or you did but something happened to it/them, You may want to play the Reaper King for cheap, using the multi colored lands and/or Scuttlemutt. The second reason, and one that made stronger first, was to pay for cards from other colors that where on the deck on it's inception. So yeah, maybe just the first reason alone is kinda weak.

And also, why should I need white splash for Academy Ruins? Didn't get that.

I will take that into consideration, but for the moment I will stick with the colored cards for the reason listed, plus, so far I haven't had any problem with them. I can always make the changes later though. :)Thanks again, and for the +1 as well!

You're welcome! For some reason I thought academy ruins was "1WU,: etc...". I was wrong.

Urza's Incubator?
